Even though Tampa’s quarterback situation is iffy, their tight end situation is anything but. Despite having two different quarterbacks on and off so far this season, O.J. Howard has continued to be a solid tight end in both the league and in fantasy football.

Howard now gets a Panthers defense that has been unable to stop the tight end. Per Fabiano of NFL.com,

"Their defense has struggled to stop tight ends, allowing an average of more than 19 PPR points per game to the position this season."

This is as good of a match-up as there is for Howard, who has put himself into the weekly Start ‘Em conversation at a position that has been really thin this season. Get him into your lineup against the Panthers on Sunday.
