Disappointing finish to season
Howard was not targeted in the Buccaneers' 28-22 overtime loss to the Falcons on Sunday, finishing the 2019 season with 34 receptions on 53 targets for 459 yards and a touchdown across 14 games.
Analysis: That Howard wasn't even targeted in a game the Buccaneers played without Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) is somewhat strangely fitting, considering how underwhelming his 2019 season was overall. The third-year pro looked to be turning the corner over the prior four contests, a stretch during which he amassed 16 receptions for 226 yards, or nearly half his production for the entire campaign. Howard will hope to enjoy a bigger role in 2020, but his usage during his first…read more

Pedestrian season continues
Howard caught three of seven targets for 46 yards in Saturday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Howard failed to step up with the team missing its top two wide receivers -- Mike Evans and Chris Godwin -- to hamstring injuries. The 2017 first-rounder has been one of this season's biggest disappointments, topping 50 yards only three times all season while scoring just one touchdown. Howard will finish his season against the Falcons in Week 17.

Solid effort in Week 15 win
Howard secured four of eight targets for 46 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-17 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Howard checked in second only to Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman in receptions for the afternoon, and the third-year tight end actually paced the team in targets. Howard now has 13 receptions over his last three games, as he's enjoying a steady role that's now poised to grow further if Godwin is forced to miss the Week 16 game against the Texans.

Second consecutive strong game
Howard secured four of five targets for 73 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Howard was second only to Chris Godwin in receiving yardage, with the tight end's tally his highest of the season. The athletic third-year pro may finally be hitting his stride in coach Bruce Arians' offense, as he's now brought in nine of 11 targets for 134 yards over the last two games combined. Howard could be in for extra volume moving forward if Mike Evans (hamstring) is out for any amount of time, which seems highly likely.

Comes to life in Week 13 win
Howard secured five of six targets for 61 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Howard co-led the Buccaneers in receptions with another unlikely candidate in Breshad Perriman, setting a new season high in catches in the process. The third-year tight end was coming off a two-game, Week 11-12 stretch during which he'd managed just one reception (on three targets) for 10 yards, so Sunday's surge was surprising to say the least. Howard hasn't really been able to piece together consecutive above-average performances yet this season, an unfavorable trend he'll look to avoid Week…read more

Another forgettable performance
Howard brought in one of two targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: The final line was an all-too-familiar theme for Howard and his fantasy managers, with the third-year tight end recording his third game with one or zero catches on the campaign. Howard offered a glimmer of hope two games ago versus the Cardinals with a 4-47-1 line, but the subsequent pair of contests have essentially served to negate any momentum he may have briefly generated. Given how late it is into the season, there have to be serious doubts about coach Bruce Arians' willingness to…read more

Causes interception on only target
Howard failed to haul in his only target in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Saints, instead tipping it into the air, resulting in a New Orleans interception.
Analysis: Coming off an encouraging 4-47-1 line Week 10, Howard greatly underwhelmed in the division loss and was directly responsible for the first of Jameis Winston's four interceptions. Howard appeared to have secured a short pass at the Buccaneers' 17-yard line before somehow causing it to become airborne and landing into in the waiting arms of Saints linebacker Demario Davis to set New Orleans up with excellent field position. Howard's disappointing season is seemingly a microcosm of the team's as a…read more

Gets into end zone Week 10
Howard brought in four of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: The high-upside but frequently underwhelming tight end enjoyed one of his better performances of the season, scoring his first touchdown of the campaign and also recording a 26-yard grab that served as his second longest of the campaign. Howard's seven targets marked a new high-water mark for him in 2019 as well, and perhaps this performance will serve as a launching pad for better production down the stretch. Howard will look to build on Sunday's effort versus the Saints in a Week 11 NFC South…read more

Ready to play
Howard is cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Howard averaged three targets and 2.2 catches over the first six weeks of the season, before missing the past two games with a hamstring injury. The workload concerns are still present, but he has a nice setup for Week 10 efficiency against a Cardinals defense that's given up a league-high 810 yards and nine touchdowns to tight ends.

Practices without limitations
Howard (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Howard missed Tampa Bay's last two contests due to a lingering hamstring issue, but his full workout Wednesday should clear the way for him to play Sunday against the Cardinals. The 24-year-old hasn't been a strong fantasy option this season -- he's been held without a touchdown and has logged just one game above 50 receiving yards on the year -- but matchups with Arizona have proven highly favorable for tight ends throughout 2019.

Expected back in Week 10
Coach Bruce Arians relayed that Howard (hamstring) should be back in action this coming Sunday against the Cardinals, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Howard's looming return comes at an opportune juncture, with fellow tight end Antony Auclair having suffered a toe injury in Week 9 action. With just 13 catches (on 18 targets) for 176 yards in six games to date, Howard has been a fantasy disappointment, but with the Bucs currently on a four-game slide, perhaps the team's coaching staff will make an effort to get the 2017 first-rounder more involved in the passing game in the weeks ahead.

Ruled out for Seattle matchup
Howard (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Speaking to the media Friday, coach Bruce Arians said Howard is the only player he's ready to rule out for Sunday. The tight end will miss a second straight game, leaving extra snaps for Cameron Brate (ribs), Antony Auclair and Tanner Hudson, though Brate also is battling an injury. Howard's continued absence from practice casts doubt on his availability for Week 10 against the Cardinals.

Likely out again this week
Howard (hamstring) worked out on the side at Friday's practice and is unlikely to play Sunday against the Seahawks, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Howard didn't take part in the Buccaneers' first two practice sessions of the week, and it's looking like he won't get in any work Friday, either. With Howard tracking toward a second straight absence in Week 9, Cameron Brate (ribs) -- if healthy -- would be the top candidate for another start at tight end.

Spectator for practice
Howard (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With back-to-back absences at practices to begin Week 9, Howard is in grave danger of missing a second straight game Sunday in Seattle. Cameron Brate (ribs), who stepped in for Howard as the Buccaneers' starting tight end in Week 8 against the Titans, was limited in Thursday's session, but that still puts Brate in a good spot to play this weekend.

Can't practice Wednesday
Howard (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Howard sat out Sunday's loss to the Titans and has now missed three consecutive practices. While he wasn't able to log any on-field work with his healthy teammates, the third-year tight end was seen running off to the side, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Howard will have two more opportunities to up his level of participation in practice before this weekend's tilt with Seattle.

Won't play against Titans
Howard (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Tennessee, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Howard closed out the week with back-to-back absences. Cameron Brate will operate as Tampa's primary pass-catching tight end Sunday against the Titans, with Anthony Auclair and Tanner Hudson also candidates to take on some of the vacated snaps. Howard is averaging 56.2 snaps and 3.0 targets per game.

Apparently not practicing
Howard (hamstring) did not appear to take part in Friday's practice, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Misses practice
Howard (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Given that Howard was a limited participant Wednesday in the Buccaneers' first practice session of Week 8, the fact that he took a step back a day later is somewhat discouraging. The tight end will have one last opportunity to prove his health at Friday's practice before the Buccaneers decide on his status for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Nursing hamstring issue
Howard was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Howard is coming off Tampa Bay's bye week, and the origin of his hamstring issue remains uncertain. The third-year tight end appears to have a shot to suit up against the Titans on Sunday, and he'll have two more opportunities to practice this week. Howard has accumulated just 13 catches for 176 yards without a touchdown through six games this season, making him a risky fantasy option against Tennessee's stout defense.

Not available for trade
The Patriots reportedly looked into making a deal for Howard, but the Buccaneers indicated that the tight end is not available, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.
Analysis: With Matt LaCosse (knee) and Ryan Izzo (concussion) both out this week, the Patriots' tight end corps Monday night against the Jets will feature Ben Watson and Eric Tomlinson, neither of whom has played a regular-season snap for the team this season. It's therefore not surprising that New England is interested in an upgrade at the position in advance of the NFL trade deadline.

Limited to two catches
Howard secured two of four targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 37-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Howard's yardage tally, modest as it was, qualified as his second highest of the season, a testament to how underwhelming his production has been. The third-year tight end's day could have been appreciably better from a fantasy perspective had he gotten into the end zone on a 30-yard reception early in the second quarter, but Howard was tackled at the Panthers' five-yard line, and Ronald Jones went in for a score on the next play.

Another disappointing performance
Howard secured one of two targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-24 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Howard's uninspired stat line tells the story and serves a microcosm of most of his season thus far. The promising third-year pro has seen his yardage totals drop over that of the previous game in each of the last two weeks, an unfavorable trend that's also applied to his targets over that span. Howard was far from the only Buccaneers pass catcher to disappoint Sunday, but in his case, the muted production has been a worrisome season-long trend.

Modest production again
Howard secured all three of his targets for 33 yards in the Buccaneers' 55-40 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Another week, another quiet game for Howard, who's yet to top four catches or 66 receiving yards this season. The third-year tight end also has been kept out of the end zone thus far in 2019, so fantasy managers who invested solid draft capital have to be bristling at his middling production, especially in a game during which the Buccaneers scored a franchise-record 55 points.

Bounces back in Week 3 loss
Howard secured three of four targets for 66 yards in the Buccaneers' 32-31 loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Howard bounced back nicely from a complete blanking on the stat sheet in Week 2 versus the Panthers, logging a season-high 30-yard reception and his best receiving yardage tally over the first three games of the season. While the fact Howard saw only four targets Sunday is somewhat concerning, it's important to keep that general scarcity of looks in perspective. The pass distribution was extremely top-heavy for the Buccaneers on Sunday, with Mike Evans leading the way with 15 targets and no…read more

Blanked in Week 2 win
Howard played 60 snaps in Thursday's 20-14 win over the Panthers but was not targeted.
Analysis: The first two games of Howard's 2019 season have to qualify as one of the bigger fantasy disappointments of the young season, given how much buzz the athletic tight end had built up over the summer. Playing time certainly wasn't an issue Thursday, with Howard checking in behind only Chris Godwin in terms of snaps for the Buccaneers' skill-position players. In contrast, fellow tight end Cameron Brate logged just 18 snaps in the contest and yet saw a pair of looks from Jameis Winston during that…read more

Underwhelming line in opener
Howard brought in four of five targets for 32 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Howard fell victim to the general malaise with which the Buccaneers' passing attack was plagued Sunday, and he ended up being guilty of one of the team's five turnovers to boot. Howard did draw even with Dare Ogunbowale for the team lead in receptions, albeit with a modest total overall. The athletic tight end will look to do his part to help the offense atone for its disappointing performance in a Thursday night Week 2 tilt versus the Panthers.

Logs one catch in win
Howard brought in one of two targets for four yards in the Buccaneers' 13-12 preseason win over the Browns on Friday.
Analysis: Howard logged 35 snaps overall, but as his final line corroborates, he was minimally involved on the offensive end. Of overriding importance during Howard's quiet preseason is the fact he's looked fully recovered from last November's season-ending ankle and foot injuries, and he projects for a significant role in coach Bruce Arians' offense this regular season.

Howard caught one of his two targets for a 16-yard gain during Friday's 16-14 preseason win over Miami.
Analysis: Both of Howard's targets came during Tampa Bay's opening drive, the only one in which Jameis Winston appeared. The Buccaneers didn't feature their starters much Friday, setting up what should be a telling game against Cleveland next week.

Howard made multiple notable catches in Monday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports, and he's consistently impressed thus far in camp.
Analysis: The ultra-athletic tight end has been busy dispelling the notion that his position is largely a forgotten one in coach Bruce Arians' offenses, as he's being featured on a wide variety of routes during each practice. Monday, Vitali reports Howard brought down a catch in the back left corner of the end zone on a pass from Jameis Winston in a red-zone period, and he followed that up with a big gain down the left side later in the session on a throw off the arm of undrafted rookie Vincent…read more

Runs routes for Mahomes
Howard (ankle) was seen running routes for Patrick Mahomes in Fort Worth, Texas on Thursday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Both of Howard's first two seasons as a pro were cut short by injuries to his right ankle and/or foot, limiting him to 24 of a possible 32 appearances. With 16.6 yards per catch, 11.5 yards per target and an 18.3 percent touchdown rate (11 TDs on 60 receptions) in his career, he's been dynamic when on the field and now will be operating under new coach Bruce Arians. Assuming he can stay healthy in 2019, Howard is a breakout candidate by any measure.

Provides reason for optimism in '18
Howard (ankle) finished the 2018 season with 34 receptions (48 targets) for 565 yards and five touchdowns before being placed on injured reserve prior to Week 12.
Analysis: The second-year tight end was in the midst of one of his best performances of the season in Week 11 against the Giants (five receptions, 78 yards) before sustaining an ankle injury that ultimately landed him on injured reserve. Prior to the 2018 season, the Bucs had made a commitment to utilize Howard more as the downfield threat he'd proven to be in college, following a rookie 2017 campaign in which he was relied on heavily as an in-line blocker.

Howard (ankle) is still wearing a hard cast but expects to recover from his injury within 4-to-6 weeks, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While his own estimate needs to be taken with a grain of salt, Howard might have avoided injured reserve if the Buccaneers had still been in the playoff hunt. As is, he'll set his sights toward a full recovery before the start of the team's offseason program in April, hoping to build on a breakout 2018 campaign in which he produced 56.5 yards per game while averaging 16.6 per catch and 11.8 per target.

Howard (ankle) will not require surgery for his ankle and foot injuries that will force him to injured reserve, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Howard's 2018 season is over regardless of whether Howard needs surgery, but this at least bodes well in terms of the extent of rehab required to return to form. The second-year tight end had come into his own this season prior to the injury, racking up 34 catches for 565 yards and five touchdowns over 10 games. Without him available moving forward, Cameron Brate figures to slot in as the team's primary tight end.

The 24-year-old will finish the campaign on IR for the second time in as many years, providing a disappointing conclusion to what was shaping up to be a breakout season. The Buccaneers will look to Cameron Brate to serve as the primary replacement at tight end for Howard, who had recorded 34 receptions for 565 yards and five scores in 10 games.

Seeking second opinion on ankle
Howard (ankle) received good news Monday and is now getting a second opinion, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The decision to get another medical opinion usually hints at a significant injury, but Howard may just be exercising caution to confirm the initial optimistic diagnosis. He was removed in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Giants, finishing with five catches for 78 yards on six targets. An absence for Week 12 against the 49ers would leave Cameron Brate with a prominent role catching passes from reappointed starter Jameis Winston.

Howard (ankle) will be evaluated Monday after exiting Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Giants in the fourth quarter, Eduardo Encina of The Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Howard was deemed doubtful to return and never reentered the game, finishing with five catches for 78 yards on six targets. He suffered an MCL sprain back in Week 4 against the Bears, but a conveniently timed bye in Week 5 allowed him to avoid any absences from games. Howard won't have the extra rest this time around, as the Buccaneers host the 49ers on Sunday in Week 12. Cameron Brate could be looking at a three-down role if Howard doesn't play.

Hurts right ankle
Howard is doubtful to return to Sunday's road game against the Giants due to an ankle injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Howard was forced from the contest when he was tackled from behind on a fourth-quarter reception. Afterward, the Bucs' training staff tended to his lower right leg, which eventually was determined to be an ankle issue. Because he's unlikely to retake the field, Howard will end Week 11 with five catches (on six targets) for 78 yards.

Analysis: Howard had rightfully gained plenty of buzz in fantasy circles over the last four games, a stretch during which he'd logged 17 receptions (on 23 targets) for 250 yards and four touchdowns. However, he came back down to earth Sunday, seeing his lowest target share since Week 1.

Emergence continues in Week 9 loss
Howard brought in four of six targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 42-28 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Howard continues to flash impressive efficiency on a per-touch basis, as he's now scored on five occasions over a modest 28 receptions. Four of those touchdowns have come in the last four games, a span in which Howard has no fewer than four receptions on Sunday's 53 yards in any game, as well as a catch of at least 20 yards.
