2019 Fantasy Outlook
Heuerman posted career highs across the board last year, his third in the NFL, even though injuries limited him to 11 games. Playing 555 snaps, he saw 48 targets, though he was unable to show good metrics in terms of either catch percentage (63.3) or YPT (5.9). Heuerman is likely a sub-replacement level player, and he's unlikely to see as much work going forward if Jake Butt (knee), Troy Fumagalli and first-round pick Noah Fant are available.

Ties for team lead in targets
Heuerman caught three of five targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
It's predictable for a tight end to serve as his rookie quarterback's security blanket, but many fans predicted it'd be Noah Fant helping out Drew Lock in his first start. Instead it was Heuerman tying Courtland Sutton for the team lead with five targets despite playing on just 28 of 57 offensive snaps, 13 fewer than Fant. All three of Heuerman's catches converted a third down. Converting third-and-twos isn't the path to fantasy glory, but Lock's reliance on him is worth noting, especially given the dearth of reliable targets on the roster behind Sutton. Next up is a trip to Houston and a matchup against the Texans' 28th-ranked pass defense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2018
2017
2016
2015
The Broncos drafted Heuerman in the third round of the 2015 draft, convinced that the coaching staff could turn him into the receiver he never was in Ohio State's run-heavy attack. He promptly tore his ACL and now, three years and just 18 catches later, enters a contract year having proved little thus far. The good news is that Denver did not make any big plays for a tight end in free agency or the draft. The bad news is that 2017 draftee Jake Butt is turning some heads early in team activities. Heuerman is a willing blocker and has posted an impressive 15.7 yards per catch during his career, but it's fair to wonder why things will suddenly turn around now if they haven't already.
