ANALYSIS
Sterling spent a bit more than a month with Kansas City after signing with the team in June. The 2015 seventh-round pick suited up for five games with the Jets last season, recording six catches for 47 yards. He'll look to compete for a depth role elsewhere in the league.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2017
2016
2015
Jacksonville has struggled to find consistent production at tight end in recent years, and Sterling was one of five players who saw action at the position last season. The departure of free agent bust Julius Thomas should free up snaps, though Sterling will have to compete with a number of other journeyman -- Ben Koyack, Alex Ellis, Caleb Bluiett -- for a spot on the roster behind veterans Marcedes Lewis and Mychal Rivera.
Sterling saw action in nine games last season, mostly as a special teams player. The 2015 seventh-round pick will attempt to crack the wide receiver depth chart in 2016, but he'll have trouble emerging as anything more than a fringe contributor given the team's considerable depth at the position.
The seventh-round pick out of FCS Monmouth College (NJ) has excellent size (6-4, 235) for the position, which makes him an intriguing candidate to make the final roster out of camp. However, Jacksonville’s receiving corps is stacked, especially on the outside, so if Sterling does make the team, he’s unlikely to see consistent playing time.
