Rest-of-Season Projections
Sees only 14 targets in 2016
Myers finished the 2016 season with just seven receptions (14 targets) for 59 yards and a touchdown in 16 games.
ANALYSIS
The veteran tight end, once thought to be an emerging pass-catching threat after totaling 126 receptions for 1,328 yards and eight touchdowns over the 2012-2013 seasons, has primarily been deployed as a blocker in his three Bucs campaigns. Myers' reception and yardage totals this past season were his lowest outside of his 2009 rookie year in Oakland, although he did record his first touchdown in a Tampa uniform in the opener against the Falcons. Now an unrestricted free agent and 31 years of age, Myers could well have played his last snap with the Bucs. Cameron Brate is the clear-cut offensive weapon at the position. Luke Stocker is younger and a better overall blocker. Undrafted rookie Alan Cross offers a similar skill set. Plus, promising prospect Tevin Westbrook, who's spent the last two years on the practice squad, has been signed to a futures contract and is expected to compete for a roster spot next summer. Myers could latch on a roster in need of some veteran tight end help, or in a less likely scenario, return to the Bucs on a veteran minimum-type deal.

Ryan Mathews had the most carries inside the 10-yard line in Week 1, and with a rookie quarterback under center, he could get plenty of red-zone work this season.
Brandin Cooks is the only wideout to score multiple touchdowns in Week 1, and RotoWire's Andrew Laird wonders if quarterbacks distributing their TD passes more evenly will make top-tier WRs less important.

2009
The veteran tight end's reception totals have dropped for three successive seasons, including his two with the Bucs. Myers appears to have peaked in a 79-catch season with the Raiders in 2012, and has served as nothing more than veteran insurance in his pair of campaigns with Tampa. Austin Seferian-Jenkins and the emerging Cameron Brate are superior pass catchers to Myers at this point in his career, and fellow veteran Luke Stocker's stellar blocking appears likely to earn him a roster spot once again. That very well could leave the 30-year-old on the outside looking in by summer's end, due to a diminishing and one-dimensional skill set.
