Summary

Tight End Rank: #118
Overall: #741

Kleinsasser actually topped 100 yards for the first time since 2005. He had 17 receptions for 148 yards, giving him seven more catches than the previous season. Kleinsasser got a little more work last season. Even with that said, Kleinsasser isn't much of a factor in the passing game at this point of his career. He has fewer than double-digit receptions four of the last seven seasons. He remains a pretty valuable blocker, though, which will get him some playing time. His days of catching 46 passes are over.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

One touchdown the last seven seasons makes Kleinsasser more than a stretch for fantasy teams.
