Jacob Tamme caught three passes for 44 yards in Denver's Divisional Round loss to the Ravens. Tamme at one point prompted CBS' Dan Dierdorf to call him a receiver, but it was an otherwise quiet afternoon for Peyton Manning's preferred pass-catching tight end, as he drew just three targets. Tamme drew three looks or fewer in each of his final three games of the regular season, and despite the occasional six- seven-catch outburst, never really established himself as a consistent part of the Broncos' aerial attack this season. He's unlikely to rise above TE2 status in 2013.

Jacob Tamme caught just one pass for 13 yards in Denver's Week 17 blowout of the Chiefs. Tamme was targeted only three times in a game the Broncos controlled from the opening snap. Although Peyton Manning considers him a vital part of the Broncos offense, Tamme will finish 2012 with just five catches over his final four games. That doesn't take away from a solid overall line of 52/555/2, but does suggest Tamme won't be a huge part of the passing game as Manning goes for his second career Super Bowl victory.

Jacob Tamme played just 29-of-84 plays (34.5 percent) with Brandon Stokley back in the lineup for Week 14. It's par for the course with Tamme, whose playing time is often below 50 percent when Stokley (30 snaps) is healthy. Tamme and Joel Dreessen each ran 19 pass routes at Oakland. Consider Tamme just a low-end TE2 the rest of the way.

Jacob Tamme caught just two passes for 24 yards in Week 14 versus the Raiders. Tamme entered the day as a top-ten fantasy play at tight end due to the uncertainty surrounding Brandon Stokley, but with Stokley active all that intrigue dissipated. Fellow tight end Joel Dreessen out-produced Tamme and even received Peyton Manning's lone touchdown pass. Tamme shouldn't approach his 13-target Week 13 output again this season.

Jacob Tamme hauled in nine passes for 89 yards versus the Bucs in Week 13. Tamme was the primary beneficiary of Brandon Stokley's absence, as the Broncos run two tight-end sets on all three of their touchdown drives. Tamme was targeted a team-high 13 times compared to Joel Dreessen's two looks. Having topped 45 yards in three straight games, Tamme is on pace for a 63/599/3 stat line heading into Week 14 at Oakland.

Jacob Tamme caught four passes for 48 yards and a touchdown in Denver's Week 12 win over the Chiefs. Tamme's seven targets were his most since Week 5, while the touchdown was his first since Week 1. Averaging 3.5 catches, Tamme is a plug-and-play option if you ever run into injury issues at tight end, but isn't somebody you want to be relying on weekly.

Jacob Tamme caught four passes for 53 yards in the Broncos' Week 11 win over the Chargers. He was targeted five times. This was actually Tamme's yardage high on the season, which says a lot about his bust of a fantasy football campaign. Tamme hasn't found pay dirt since the opener and belongs on fantasy waiver wires.

Jacob Tamme managed just one catch for six yards at Carolina in Week 10. Tamme's four targets were tied with Eric Decker for fourth-most on the team. Joel Dreessen had two catches for 31 yards on three targets while run-blocker Virgil Green didn't see a single pass thrown his way. Tamme has reached 50 yards just once this season, and his role has been shrinking over the past month. He's eminently droppable in 12- and 14-team leagues.

Jacob Tamme (hip) is practicing in full this week. Just like last week. Averaging 3.7 catches for 33.6 yards, Tamme is an acceptable TE2.

Jacob Tamme caught three passes for 33 yards in Denver's Week 8 win over the Saints. Tamme is firmly ahead of Joel Dreessen as Peyton Manning's No. 1 tight end, but unlike his days in Indy, Manning isn't utilizing his tight ends as a key weapon in his offense. Demaryius Thomas seems to be drawing a lot of the intermediary targets Manning used to reserve for Dallas Clark. Always a threat for a 5-6 catch game, Tamme is a perfectly fine TE2/fill-in option, but he's not someone you want to be relying on as a starter.
