Jake Briningstool

Jake Briningstool could be poised for a minor breakout at a position of fantasy darkness. He had 25 catches for 285 yards and four touchdowns a season ago, numbers that don’t leap off the page but aren’t too shabby in fantasy circles where tight ends are hard to come by. Further, he was playing second fiddle to Davis Allen, who went for 39-443-5 a season ago. If paired together, that’s borderline elite tight end production. Briningstool isn’t going to absorb all that production and can’t be drafted as such. And it’s fair to question his opportunity. On one hand, Clemson lacks proven pass catchers outside of sophomore WR Antonio Williams. On the other hand, new offensive coordinator Garrett Riley’s scheme is much more wide receiver friendly, likely setting someone from that position to explode rather than Briningstool. All in all, the offense should be better as a unit, likely putting Briningstool in a spot for ample touchdown production, with 400 yards or better within reach. Read Past Outlooks
