Tamme (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, the Broncos' official site reports.
With Julius Thomas probable for the contest, Tamme's Week 15 status is of more significance to the Broncos' depth at tight end than it is to fantasy owners.

With Julius Thomas poised to be a contributor in the Broncos' Week 15 offense, Tamme's status for Sunday's game against the Chargers is of more import to the Broncos' depth at tight end than it is to fantasy owners.

Tamme (ribs) had one catch on one target for 10 yards during Sunday's win over the Bills.
Starting tight end Julius Thomas was active for the game, but he was unable get off the sideline due to his ankle injury. Unfortunately, Tamme failed to take advantage, catching only one pass for the third consecutive game. At this point, he's just too unreliable in nearly any fantasy league, even with a hobbled Thomas.

Tamme (ribs) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
As is Julius Thomas, which limits Tamme's fantasy upside Sunday, in any case.

Tamme (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Bills.
The 29-year-old remained limited in Friday's practice, leaving his availability for Week 14 uncertain. Starter Julius Thomas (ankle) is questionable as well, but even if Tamme is active and Thomas is forced to sit again, Tamme will make for a low-upside option. He's been targeted just three times in the last two weeks and hasn't exceeded 31 yards all season. If both Tamme and Thomas sit, Virgil Green would be in line for the start.

Tamme (ribs) did not practice Thursday, ESPN's Jeff Legwold reports.
Tamme's Week 14 status thus remains cloudy, though fortunately for the Broncos, fellow TE Julius Thomas appears to be trending in the right direction in advance of Sunday's game against the Bills.

Tamme (undisclosed issue) did not practice Wednesday, the Broncos' official site reports.
With back-to-back one-catch efforts, Tamme is off the fantasy radar, but his status is of some import for the Broncos depth-wise, with fellow TE Julius Thomas dealing with an ankle injury.

Tamme caught 1-of-2 targets for four yards in Sunday's 29-16 win over the Chiefs.
The target Tamme didn't catch was a dropped touchdown, and he otherwise had little impact. While the Broncos' run-heavy gameplan was a factor in the tight end's poor showing, Tamme also didn't do much in Week 12 against the Dolphins. With Julius Thomas (ankle) seemingly on track to return for Week 14 or 15, Tamme may have missed his opportunity to make an impact.

Tamme had one catch on one target for minus-1 yard Sunday against the Dolphins.
Expected to see more passes thrown his way with Julius Thomas out with an ankle injury, Tamme was used primarily as a blocker and posted his ninth game this season with fewer than two catches. Tamme is the ultimate fantasy dart, and he isn't hitting many bullseyes.

Tamme had four catches on 10 targets for 31 yards Sunday against the Rams.
Tamme saw a big increase in playing time Sunday after Julius Thomas was knocked out of the game with an ankle injury, and he figures to play a decent role in the passing game if Thomas is unable to play in Week 12 against the Dolphins. However, the Dolphins are ranked second in the league against the pass this season thanks to their excellent pass rush, so Tamme may be needed on the line to block, which would limit his opportunities for catches.

Tamme had one catch on a season-high five targets for 10 yards Sunday against the Patriots.
Tamme continues to be used mostly as a blocker and on special teams, and while he was able to get a season-high five passes thrown his way, he's still a very limited fantasy option even in the deepest of leagues.

Tamme didn't get a single ball thrown his way during Sunday's 31-17 win over the Jets.
Starting tight end Julius Thomas finished with four catches on six targets for 51 yards and two touchdowns, leaving Tamme to pick up some blocks and work on special teams. While Tamme has two touchdowns this year, he's just not on the field enough to warrant much fantasy consideration in most leagues.

Tamme caught the only pass thrown his way for 17 yards Sunday against the Cardinals.
Tamme's two-game touchdown streak comes to an end, an unlikely streak at that given that he only caught three passes for 26 yards over that span. He is a fair distance behind Julius Thomas on the depth chart and will continue to see most of his work as a non-returner on special teams, which keeps him very limited in most fantasy formats.

Tamme had two catches on three targets for 22 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Seahawks.
Tamme had one catch for minus-four yards before catching a 26-yard touchdown pass with 18 seconds left to bring the Broncos within two (Peyton Manning would connect with Demaryius Thomas on the two-point conversion to force overtime). Tamme has now scored in back-to-back games, but he's only been targeted four times in that span while racking up 26 yards, which shows his inconsistency and minimal fantasy value in most leagues.

Tamme caught the only ball thrown his way Sunday against the Chiefs, but it was good enough for a four-yard touchdown.
Tamme has primarily played on special teams this season, but the Broncos like to use him in a number of different spots, which included being the second tight end in a two-TE set near the goal-line in the second quarter that resulted in his touchdown. With Julius Thomas dominating the looks from the TE spot, Tamme remains a very limited fantasy option.

Tamme is expected to be the personal protector on the punt team in Week 2 against the Chiefs if David Bruton (shoulder) is unable to play, ESPN.com reports.
Despite talk of getting added snaps out of the slot with Wes Welker suspended, Tamme spent a majority of Sunday's game against the Colts on the sideline, while accumulating one tackle on special teams. Even if he does see a more reps with the first team, there are just too many better options at quarterback Peyton Manning's disposal to rely on Tamme for much fantasy production.

Tamme could split time in the slot with wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders in place of Wes Welker, who is suspended for the first four games of the regular season, the Denver Post reports.
Tamme has plenty of experience out of the slot, so it would be a somewhat natural fit to plug him in there. He is a very capable receiver but fell behind Julius Thomas on the depth chart last season, which severely limited his fantasy potential. Even if he does get a few more reps at the beginning of this season, his value will take a hit as soon as Welker returns.

Tamme could get more reps in the slot with Wes Welker potentially missing time with a concussion, according to ESPN.com.
Tamme has become a forgotten man in Denver thanks to the emergence of Julius Thomas last season, but he's still a capable receiver who has played in the slot before. Despite the increased playing time, his fantasy value is still quite limited.
Sun Feb 2 201422:43Tamme held to 2 catches for 9 yards
Jacob Tamme caught two passes for nine yards in Denver Super Bowl 48 loss.
A second-quarter tight end screen to Tamme lost two yards when Seahawks NT Brandon Mebane ran him down in Denver's backfield. He did tack on an 11-yard reception in garbage time. Tamme turns 29 in March, and the Broncos may deem his $3 million base salary too pricey with Julius Thomas having emerged. Tamme would generate limited free agent interest if released.

Sun Jan 19 201418:25Jacob Tamme goes for 24 yards, touchdown
Jacob Tamme caught two passes for 24 yards and a touchdown in Denver's AFC title game win over New England.
Tamme hauled in the first touchdown of the game on quick rollout by Peyton Manning from one yard out. Tamme only scored one TD all regular season. He'll continue to be a limited-snap tight end in the Super Bowl.
