The Facts: How do you follow up a career season in which you double up your previous touchdown total? Well, score some more. That's the mentality that Ebron is taking into his second year with the Colts after tallying 13 receiving TDs in 2018, which was good for second-most in the league and most among tight ends. Thirteen scores is apparently not enough for Ebron, who wants to chase the recently retired Rob Gronkowski's tight-end record of 17 touchdowns. "I believe Gronk still holds the record for most touchdowns, which is 17. So, if I want to do anything that is gonna be real spectacular or really good, I gotta go get 17," Ebron told reporters Tuesday.
Diehards Line:
Ebron enjoyed a career resurgence after being cut by the Detroit Lions in March 2018, but the tight end is out to prove his end-zone dominance and strong run of play last year was no one-year fluke. "If I go and get 17," he added, "I help my team win games. I did that, proved that and I feel like if I'm at my best, then I feel like this team will be at their best. ..." Adding to the urgency and significance of Ebron's 2019 season is the fact that it doubles a contract year for the 26-year-old tight end. Ebron is slated to make $7 million in 2019, the final season of a two-year deal signed with Indy in 2018. Touchdown production is something fantasy owners need to be cautious about; counting on some regression here seems like the wise approach.
