Here's a breakdown of the opponents, week to week:Game Player Catches-yards-TDs1 Jason Witten, Cowboys 8-60-2Gavin Escobar, Cowboys 2-8-12 Jacob Tamme, Falcons 4-77-03 Jordan Reed, Redskins 6-96-04 Charles Clay, Bills 9-111-05 Garrett Celek, 49ers 3-26-16 Zach Ertz, Eagles 4-43-07 Jason Witten, Cowboys 6-73-08 Ben Watson, Saints 9-147-1The Bucs saw second-year tight end Cameron Brate get his first NFL touchdown last week on a 20-yard throw from Jameis Winston, and another tight end, Brandon Myers, knows the Giants well, having played for them in 2013.
