Robert Tonyan - Page 9 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Tamed by Bengals Tonyan was targeted twice and caught one pass for eight yards in Sunday's 25-22 victory over the Bengals.

Impact This type of line has become the norm for Tonyan, who has been limited to eight receiving yards or fewer in four of his five appearances this season. It does not appear that Week 6 will be when he gets on track, as he and the Packers will take on a Bears defense that has contained Darren Waller and T.J. Hockenson over the past two weeks and has allowed just one touchdown to tight ends this season.

Another quiet appearance Tonyan was targeted a season-high seven times but caught only two passes for eight yards in Sunday's 27-17 victory over the Steelers.

Impact Tonyan saw some extra passes in his direction with wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) sidelined and nearly matched his target total from Weeks 1-3 combined, but he still finished with a single digit in the yardage column for the third time this season. Tonyan was on the field for 78 percent of the plays the Packers' offense ran in Week 4, so he's getting his fair share of work. However, he's simply not producing enough to be locked into fantasy lineups at the moment, and he could have a tough time getting on track in Week 5 against a Bengals team that has done a good job containing tight ends.

Packers' rally against 49ers reveals their reliance on Adams

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • Associated Press

Just one catch in win Tonyan caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 30-28 win over the 49ers.

Impact Tonyan crashed back down to earth after busting out 52 yards and a touchdown last week against the Lions. Aaron Rodgers relied almost primarily on star wideout Davante Adams, and the duo led Green Bay to victory. Tonyan's fantasy value last season stemmed from his ability to find the end zone (11 touchdowns), but with just one score and 66 total yards through three contests, fantasy managers may start looking for other answers at tight end.

Scores in Monday's win Tonyan caught all three of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 35-17 win over the Lions.

Impact Tonyan started his performance with a 19-yard gain on a screen pass. He later gave the Packers the lead as the beneficiary of a 22-yard laser from Aaron Rodgers, scoring a touchdown down the seam. With a couple forced coverage penalties and another screen-pass gain afterward, Tonyan turned in a display reminiscent of his breakout 2020 campaign, giving him good momentum ahead of Week 3's trip to San Francisco.

Quiet in season opener Tonyan was targeted four times and caught two passes for eight yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints.

Impact Tonyan was the clear-cut top tight end for the Packers in Week 1, but he saw only a few passes thrown his direction, and with his team pulling the bulk of its starters early, he was on the field for only 49 percent of offensive plays. He did a lot of damage in the red zone last season, but the Packers rarely crossed midfield Sunday, which further limited his opportunities. Some fantasy players may cut ties with Tonyan after his Week 1 dud, but don't forget he scored 11 touchdowns over 15 games after being shut out in last season's opener.

AUGUST 19, 2021 • PACKERS.COM

Draws rave reviews from TE coach Tonyan drew rave reviews from Packers tight ends coach Justin Outten on Sunday, with the coach stating his belief that Tonyan "has not reached his ceiling yet."

Impact Tonyan did not see action in the Packers' preseason opener, but that was not due to any sort of injury and rather the fact he has established himself as the top tight end in Green Bay. After a breakout 2020 campaign, Tonyan continued making strides over the offseason, with Outten noting, "What (Tonyan) does outside the building has really jumped off. You can progress (in camp), but you have to be able to do it outside this this building, and he's really taken care of his body, the mental aspect of it, the gymnastics of the playbook and being utilized a little bit more." It will be tough for Tonyan to match the 11 touchdowns he scored last year, but regardless, he will remain a key piece of the Packers' offense in 2021.
