With Brady at QB, Dobson might break out.</p> </div> <div class="statsinfo"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <thead> <tr><th colspan="2">Stats</th><th colspan="7">Receiving</th></tr> <tr><th>YEAR</th><th>G</th><th>REC</th><th>YD</th><th>YPC</th><th>20+</th><th>100-YD G</th><th>TD</th><th>TGT</th></tr> </thead> <tbody><tr><td>2010*</td><td>11</td><td>44</td><td>689</td><td>15.7</td><td>--</td><td>2</td><td>5</td><td>--</td></tr><tr><td>2011*</td><td>13</td><td>49</td><td>668</td><td>13.6</td><td>--</td><td>2</td><td>12</td><td>--</td></tr><tr><td>2012*</td><td>10</td><td>57</td><td>679</td><td>11.9</td><td>--</td><td>1</td><td>3</td><td>--</td></tr></tbody> </table> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <thead> <tr><th colspan="2">SI Projection</th><th colspan="7">Receiving</th></tr> <tr><th>YEAR</th><th>G</th><th>REC</th><th>YD</th><th>YPC</th><th>20+</th><th>100-YD G</th><th>TD</th><th>TGT</th></tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr><td>2013</td><td>14</td><td>54</td><td>635</td><td>11.8</td><td>8</td><td>2</td><td>6</td><td>70</td></tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </li> <li class="sortby_TE sortby_bengals sortby_AFC"> <div class="playerinfo"> <ol> <li class="sitiItem0"><div class="overallinfo sortbythis"><h6>Overall</h6>136<div><span>TE Rank</span>14</div></div><div class="positioninfo"><h6>TE Rank</h6>14<div><span>Overall</span>136</div></div></li> <li class="sitiItem1"><h6>Player</h6><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130806054327im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/4.0/global/football/nfl/players/23996_small.jpg" alt="Jermaine Gresham" title="Jermaine Gresham"/>Jermaine <span>Gresham</span></li> <li class="sitiItem2"><h6>Position</h6>TE</li> <li class="sitiItem3"><h6>Team</h6><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130806054327im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/4.0/global/football/nfl/logos/bengals_80.png" alt="Cincinnati Bengals" title="Cincinnati Bengals"/></li> <li class="sitiItem4"><h6>Age</h6>25</li> </ol> </div> <div class="fantasyinfo"> <ol> <li class="sitiItem0"><strong>TIER</strong>4</li> <li class="sitiItem1"><strong>AUCTION</strong>$1</li> <li class="sitiItem2"><strong>BYE WEEK</strong>12</li> </ol> <p>Gresham has steadily upped his receptions and yards each of the past three seasons and would be considered an emerging star if he didn't struggle with dropped passes.

He will serve as Doug Martin's backup and fantasy handcuff in Tampa Bay, but he won't be good for much more than a fewer short-yardage scores.</p> </div> <div class="statsinfo"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <thead> <tr><th colspan="2">Stats</th><th colspan="4">Rushing</th><th colspan="4">Receiving</th></tr> <tr><th>YEAR</th><th>G</th><th>ATT</th><th>YD</th><th>100-TD G</th><th>TD</th><th>REC</th><th>YD</th><th>TD</th><th>TGT</th></tr> </thead> <tbody><tr><td>2010</td><td>16</td><td>270</td><td>1,177</td><td>5</td><td>11</td><td>61</td><td>477</td><td>2</td><td>77</td></tr><tr><td>2011</td><td>10</td><td>161</td><td>587</td><td>1</td><td>3</td><td>22</td><td>130</td><td>0</td><td>34</td></tr><tr><td>2012</td><td>13</td><td>85</td><td>309</td><td>1</td><td>1</td><td>10</td><td>62</td><td>0</td><td>14</td></tr></tbody> </table> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <thead> <tr><th colspan="2">SI Projection</th><th colspan="4">Rushing</th><th colspan="4">Receiving</th></tr> <tr><th>YEAR</th><th>G</th><th>ATT</th><th>YD</th><th>100-TD G</th><th>TD</th><th>REC</th><th>YD</th><th>TD</th><th>TGT</th></tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr><td>2013</td><td>12</td><td>95</td><td>335</td><td>0</td><td>1</td><td>13</td><td>80</td><td>4</td><td>50</td></tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </li> <li class="sortby_WR sortby_lions sortby_NFC"> <div class="playerinfo"> <ol> <li class="sitiItem0"><div class="overallinfo sortbythis"><h6>Overall</h6>194<div><span>WR Rank</span>65</div></div><div class="positioninfo"><h6>WR Rank</h6>65<div><span>Overall</span>194</div></div></li> <li class="sitiItem1"><h6>Player</h6><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130806054327im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/4.0/global/football/nfl/players/6407_small.jpg" alt="Nate Burleson" title="Nate Burleson"/>Nate <span>Burleson</span></li> <li class="sitiItem2"><h6>Position</h6>WR</li> <li class="sitiItem3"><h6>Team</h6><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130806054327im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/4.0/global/football/nfl/logos/lions_80.png" alt="Detroit Lions" title="Detroit Lions"/></li> <li class="sitiItem4"><h6>Age</h6>32</li> </ol> </div> <div class="fantasyinfo"> <ol> <li class="sitiItem0"><strong>TIER</strong>8</li> <li class="sitiItem1"><strong>AUCTION</strong>$0</li> <li class="sitiItem2"><strong>BYE WEEK</strong>9</li> </ol> <p>A broken leg ruined Burleson's season and contributed to Matthew Stafford's disappointing year.
