The Facts:
So how does HC Bruce Arians view a tight end’s job responsibilities? The subject came up at the NFL Scouting Combine on Friday, and Arians made his stance clear. “The tight end for me, I’m old school. You’ve got to block first and catch passes,” Arians said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
There you have it. Housler was the Cardinals’ leading pass catcher among tight ends in 2013, hauling in 39 receptions for 454 yards and one TD in 13 games. He was targeted 57 times — about four times per contest. The Cardinals’ three most-targeted players in 2013 were all wide receivers: Larry Fitzgerald (134 targets), Michael Floyd (112), Andre Roberts (76). Despite the widely-held view that Housler is capable of more, sounds like Arians isn't as interested in the position as the rest of us.
