Scorcher Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I have seen him as high as 5 on rankings for several sites. Can somebody explain? Is it because of the Bengals QB situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpwallace49 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Athletic, lack of other options, TEs tend to be heavily relied upon by new QBs . . . .just a few ideas there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'd say it's a combo of the QB situation and the WR situation. Likely no proven WRs with a pretty raw QB. Still, 5 is laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I have seen him as high as 5 on rankings for several sites. Can somebody explain? Is it because of the Bengals QB situation? Probably. I guess a good example would be Ben Watson, who is of similar talent (Gresham probably has more, actually), and how he looked last season on a team with no real proven WR talent and a rookie QB at the helm. Watson was a top-10 fantasy TE in most scoring systems last year, which was kind of out of nowhere. Heck, Gresham was nearly top-15 last year. Having him ranked top-5 might be a bit optimistic, but top-10 is certainly not crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having him ranked top-5 might be a bit optimistic, but top-10 is certainly not crazy. This. He was a rookie with 52 catches 471 yards and 4 TDs. He was 15th in scoring in one of my leagues (ETA: TE scoring). Given the retirement, top 5 is probably overly optimistic but he's a heck of a player.

Scorcher Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 In some rankings he was rated over Finley which I guess can be attributed to durability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan827 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Jay Gruden (the Bengals new Off. Coordinator). Is sad to rely heavily on his TE's. I traded a hefty amount in my dynasty league for him this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polksalet Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 He's the most talented TE to come in the league since Gonzo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efi4eye Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I haven't seen Gresham ranked that highly anywhere. He is supposed to be one of the top TE prospects in years, but top 5 or even top 10 this year it's pretty optimistic. As a dynasty owner I hope it's true though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really though, when it comes to fantasy 'projections' or 'advice', if it's not from the huddle then it's not credible :brownsnose: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Cincinnati might be the worst offense in the league this year. I wouldn't touch any Cincy player with a 10 foot pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, they have been decimated! That's why I was so surprised at Gresham's rating.I'm sure I would pick Thomas Jones before Gresham!
