DanTheMan_5 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Shannon Sharpe was AT BEST a competent position blocker and he's going to the HoF. Ya, and he's only the second best player in his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I like him in that offense so much that I let TE slide and buffed up my other positions before grabbing him as my starter. I don't see myself starting him 16 times but I like his week 1 matchup with Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Ya, and he's only the second best player in his family. He should have been the 2nd person from his family in the HoF, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same.. but Asante Samuels may be covering the TE spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling didn't have the longevity Shannon did, otherwise I would agree. He just didn't play long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Sterling didn't have the longevity Shannon did, otherwise I would agree. He just didn't play long enough. Led the league in receptions 3 times in a 7 yr career; 3 time All-Pro, and one of the years he DIDN'T make All-Pro he caught 94 passes and 18 tds. That should be enough.

darin3 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 too bad he can't tackle anyone And he's 5'10, buck-85... Kendricks goes 6'3", 240+... Not saying he's a great Week 1 start, but he's going to be a favorite target of Bradford's. It's already showing in preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalTapp Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Cook or Kendricks....who is better sleeper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I got J Graham and cook as my TE's and I may pick him up and try to trade Graham for a decent WR since my WR starters are Mike Williams- Jacoby Ford and Plaxico. I think a TE duo of Lance and Cook would do well. I had every intention of drafting Lance and when pick 8 came around and Graham was still there I jumped on him at the expense of a few good WR's. I should have grabbed a WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Cook.in my opinion. Not by much but definitively Cook. Cook or Kendricks....who is better sleeper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I was thinking the same.. but Asante Samuels may be covering the TE spot I'm fine with that. I've got Amendola as well! I was actually thinking of not playing Amendola this week because I figured he would draw Samuel, but I think Bradford is going to be working inside all night long and staying far far away from the outside where his matchups look awfully miserable.

It might have actually been Samuel in a zone in that short area... so whoever runs into his zone.. kendricks Or Danny ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
did_what_i_do Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I grabbed Kendricks in the second to last round. Cook and G.Olsen are still on bench. Being a Bears fan, Im fighting the urge to switch out Kendricks for Olsen with waivers clear tomorrow. thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteteacher2001 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'm a Rams homer and from day ONE, Kendricks has been in there with the 1st unit Offense. He will have top five fantasy TE numbers by the end of the season. Bank on it! He has just FLOWN by 1st team OLBers in the preseason and just made them look silly. He's the real deal.

did_what_i_do Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I think you need to doublecheck what team Greg Olsen plays for. Well... yeah... I know that Olsen plays for the panthers. My bad for not clarifying... Being a Bears fan, I'm familiar with Olsen and know he is a stud, who plays for Carolina. Now.... Olsen or Kendricks? new team or rookie?

Olsen is on a new team which is terrible and has a rookie QB who apparently can run but not throw. Kendricks is a rookie with arguabley the most talented QB to be drafted since Peyton Manning tossing him the ball, and apparently he is quickly becoming his favorite target. Remember what happened to Mark Clayton last year once Bradfor decided he likes tossing to him? Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 However 3 weeks ago nobody even knew who he was. Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I'd put even odds on Julius Thomas outproducing Kendricks - and I'm a Kendricks believer. Kendricks still has Uh-Oh on the roster where he'll lose some significant snaps, and McDaniels' O isn't exactly notorious for producing consistent FF TE scoring. STL also has improved and may be playing from ahead in games, which means they'll likely throw a bit less in the second half of a lot of those games. Thomas on the other hand has little competition at the TE spot in DEN and he has looked awfully good also. You also have a team that will have trouble getting out front of other teams, so they figure to be throwing more. Orton also will need an underneath safety valve, and Thomas looks like just the right guy to do it. No knock on Kendricks by any means, but I'm willing to bet you can get Thomas later in FF drafts and get similar or better, and more consistent. production for the season.
