kdko Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 With the TE position so thin, who is the next TE in line? I remember Kroft was pretty serviceable last year when Eifert went down, but certain people are speculating that Uzomah might be the guy to grab. What do you guys think?

El Jefe 92 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Until we see it play out, hard to say. As you said, Kroft was the man last year so it's most likely he'll be the more productive TE but Uzomah has been running more routes. Anyones guess at this point but I'd still lean Kroft.

notamomo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 C.J. Uzomah - TE - Bengals ESPN Bengals reporter Katherine Terrell expects C.J. Uzomah to be Cincinnati's top tight end moving forward. It's been about one calendar year since we last had a blurb on Uzomah, but he's now stepping into a promising spot in the Bengals' offense as a catch-first tight end. Terrell believes Uzomah has moved ahead of Tyler Kroft on the depth chart. Uzomah caught his lone target for a six-yard gain last week and flashed a bit in 2016 with 25 catches for 234 yards and a score, making eight starts. With where tight end is at in fantasy, Uzomah is on the fringe of start-able. Source: Katherine Terrell on Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Target numbers the next couple games will tell us more. I'd probably look elsewhere if you need a TE immediately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wait until the next couple of games are over, you will be way too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After losing (and dropping) Greg Olsen and then losing OJ, I'm looking at: Uzomah Swain Gates Clay Heuermann and worse... Strange times at TE...

And I've got a stud TE so maybe I'm not as desperate. In my league which has 12 teams with 18 players each pickings are always pretty thin, but here are some options people had. I had Ertz and Ebron, same bye week, I was working several trade options this week, one owner approached me, and we made a deal. Another owner has Kelce and Reed, another Rudolph and McDonald, they might part with one. After trading Ebron I grabbed Greg Olsen who was a free agent, and should be back next week or the next, for sure by week 9 when I need him. Not sure why some other teams with TE need didn't consider it, maybe they were waiting. Other available TEs include Jesse James (just cut) and Gates. Seals-Jones, Goedert and Brate were signed off waivers. I love the Bengals passing game now, Dalton is my backup QB, I was trying to trade for Boyd. Their TE will have value, in my view we don't have much to go on to know who is the clear leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
