SoonerMagic25 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 So apparently I wasted a 6th round pick on this guy. My only other TE is Rudolph. The only decent TE on available is McDonald but both Howard and McDonald are on bye week 7. Drop one for McDonald? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotpimp Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It was a weird game where Tampa actually just game managed and didn't force the ball down the field. I don't see Tampa getting to continue to play like this I don't know what to think of this passing attack or Winston.. outside Godwin and Evens for fantasy it might be the new norm there.

Montana is da Man Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I'd keep Howard, I just think the Car defense did a good job on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good a receiver as Howard is, he's just as good a blocker... which sucks for us fantasy-wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerMagic25 Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Thanks guys..guess I'll throw him back out next week and see what happens, hopefully they will actually throw him a pass or two. Oh, and to top things off, my starting QB was Cam... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're an afterthought Not saying that you’re wrong or that arians is going to change his ways but I don’t believe he had anyone in AZ with nearly the talent as OJ. Maybe he’ll realize that and take some of the pressure off Godwin and funnel some of his targets to OJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefthawk Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I had hopes he would be a stud this year and I have him on both of my teams. Sadly, it looks to me like Howard is not going to be part of the offense in TB this year. I guess I should have known since Arians never used the TE in AZ. I'll be at least benching and/or dropping him in both my leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think since Arians has never had good TEs in all his HC and OC stints, he just doesn't figure them into the gameplans. Here are the past TE's Arians has had to work with going back to the Browns of 2001: :Heiden, Mark Campbell, Aaron Shea, Dwayne Allen, OJ Santiago , Rob Housler, John Carlsen... yukkkkkkkk Edited September 13, 2019 by JumpingJehosaphat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone else already said, OJ is being used more as a blocker (both pass- and run-blocking) out of necessity. TB was the 4th worst last season in QB Hits allowed and 4th worst in rushing yds generated so they can't run nor can they keep Winston from getting pummeled. Will it change? Only if the Oline improves somehow or if he decides to use OJ more as a WR. Edited September 13, 2019 by JumpingJehosaphat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
