RylenolFlu Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 So In my recent 10 man PPR league I pulled a couple wild triggers as far as TEs go. I took Randy McMichael in the 8th round and Marcus Pollard in the 15th round. My reasoning for McMichael was that he is the primary TE in a high scoring offense. With Bruce aging I feel McMichael could see 4-5 tds (if Jackson doesn't steal them all). In 2005 Hasselbeck probably threw over 55 passes to Jerramy Stevens, the tight end at the time for the Seahawks, and he caught 45 of them for over 450 yards and 5 touchdowns. Stevens probably would have had 7 tds had he not dropped some of them. I think Pollard is a better TE, he is faster with better hands and Hasselbeck loves throwing to the TE. I need to decide between dropping one of these guys in order to make room for Owen Daniels who I believe will have a huge year, a 2004 Jasson Witten type year. Anyway, I would like to know what you guys think, should I stick it out with Pollard and McMichael or drop one of them for Owens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I am concerned about the whole Seatlle offense this year ... I'd drop Pollard for Daniels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slambo Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I'd drop Pollard for Daniels. +1 definitely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Daniels is on the up side and appears to be a better target each year . Have him rated higher than both guys you selected ...would go with daniels for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RylenolFlu Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Thanks for the fast responses, I will attempt to make a point, if the Seattle offense performs at all don't you think it will be the TE that will reap the benefits from struggling WRs (absence of Darrell Jackson) If you guys could inform me on the potential reasons for offensive struggle on behalf of the Seahawks it would help alot. I just have a gut feeling about Pollard, but then again Daniels appears to be valuable as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I'd drop Pollard for Daniels as well although McMichael is still your best TE but Daniels is an upgrade over Pollard, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RylenolFlu Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Unless that TE is being used as an extra blocker But I mean isn't Pollard a catch first, block second, type TE. Ideally a TE should be both but I remember him with the Colts, from 2001 to 2004 he had 23 touchdowns and over 170 receptions and 2100 + yards. That is significant for fantasy. I don't know, I just have a gut feeling about Pollard. I feel good about Daniels in Texas, I have already submitted my request for him on waivers.
