Gourdeau Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Lost Olsen and when it looked like I struck gold with Clay, down he goes.. get to choose from Ed Dickson Coby Fleener and ASJ , lucky me. Thanks to Watson and Hopkins still got the W but am I right in thinking , aside from those 2 injuries, this has been one of the most shallow TE pools in a long time ?

DMD Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The weekly scoring is also odd since the top TE's rarely are a top 5 ranked guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Steve_85 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Zach Ertz is the only TE to finish in the top 10 every week so far... that’s crazy... Kelce missed it 2 weeks and Gronk missed it 2 weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) I feel like it’s been like this for the last couple years. But yes it’s real, if I get 8-10 pts from the TE position I’m satisfied, which is sad Edit, I should have chosen my words better. I meant if I get 8-10 I consider that a big night from my TE spot. That’s the high end Edited October 10, 2017 by Finn5033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougsul Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 8-10 I only wish I get 2-3 D Walker had a 62td yesterday called back for a phantom pass interference call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) For years I refused to ever draft 2 tight ends. I have now started drafting 2 tight ends. In rounds 7-10, the tight end position provides the best value in the draft. The wide receivers and running backs available at that point are 3rd tier i.e. junk. But the tight ends available are tier 2 and sometimes even tier 1 e.g. Zach Ertz. The elite tight ends in the league have been getting injured more often than running backs. Maybe it is because they do not have the elusiveness to avoid big hits. Maybe it is because their big bodies put a lot of strain on their lower body. Whatever the reason, tight ends have been getting injured at a crazy high rate. By drafting 2 tight ends, you can be sure to have 1 that is healthy. If both of the tight ends are drafted in rounds 7-10, it isn't much draft capital being invested at the position. And if both tight ends are healthy and playing well, there is nothing wrong with starting an elite tight end at a flex spot.

NYpkBLUE22 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I drafted Brate with the 10th rd pick and feel like it's been a steal so far. 10 16 15 the last 3 games with Winston looking for him often in the red zone. TE's this year are so unpredictable, I'm happy to have decent to good payout from a thought to be "not top tier TE" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gourdeau Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Looking forward to this weeks waiver wire advice from Huddle cause I have no idea who to go with and have never had to stream TE, I grabbed ASJ last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismikayla Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Glad I didn't trade away Rudolph when I picked up Clay. It's almost not even worth picking up another tight end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most sites were high on him last year when similar issues arose. I grabbed him. Think I dropped him for a high school walk on a couple weeks later. Hope he's gained some skill and pans out for you this year. I have Reed in both leagues and I'm hoping the bye week gives him the time he needs to heal. But I'm losing faith. Clay was the backup in one league, Hunter in the other. I added Brate thankfully since Hunter's use is stupidly erratic. It's a shame because I think he should be an elite TE.

stethant Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I've also started drafting 2 TEs - only problem in my main league is they're Graham and Henry. Neither one has been doing poop but there were at least some signs of life this week. Getting 8-10 from the TE position would be a dream.

Gourdeau Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Zach Miller with some good looks tonight, might be worth a shot now with a competent QB vs Ravens next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpkrufus Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Dropped Brate after week 2, than dropped Henry & picked Brate back up in week 4 and he will stay there lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fastdoc Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Agreed on Miller. His stock just rose. Need to grab him off WW so the other guys can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oG1KeNoBi Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Yeah. With the loss of OBJ and some of my players on bye, I'm forced to start Jermaine Kearse in my flex. Highly considering starting Gronk at TE and Brate in my flex. Or if Reed doesn't play, picking up Davis and starting him in my flex. The TE position is weird this year. Some weeks it seems horrible, other weeks not so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Martellus Bennett is probably a good play this week. Had him in my 2 main leagues and finally cutting bait/dropping him so guaranteed to finally reach the end zone this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inziladun Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm planning on riding ASJ for the next couple weeks and hopefully selling high on him. I don't trust him as a player but in a crappy Jets offense playing catchup in every game he's a big target to throw to. Drafted Greg Olsen and traded for Witten a couple weeks in.

stevegrab Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Got lucky and drafted Ertz (best player on my team behind Stafford) and that has helped. More of a stash and wait suggestion,Browns rookie TE David Njoku has been pretty good, top 10 scoring in my league (no PPR), he's got 3 TDs so he's a good RZ target. There is a chance that the Browns bench Kizer and let Kevin Hogan start, he is playing more like an NFL QB and has been a spark in Njoku's play.

kdko Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Picked up Engram off waivers before week 1, after drafting Rudolph in the 8th. Engram's done much more this season, and Rudolph has been non-existant, so I dropped him this week. Of course Engram puts up a goose egg and Rudolph blows up. FML.
