TE start help for week 8

Recommended Posts

Tough decision this week at TE. I am choosing between Colston and Heap. Both have same number of catches, name number of TDs, with Colston ahead on yards due to the longer routes he runs.

 

They also play each other, and both D's have been pretty good. Who would you start?

I'd go with Colston over Heap. I think Brees will look his way more against a tough Baltimore D because Horn will be covered all day.

First of all there is no way that your comissioner should let you line up Colston as a tight end. I think Yahoo leagues screwed the pooch on that one. Anyway, if you can start him there, do it. Although it is cheap.

I just looked into the stats very quickly, and you are right, very similar defenses, except N.O. has given up twice as many TD's through the air, so if you are looking for points from a TD, Heap might be the way to go. However, Colsten is almost certain to get more receptions (worth a lot in my league). I think I would gamble on Heap scoring this week.

I'm of the mind that if you are allowed to start Colston as a TE, you should pretty much do so at all times. In fact, I'd think about trading Heap -- he's hot, and you could probably get nice value for him.

 

Thanks for answering mine.

The only people who are whining are those who don't have Colston. I say play him all the time. Especially in PPR leagues. I've had both Colston and Heap all season and Colston has scored just as many, if not more points for me. I think Colston will get more looks. I'm sticking with him. It's almost a draw though.
