donhaas 18 Posted October 16, 2011 He's 5th overall TEs.... tiny percentage points from 4th... His projections by everybody was 4th or 5th going into the season....

I have watched Finley, he does not get separation and when they line him outside they don't even plan to throw at him, he is drawing coverage WTF are you talking about? He can't be covered one-on-one.... he gets all kinds of separation but they are doubling him... When they double him, Rodgers makes them pay... (See Rodgers 9TDs in the last 6 quarters).... When they don't double him, he dominates (See Chicago "fluke " 3TD game) This is all very simple... Not too many TEs I'd rather have them him right now...

I don't believe that for a second. Why is it any other decent playmaker can beat a double team but not fatso ?

If he never had the fluke 3 TD game would you agree with the Finley bashers? He is a one week wonder. Sorry. And 1100 yard pace would get you 6.8 pts per game (sorry I can''t factor in the TDs into a projection because it was totally a fluke). Just admit it, I did, he is drastically overrated.

Gepetto 991 Posted October 16, 2011 His three touchdown game was not a fluke. That single handedly won many fantasy games that week for teams with Finley. His other games, especially in ppr have been fine. Lots of tight ends get you 1 point a few weeks. Finley's bad weeks are 8-10 points in ppr. He's going to score more touchdowns as the season goes on to go along with catches and yards. Very few tight ends will get you 3 touchdowns and a win and he's already done it in only 5 games.

Buttmonkey 8 Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks for the PPR report. Great he won one game for you. What did he do today? Last week..... I think you just need to draft better. If your team is dependent on the TE position going off - you probably have a lot more problems fantasy wise then Finley. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

browns16-0 30 Posted October 17, 2011 Wish I played in your league. Why is that? Because the Petttigrew owner just dropped Davis after 2 poor weeks, and before the news about Cooley's injury? Or because you think I am an idiot for considering dropping Finley? Sorry, but 8.3, 11.8, 33.5, 5.8, 10.7, and 3.0 is not good enough for me. One awesome week and 5 avg/poor weeks does not excite me. I would rather have consistency week in and week out rather than a 1 out of 6 chance of performing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would rather have consistency week in and week out rather than a 1 out of 6 chance of performing. You gotta be kidding... what kind of consistency do you want out of a TE. Im usually satisfied getting at least 6 points out of my TE.. anything more is just a bonus. You are seriously complaining about a TE that other than week 3 is averaging 8 points a game with the upside of that monster 20-30 point game. And even worse you are considering dropping him vs getting some value back from your likely 4th round pick. I guess thats why I never take a TE so high.. I can keep my expectations on the position relatively low instead of needing WR2 numbers to survive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you guys beiotch when the weatherman predicts 78 degrees and it ends up being 77, too?? 5th overall with one obviously FLUKE game. Finley and Gronk will be the two biggest pieces of steaming sh!t the rest of the way. Totally worthless for the same reason: They are on teams with 73 different guys who can get passes thrown their way. Fantasy football used to be so much easier. Stoopid committee crap.

FeelingMN 273 Posted October 17, 2011 He sucks. GB is becoming like the Saints. YOu can't trust anyone but Rodgers. Finley is on my bench in favor of Jimmy Graham for the rest of the year. Greg Jennings is going to be on it in favor of Victor Cruz if he doesn't shape up What are you b!tching about? You benched a bonafide stud TE who's on pace to shatter records at the position. Blame Finley all you want, but the reason you suck at FF is...well...you. And Jennings had 82 yards yesterday. Cruz....12. Also, according to ESPN, STL was the stingiest D against TE. Y'all really expected WR2 numbers this weekend? Bench him....I don't care. But you'll miss out on a 70 yard and a TD performance next week on MNF. He'll eat the Vikings up next week.

Houston Texans 10 Posted October 17, 2011 53, 68, 85, 28, 57 {67, not 57} & 20.... the 85 was the Chicago game... How is that non-existent? That's 5 points, 6 points, 26 points, 2 points, 6 points, & 2 points in a 1/10, non-PPR league. While that's not non-existent, it doesn't match the hype this guy gets. He is "on pace" for about 850 yards and 8 TDs (assuming he can duplicate his performance from week 3). He isn't the top TE, and next year if Gates is healthy (BIG if) and Manning is back, he isn't top-5, IMO. He hasn't done anything to live up to the hype he gets.

donhaas 18 Posted October 17, 2011 And Jennings had 82 yards yesterday. Cruz....12. He had a long pass bounce right off his hands for Rodgers' only INT, too... Should have caught that... The point is that despite the many weapons, Jennings always gets the targets.... and he will get points.... especially if defenses key on Finley and leave him with less coverage There's just a ton of dumb people here.

No....as a Finley owner....as someone who drafted Finley as the #1 TE....I think you're absolutely right. But.....I just don't get why folks b!tch about players. I mean, I don't b!tch about Finley....it was my decision to draft him, so either I'm gullible and bought into the hype and shouldn't have. Or I should have traded him after his week 3 explosion. Whatever the case, I'm more pissed with myself than with Finley. Just don't understand why people b!tch instead of trying to understand the reason for the lack of production....because it seems like if you actually tried to understand that, you might avoid making similar mistakes in the future. I get it, people need to vent. But if you're seriously contemplating dropping Finley....you're a noob. There's just a ton of dumb people here.

da_mane_man 1 Posted October 17, 2011 *sigh* what am i supposed to do with this guy?!?!? he was going to revolutionize the TE position this year if he stayed healthy... his words, not mine. i KNOW other teams aren't solely focusing on him when they play GB. rodgers has proven he can spread it around to ANYBODY that's open. if there's one guy to take away on that team it's jennings. he can burn you deep. at least finley can get caught in the middle of the field. i think the real problem is that GB has too many weapons. unless somebody gets hurt, it's going to be like this all season. not worth the early pick you had to spend on him.

Arsenal 3 Posted October 17, 2011 This thread cracks me up. People seriously drafted Finley as the #1 overall TE based on his own smack talk? Lol, I love the guy, and he is a piece of work but he has a huge head and anyone that has watched a Packers game over the past couple years should quickly realize that there is no way Finely will ever put up consistent numbers. He'll have his break out games - and I would guess he has a few more monster games this season, but the Pack is more than happy to have him double teamed and running as a decoy in order to open up the rest of their offense. Rodgers will never force feed him the ball all game long, he has too many other matchups to exploit when the defense decides to take away Finley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
