TE problems

Recommended Posts

Drafted Fleener but he sucks & is losing snaps now that Hill is back. Picked up Ebron couple weeks ago but he's on bye this week. Got zero confidence in Fleener vs Broncos & I desperately need a win.

 

Drop Fleener to pick up Ertz?

Wow this is a great question.

 

I would try Ertz.

 

Thanks for the post.

I have both, and the answer is yes.

 

Fleener's snaps have been declining, and he's also losing TE touches to Josh Hill. Not sure how confident Brees is in Fleener anymore.

 

Ertz is a sneaky start against the Falcons; Atlanta has given up 6 TDs to TEs this season.

who else is available?

 

Maybe if you list the top 6 or 7 Free agent TE's you may be able to sneak one out.

 

I seem to recall that Pitta may be a good pickup. He's up against a team that gets roasted by any TE that's not crappy. (and gives okay numbers to some TE's you barely heard of)

 

Pitta got 100 yards off that defense in week 2

Ertz

Brate

Kendricks

Tye

Henry

Thomas

 

Pitta isn't available. Not a lot to get excited about out there.

Kendricks seems consistent lately but I know nothing about him.

Kendricks seems to have developed a reasonable if unspectacular floor.

 

Brate more TD upside.

 

Tye and HH are in TE committees.

 

Eagles will run more this week.

 

I think Fleener is a muppet but Brees can make anyone look good at home.

 

I would meeny mo between Brate and Kendricks.

Off the new list.

 

I would agree and take Kendricks.

rolling with kendricks this week, and if he puts up another solid outing i'm dropping barnidge... too many mouths to feed for a bad QB in CLE... he's 6th on the team in targets and only has 3RZ targets all season... i doubt he turns it around with coleman back...

Exact same move I just made.

 

I dropped Barnidge and pick up Kendricks.

I chose Z Miller over That Pitta of Shiote and Kendricks, but Kendricks might not be bad either. And Ertz so Good this one time against the Falcons might not be, well, good.

All are better than Fleener.

Vernon Davis. He's getting run even with Reed back. The Skins heavily involve the TE. By design and necessity since Garçon and Djax have been poor and the deep balls aren't being thrown.

 

Plus, I can't believe I'm saying this but, Davis has looked great.

I know this, whatever TE I choose will proceed to do nothing.

Until I drop them.

Anyone else with TE problems taking a chance and starting Ladarius Green vs the Browns this week? :ninja:

 

Will Tye TE Giants is another name I might throw a dart at. I also like the Vernon Davis mention.

 

Due to the return of Gates and the injury to Hunter Henry, I've been forced to stream a TE every week with reasonable success.

 

CJ Fedora vs Lions :D

Austin Hooper vs Bucs :D

Dennis Pitta vs Browns :wall:

L. Green vs Browns :huh:

 

Unless you've had a top TE option this year, TE has been one massive headache. Even Gronk owners have been forced into streaming options (early on and now this week).

Julius is playing the Lions. He would be the pick if you buy the "Lions can't defend the TE". That is of course statistically proven. But I still think it is shaky.

 

Julius also happened to see a season high in targets last week (and this came despite an increase in snap count for blocking TE Ben Koyack). Add in that Darius Slay may return and induce Bortles to redirect some of his Robinson-targets elsewhere and you have a few reasons to give consideration to a Julius Thomas start this week.

maybe it's just me being over optimistic about a Steeler as a Steeler fan, but Ladarius Green got a good amount of targets for not very many plays. The Steelers are desperately in need of a playmaker, and Green fits the bill.
