shutdown 40 Posted October 16, 2019 I keep seeing some trade rumors on Howard so I'm keeping him until then, but I'm going to throw a party the day I get to dump him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldtimer 84 Posted October 16, 2019 Not a huge deal, but I recently dropped Kyle Rudolph. I drafted him in my dynasty league his rookie season. It feels weird cutting a player, even one that is totally useless now, after being on my roster for so many years. Dead weight is dead weight though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I held onto OJ to cover Waller's bye and I'm going to hold on just a bit longer in case there's any truth to these rumors. With Seattle losing Dissly for the season, an OJ Howard trade makes a lot of sense and would boost his fantasy value a ton. Patriots and Texans would also be great options. Could be nothing but I've held this long so might as well hold until the deadline. Historically huge trades aren't made but we saw a ton at last year's deadline (Amari Cooper the obvious one) and have already seen a few this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was something I kept in mind when I kept seeing people signal this as the year where Howard steps solidly into the upper level of tier 2 tight ends, or even borderline tier 1.

shutdown 40 Posted October 16, 2019 I was willing to give Arians the benefit of the doubt to use his 3rd most talented player. But apparently he's not interested in that. Equally as problematic for Howard's production is that the he's the best blocker on the O-line. He get far more playing time than Brate but they run routes on a similar number of passing plays, meaning Howard is staying in to block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 404 Posted October 17, 2019 Tarik Cohen, I had a big hole at TE and had to drop him for Hunter Henry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 997 Posted October 17, 2019 I did not drop him but I finally traded hopkins and god I feel great. I felt like I HAD to run him out there each week. each week he was projected to score 20 plus. each week he sucked it up running short out routes while will fuller explodes. So happy to get that albatross off my team. what a waste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kilroy's trade history would suggest that Hopkins will go for 40 against the Colts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did the same myself last night. Hopefully Herndon can run and catch like the unicorn that Gase thinks he is. Someone dropped him last week while in a bye week bind. I spent $32/200 to hopefully fix my sad, pathetic TE position. (Graham being my other current option). This Rotoworld blurb from a week ago said Howard was dead last in blocking, which was strange to see: Buccaneers OC Byron Leftwich said O.J. Howard's "time is coming." But when? Howard has been among the year's biggest letdowns in fantasy, ranking 17th among tight ends in yards (141), 23rd in catches (11) and 26th in targets (14), all while garnering PFF's worst run-blocking grade out of 68 positional qualifiers. The 2017 first-rounder is still plenty talented, though obviously he's gone through some growing pains adjusting to Leftwich's new scheme. Maybe a second wind is coming, but at present, Howard is barely worth rostering, even at a sparse fantasy position. https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/12163/oj-howard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm holding for one more week in case he gets traded anywhere, but after that I'll dump him, but I think that if NE feels he could be an asset to them, then hes a better player than we are seeing in Tampa for whatever reason.

nobody 2,050 Posted October 25, 2019 MVS out of necessity with Thielen and Keenan Allen hurt, I literally ran out of wide receivers because I have so many runningbacks on my bench compensating for Saquon's injury and Montgomery being terrible. Latavious, Shady, Jordan Howard, and Jamaal Williams all made the cut over him. Our benches are pretty short... 12 team league with 13 roster spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
