ST_Pete 3 Posted August 25, 2022 Thought I got a steal grabbing him in the 6th but the lack of information on this injury has me spooked. Is it just a tweaked hammy or something more significant? Regardless, I hate going into the season with any soft tissue injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,459 Posted August 25, 2022 You picked a te in the 6th round, oh no no no. Double digit rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 590 Posted August 25, 2022 yeah hes missed some time from what I understand. they have not ruled him out for week 1 yet, but if drafting him it may be in your best interest to grab another TE late in the draft just in case hes not ready to play week 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not guys I'll likely keep on the roster forever but I don't mind rolling them out for a week if I have to. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd argue its fair value for him. Last year he was going in the top 3 rounds. I think hes gonna have a good year. last year was ruined for him he had covid and he had a bit of an injury which disrupted his year. not to mention the offense was in turmoil from having lost their #1 WR to a drunk driving accident. I'm amazed the offense performed reasonably last year at all. Waller will be fine. you just need someone to cover week 1 and possibly 2 if he misses time due to this injury. it didnt sound like the team was overly concerned about it. but thats not a guarantee its a minor issue but its a reasonably fair indicator. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,459 Posted August 25, 2022 Pick up Engram or Hooper , and stream. But ones already committed a mistake, no tes before double digit rounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But ones already committed a mistake, no tes before double digit rounds there are exceptions to every rule. this guy was picked later than his ADP by over a full round. I dont think its a mistake. the only way he regrets this is if the guy is hurt for half the season or more. the move is fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, don’t pick a te until double digit rounds, it’s not fine if he’s not on the field. The OP said he has concern of an injury Waller currently has, others do to that’s why he drafted him in the 6th rounds, others smartly passed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 590 Posted August 25, 2022 in my auction most TE's that would go later than round 4 or 5 are going for less than 5 dollars. most likely 2 or 3 dollars. as compared to $1 for the 10th round guys you would pick. If I got waller for that price I'd gladly take the risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone24 1,814 Posted August 25, 2022 Waller in the sixth is actually some good value. That’s not the part that would concern me. It’s that they are not certain he’s going to be ready for week one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,459 Posted August 25, 2022 Best te value is the double digit rounds, the one dollar types, then stream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
