Byrdman5 104 Posted September 1, 2022 1 hour ago, MTSkiBum said: Also, everyone is sleeping on Hooper, which will make it that much sweeter when he is a top 5 TE. Hooper is my sleeper TE this year too. I took him over Freiermuth because I had D. Johnson, which I might regret. Hope your prediction is right. Kmet vs Hooper is fair bet. Both should see heavy target shares in their offenses. But I will take Hooper to win because I predict more scoring opportunities. Goedert = loss, just better talent and offense. Ertz = invalid bet cause Ertz will miss 2+ games Gesicki = win, I don’t think he will be on the field enough because of poor blocking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted September 1, 2022 The question of whether Austin Hooper was a manifestation of the Dirk Koetter offense when he was in Atlanta, or if he is actually a high-level TE will be tested this season. At least in between blocking for Henry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it was about as good of a game script as Hooper could axe for. The Bears were playing with a lead in a monsoon. Kmet will catch up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps in Skibum's case, but in the case of Axe Elf, it only points out how accurate his projections really are. When Skibum axed me who my favorite TEs for this season were, I told him Ertz, Goedert, Kmet and Gesicki, with Engram as a deep sleeper. He wanted me to pick one of the first four to pit against Austin Hooper for a season-long competition. Well, since he picked such a scrub TE to pit against my choices, I couldn't in good faith pick a TE like Ertz or Goedert, as the contest would have been over by October. So it was down to Gesicki or Kmet, and I went with Kmet. Turns out either one of them would have been a good choice to compete with Austin Hooper, but if I had chosen Gesicki, it might have been a race all season. With Kmet's slow start, the race will at least be in contention into October, although I would imagine it's largely going to be decided by Halloween anyway. So choosing Kmet was designed to give us a better competition than if I had chosen one of the elite TEs to compete against Skibum's scrub. If anyone doubts that I passed over choosing Ertz or Goedert because I thought they would give me an easy win, my thinking is all documented in the original discussion: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
