Uh, oh - week 8 TE..

[Bills04 61]

Full-point PPR.  McBride is on a BYE week.  MIA TE D. Waller .. strained his t!t.  Will likely need to grab a TE off the WW.  What's available, and the match-ups - lower totals are better:

 

						Rnkgs	Total
MIN TJ Hockenson		borderline TE1/2			@ LAC	19 / 22	41
NYG TE T. Johnson		usable streamer			@ PHI	7 / 30	41
LAC TE O. Gadsden II		an ascending TE1			H, MIN	20 / 21	37
NYJ TE M. Taylor		QB T. Taylor would be a boon for him			@ CIN	30 / 1	31
PIT P. Freiermuth		not enough passing volume..			H, GB	1 / 2	3
CIN N. Fant		not enough passing volume..			H, NYJ	21 / 7	28

 

Hey LA peeps - why is Gadsden blowing up, with the three good WRs on that roster??  Is he worth a flier on?  Also: Freiermuth SCREAMS like a ceiling week  Thing is - PIT has TWO other TEs that are also good..

 

Who are YOUR top-2 to file a claim for?

Mark it down....Hock is due for a blowup.

On your list I like Johnson and Gadsen.  I'd also suggest Otton if available.  Led the Bucs in yardage last night and Baker is definitely looking for him more without Evans and (probably still this week) Godwin.

Taylor/ Freiermuth.

Yeah I played Otton this past week while my opponent had baker. If was fun watching him try to catch up as almost every time baker got a point so did otton

I grabbed Mason Taylor specifically for the Bengals matchup. Remember the Steelers threw FOUR touchdowns to TEs against them last Thursday. I'd put Gadsden at #2 with Otton 2b. Otton went nuts last year in the second half due to WR injuries. Sound familiar?

[DocNiner 71]

Yeah, I have McBride on bye this week and Waller on IR. Missed getting Gadsden so I picked up Mason Taylor and put him in my lineup with confidence. WR Wilson may not play and their QB situation is dogwater but even with Tyrod Taylor.at.QB Mason Taylor should get a fair amount of target against sa Bengals defense that give up production to TEs as witnessed what the Steelers TEs did to them last week. I do have Dalton Kincaid and he's been decent this year but a little banged up so I feel a little more confident starting Mason Taylor this week.

this is along the lines of what I would have said.

hes the best of a bad lot.    and by far has the most upside.

if you really insist on not taking him, Freiermuth is your guy

Don’t sell Theo Johnson short. I think the Giants have the capability SF East Coast Version- lite. Dart/Scattebo and Theo could be a poor man’s Purdy, CMC, Kittle.
