    I think Martellus Bennett and Fleener eat this year.

    5 leagues, 5 playoffs, 4 super bowls, and 2 really big rings last year, thanks to the help of this thread [​IMG]

    To everyone here flourishing in their leagues this year [​IMG]

    Bennett is definitely going to eat :smh: .

    Anyone even thinking of drafting Jimmy G for the start of the season?

    I'd have to think the only people drafting Jimmy G for the start of the year are Brady owners in like 16 team leagues.

    Even if you have Brady and are in a 12 team league you could probably grab a better option for four weeks

    It's sad what happened to Jimmy Graham. He had it made in New Orleans. He chose the wrong path going to Seattle that did not fit his style of play. It's a violent game. You never know when it is going to be your last play. He is being drafted very late in my Lake 15th 16th round

    Ah I meant Garoppolo not Graham.

    I agree on the fate of Graham tho. There are way more productive TE's out there. While drafting one isn't a top priority, it is a necessity. Often last year I would flip flop TE's week in and week out. Going to try and avoid that again and have a solid option all year.

    If Graham is going that late I'm all over him. Too much potential to not gamble.

    I hit the jackpot with Eifert last season. He definitely was a huge part in a few of my wins. I'm on the lookout for another sleeper TE this year.

    Took down my money league last season & looking to repeat. Let's eat fellas!

    Fleener for the Saints could be this year's Eifert IMO

    Didn't even realize Fleener was a Saint. Thought he was still with Indy but realized Dwayne Allen is their TE1.

    @Buc Em how's ASJ's standing after the Twitter incident? I've though of him as a late-round target, but now he may be that real late round pick or on the waivers.

    Fleener definitely can come up big this year. Butt he is taken in the 6th seventh or eighth round this year. Another guy to keep an eye on is Eric Ebron. He is taken in the 11th or 12th round in my leagues. He will definitely get an increase in Targets this year without Megatron there. I know at times he has hands like feet but the increase in targets is something to really look into

    I like Ben Watson in Baltimore. Granted he's 35, but Flacco may look to him often. He put up solid numbers with Brees last season, especially in the Red zone.

    I'm targeting Ebron in every league. Like QB, I'll be the last person to draft a TE in every league.

    I don't really like ASJ at all to be honest. Cameron Brate looked like the better TE when both played last year and Jameis loves him. A lot of Bucs fans think Brate could take the starting spot from him this year. ASJ has constantly been injured and missed time with things that didn't seem like they were injuries he needed to miss the significant amount of time he did. Maybe somebody lights a fire up under his *** this year but I personally don't trust him.

    When ASJ is on the field he can be a game changer, but that's his main problem. I'm thinking about cutting him loose on my dynasty squad to be honest.

    I will say that Mike Evans looks like he's in the best shape of his life right now. I think he has a big year.

    Charles Sims will also be used even more this year. Could end up being a legit RB2 in PPR

    I had Sims late last season, grabbed him after the fact from his more productive games earlier on.

    I'm gonna be looking at Kamar Aiken for that Flex option. Even Perriman to stash on the bench.

    Out of these TEs with potential/new teams how would you rank them:

    Ladrius Green PIT

    Colby Fleener NO

    Eric Ebron DET

    Zach Ertz  PHI

    Jared Cook GB

    Maxx Williams BAL

    Deep sleeper/homer pick Will Tye NYG [​IMG][​IMG]

    Will Tye was money as a free agent pickup at the end of last season. Cook, Green and Maxx Williams are such wild cards. I'd probably put Fleener and Green at the top of that list.

    You might have ranked it perfectly already even if that wasn't your intention :lol: with the exception of Green being on top.

    Ebron
    Fleener
    Green
    Ertz
    Cook
    Williams

    is how I would rank em.

    Pains me to draft anyone from NE but I'm going to try for Bennett b/c Gronk will surely go Rnd 1 or 2 again.

    Jared Cook could put up some numbers with the Packers. He's a guy to get laid in the draft that might kick in with some numbers

    Cook's time with the Rams makes me not trust him at all, but maybe I need to give him the clean slate because of the QB's he played with

    I think he has a little more Talent then Richard Rodgers. Yards after catch will be better also

    Oh yeah he definitely has a million times more talent and athleticism...he just needs to stay focused on the football field and not drop the ball.
