TE Help Please!!

[redseat]

Right now in a 10 team head to head points league I have Brent Celek as my TE... I need an upgrade I am thinking.

Only problem here are the FA out there (by actual points ranking, not projected):

Owe Daniels (IR)
Jared Cook (Who I had earlier but dropped)
Joseph Fauria
Garrett Graham
Jeff Cumberland
Coby Fleener (I am thinking pick him up,seems to be going well with Indy)
Brandon Pettigew

There are more but those are the top few

Honestly off that list I would go with either Cumberland or the UCLA guy Fauria. The thing about Fauria is he has like 9 total catches.............but 5 are for TD's. Fleener just hooked me up with one point in each of the last 2 weeks..........Graham is worth a look but not sure anybody in that passing game besides Andre (and not so sure about him) is even playable right now.

Fauria is a TD only boom or bust guy. Cumberland looked impressive on that Monday night game. I think I would go that route given the options.

And that is why I am a little hesitant about picking up Fauria. I know he has the TD's but its that or nothing and right now I can't afford to have nothing.

Heath Miller isn't floating around out there, is he?

 

[redseat]

He is already taken

zach miller is though

Zack Ertz could be a major surprise..since you own Celek, I'm sure your aware of how often Ertz is on the field and Celek isn't..that's only going to keep growing. I know it's a long shot, and probably no kind of upgrade for the next couple weeks, but it could pan out.
Till than I'd be looking at Cook or Graham

... took the words out of my mouth Treff... I picked Ertz up in my 16 team keeper league and dropped Cook. I feel the changing of the guard is right around the corner.

...but I do like that Zach Miller thought, Arizona is currently ranked 32nd against TE's, for whatever that is worth. (I usually don't pay attention to those stats, but I would (discount) daawble check who Arizona played and see if they just got unlucky matchups, or if the mediocre TE are tearing them up.

I like Ertz too

Keep an eye on Marcedes Lewis. Any signs of life from him and I'd grab him quick. He's what the Jags need (and what MJD needs). The Jags are getting better fast with Blackmon in there and Gabbert out.

I'd take a chance on Jordan Reed. He looks like he has the Jimmy Graham/college basketball player build, and if RGIII would have hit him when he was wide open a few more times, he would have ahd a great night vs DAL last week. Fred Davis is on the outs, Reed will be yet another low end TE option going forward, but I still like him more than Celek this year.

I need TE help as well, was going to start a new thread, but come on we cant have a million threads!!!

I own Tyler eifert, he is my only TE...
The best and really only TE left not taken is Cumberland...

question one- is that an upgrade??
question 2- who should i drop:
1. Montee ball- still convinced that he is the future of the Broncos this season-especially later on
2. Chris Ivory- Bilal Powell is banged up, ivory is the speed back/big play potential in the Jets RB
3. Eifert-still would like to see if he is anything
4. Kris Durham- the clear number 2 WR on a potent offense, and when calvin is out he did good enough as the one(broyles is just not that good)
5. Terelle pryor- i am not strong at QB, so i would like a good player as a backup/spot starter.

Dump Monta Ball. He might be the future but not this season. Moreno has been playing well enough to keep his lock on the position

IMO Fauria will become a red zone stud. He was covered well on all 3 TD's this past weekend and nothing stopped him.

Except a healthy calvin johnson!!!

After only getting a combined 1 TD from Marshall, Dez, McCoy, Bernard, Martin, Cameron in my standard league, I really feel the need to toot my own horn here. I told a few people to look for Jordan Reed on waivers last week, grabbed him for my bench in a couple of leagues, and absolutely shredded CHI D yesterday.

2 very nice games in a row now, and RGIII has been needing a play-making TE to find holes in coverage, as it seems Garcon has 2 guys on him everywhere he goes.

I was wondering where this thread was, just to give you yer props. Good call, Monkey.
