HEADLEY @CPGM Headley | DREW @S1rdr3w |
ELITE | |
"They are as good as a #1 WR" | |
1. Travis Kelce - Kansas City Chiefs - Give me Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes offense over Kyle Shanahan and Jimmy G for George Kittle. | 1. George Kittle - San Francisco 49ers - Jimmy G is back and Kittle has arrived. |
2. George Kittle - San Francisco 49ers | 2. Travis Kelce - Kansas City Chiefs |
3. Zach Ertz - Philadelphia Eagles | 3. OJ Howard - Tampa Bay Bucanneers - BA has never had a TE like OJ Howard in his offense and it wont be just trick plays like Koetter did with Howard |
4. Zach Ertz - Philadelphia Eagles | |
SUPERS | |
"A few catches, YAC, or TD's away from being in the elite tier" | |
4. OJ Howard - Tampa Bay Bucanneers | 5. Evan Engram - New York Giants |
5. Hunter Henry - Los Angeles Chargers - Henry looks healthy and ready to dominate in 2019. | 6. Hunter Henry - Los Angeles Chargers - He will be "ELITE" soon. One less weapon on the team going in to this season in Tyrell Williams |
6. Evan Engram - New York Giants - Engram usually shows out when there isn't an elite receiver option in the offense, sign me up for a BIG season as the Giants will force him targets. | 7. Vance McDonald - Pittsburgh Steelers |
NEXT LEVEL PLAYERS | |
"A player on the cusp , but age, scheme, or injury may be holding them back" | |
7. Jared Cook - New Orleans Saints - Drew Brees as your quarterback equals fantasy success for Cook. | 8. Jared Cook - New Orleans Saints - I remember when Brees had Jimmy Graham. Well Cook is a better all around TE! |
8. Eric Ebron - Indianapolis Colts | 9. Eric Ebron - Indianapolis Colts |
9. Vance McDonald - Pittsburgh Steelers | 10. TJ Hockenson - Detroit Lions - I am expecting big things from Hockenson, being in this run first offense who will be used in a variety of ways. I predict plenty of volume coming his way. |
10. David Njoku - Cleveland Browns | 11. Austin Hooper - Atlanta Falcons - Coming into his own. It took awhile but he is here and only going to get better. |
PROMISING | |
"You have seen the potential and at some point you will see it again but for how many games?" | |
11. Austin Hooper - Atlanta Falcons | 12. Darren Waller - Oakland Raiders - I could by seasons end see Waller in the"SUPERS" tier. Word from camp is he is unguardable! Also Gruden loves the TE position and using them in a variety of ways either islolating them up with inferior positions or scheming them open to be free at the snap with formations. |
12. Delanie Walker - Tennessee Titans | 13. Delanie Walker - Tennessee Titans |
13. Kyle Rudolph - Minnesota Vikings | 14. David Njoku - Cleveland Browns - Lots of weapons for the aerial assault for Baker but where I think Njoku eats is TDs. |
14. Jordan Reed - Washington Redskins | 15. Jordan Reed - Washington Redskins |
15. Darren Waller - Oakland Raiders - Waller has been the talk of Raiders camp, can he take advantage of Jared Cook's offense and have a breakout season? If healthy I say Yes. | 16. Mark Andrews - Baltimore Ravens |
16. Mark Andrews - Baltimore Ravens - Andrews built a nice rapport with Lamar Jackson last season who likes to throw the football inside the numbers. | 17. Noah Fant - Denver Broncos |
17. Dallas Goedert - Philadelphia Eagles - If only Ertz wasn't in Philadelphia. Goedert is promising but he needs an injury to occur. | |
STATUS QUO | |
"Nothing special here. Can I get my projections please!?!" | |
18. Greg Olsen - Carolina Panthers | 18. Greg Olsen - Carolina Panthers |
19. TJ Hockenson - Detroits Lions | 19. Chris Herndon IV - New York Jets |
20. Jimmy Graham - Green Bay Packers | 20. Kyle Rudolph - Minnesota Vikings |
COMPLEMENT | |
"Will meet or just fall short of their projections week to week" | |
21. Jack Doyle - Indianapolis Colts | 21. Trey Burton - Chicago Bears |
22. Tyler Eifert - Cincinnati Bengals | 22. Tyler Eifert - Cincinnati Bengals |
23. Chris Herndon IV - New York Jets - If he wasn't missing the first 4 games, Herndon would be in the "PROMISING" tier. | 23. Jack Doyle - Indianapolis Colts |
24. Jason Witten - Dallas Cowboys | |
25. Dallas Goedert - Philadelphia Eagles | |
WAIT AND SEE | |
"Could be a sleeper but you gonna wanna see something first" | |
24. Noah Fant - Denver Broncos | 26. Jimmy Graham - Green Bay Packers |
25. Trey Burton - Chicago Bears | 27. Michael Colubiale - Jacksonville Jaguars |
BEST OF THE REST | |
"Don't let it come to this" | |
26. Ben Watson - New England Patriots | 28. Mike Gesicki - Miami Dolphins |
27. Jason Witten - Dallas Cowboys | 29. Cameron Brate - Tampa Bay Bucanneers |
28. Jordan Thomas - Houston Texans | 30. Vernon Davis - Washington Redskins |
29. Gerald Everett - Los Angeles Rams | |
30. Ian Thomas - Carolina Panthers |
