Bell has the highest ceiling of the 3. Used to play QB at Oklahoma for 3 years. As a reserve, imagine QB injuries and he steps in as QB while listed as a TE. A FF team with 2 starting QBs would be hard to beat.
Good call.
I think it's more a product of Chan Gailey not being a TE-friendly OC.Good call.
Seriously though, I think he killed his chance in NY - was drafted by Rex and Bowles never seemed to like him even before he got hurt.
He's got some athleticism and I guess he could thrive in another situation a la Barnidge, but would probably need a good amount of luck and injuries to do so.
I was just assuming that Vance McDonald would be rostered already. If not, then he is certainly worth a look. Then pick the one you think has the best odds of being a factor.
Gordon and Woodhead would be rostered in probably all dynasty leagues. If not......then I wish I could play in your league....
He's on my personal "All Free Agent Team" in my dynasty league. I wanted to grab him earlier this season, but he got hurt before I got around to it. At the very least, he has opportunity. Whether he can make it happen may be another issue. But for a deep player like this, he's about as good a candidate as anyone else out there.
Both Allen + Fleener are free agents this offseason. Zero chance IMO they're both back. Colts like him enough (with zero football experience) to have him on practice squad for 2 seasons now. Zero cost + great situation + great athlete + TE friendly Chud & U connection + you're likely getting your answer with Swoope quickly (by their decisions on Allen&Fleener and upcoming draft)tone1oc said:
I was wondering if you thought one of the two would fail (as there are some who expect Gordon to bust). But I see your angle and agree.Gordon and Woodhead would be rostered in probably all dynasty leagues. If not......then I wish I could play in your league....
Since the question is which players to "stash", I think Oliver is a player who would have significant short term value and possible trade value if either Gordon or Woodhead were injured for any real length of time. He has shown he can handle the job, plus he is someone most people would never consider. If you have a roster space to sit on him as a "developmental" type of player, then in a couple years he should assume the Woodhead role, if that offense still has that role by then. Anyway, he's under the radar for most people.
I don't see the opportunity with the two guys ahead of him on the depth chart though. Best situation for him is a trade or injury, and Jax would be dumb to trade such depth.
i'm not overly impressed with Mike Evans yet. some of it maybe Winston or Lovie's doing, i'm sure. that said, Bell had the reputation of being a decent and willing run-blocker before he went to IR. i think he could get a chance if VJ goes away.
Swoope, there it is.
As a Lions fan, I have to say that Zenner is a very unremarkable back. While I agree they will be on the hunt for another RB, Zenner will be purely a depth/ST guy if he hangs on. He's a good story but he had pretty significant chest injury and this guy wants to be a Dr. at some point so I could see him leaving the sport sooner than later.
Good call.. He's IR-able to as a bonus.
I agree, I think he will be the starter next year, but I think he will have a year like Hurns did last year. 2 or 3 big games, 2 or 3 mediocre games and the rest will be like playing with one less player. In my opinion his break should happen after a couple things.
Also Jared Abbrederis
This. Davante Adams has had plenty of opportunities to step up, I think the arrow is pointing down on him, and the other WRs you mentioned will get increased playing time down the stretch.
