Looks good.


I'll throw Tony Schefflers name out there also. Guy missed the first 4 games to injury and was not playing full time till week 7 of the NFL season yet finishing (IN PPR) as the #11. If we extrapolate his numbers over a fully season he's around the #5-6 TE range. J. Walker is now gone and he's the solid second option with Cutler. Whats interresting is I'm just not hearing the buzz around this guy. Nobody is talking about him (FFX currently ranks him at #8 TE) but with a healthy preseason and training camp under his belt and some solid time working the kinks out with Cutler, I think he is the next elite TE.

I agree with you. If healthy, as he is in the same boat as Heap with being banged up, he could be elite. No question!

I'll add David Garrard's name. A low cost, steady as a rock contributor who I believe makes the next step this year.

I'm 100% with you on that one Tav. The guy is rock solid…makes great decisions and nobody is talknig about him..his new WRs may help also.

Yep, you guys are right. New WRs… it will be interesting to see what he can do with his new options.

I agree on those above. I really like the McNabb one. I wish they'd grab a good bonafide #1, I know they are trying (Fitz & Roy).


A couple to add from my thoughts:

I like Owen Daniels, I'm not looking at him as a huge #1 producing TE, but I think you could get him cheap and he is heading into his third season.

NYJ RB: I only put that beacause if they draft McFadden, this is a no brainer, but again I think T. Jones could be a decent #2 fantasy RB with the additions to that O Line

I'll throw one out there: Marvin Harrision.


Had a VERY disappointing season last year due to a nagging injury. He could either return completely healthy and get back to his old form, or be a complete bust again. Could be an amazing bargain if he returns to form.

Robert Meachem. Let's see what he does healthy & with a full pre-season. I'm pretty high on him as the buzz about his talent was so strong last year. He's still got the talent, has had a year to digest the playbook and I think he comes out of “nowhere” this year. He's been largely forgotten…grabbed him off the waiver wire in one deep dynasty league.

Totally agreed on Meachem.


I will add Greg Olson TE. He may actually be the best passing option and on a bad passing team with a bad QB, that is a scenario where TE's thrive. I onv don't want him as my starting TE, but he might be by midseason…

low cost? lol….i know you meant according to value of where you draft him and in terms of fantasy…but i just found it funny that the term was used when his agent is asking for the same money the boys gave romo….low cost?

Low cost fantasy, FFH. Smile I could care less about the business side of the nfl.

Good additions. Harrison is definitely one to monitor.

LOL… yeah, well someone has to carry the kool-aid for old man Marvin. C'mon, would you be that surprised to see Marvin put up an 80 catch season with 6-8 TDs? I know I wouldn't.

No, honestly I wouldn't, not with Manning throwing him the football. Galloway is old like Harrison, it is possible, but only if Harrison is healthy. He is gifted and could put up one more WR2 season, but again, I just wouldn't count on it, so he is only a low-risk/high-reward type guy for me.

How about Lendale White and Deangelo Williams?

I think that they are both top 15-20 RB's if their teams do not add some competition in the draft or via free agency.

I've been high on Lendale White for the past year or so…but recent articles mentioned that his latest citations for destruction of property, disobedience to a lawful order, and interference and resisting could result in a suspension if he is found guilty and underscores immaturity issues. Add in his weight issues and the knee concerns and draft day got a bit more insightful as to how Ten views him.


If he gets suspended I'm betting he comes back overweight and ends up a non-factor this year.

Great ones. Definitely fit the “monitor these guys” group. Could go up, could go down. I think Williams has some serious upside, but only if you can get him at bargain value, or if you already own him on the cheap. Counting on him is tough if the price is high. LenDale… don't trust him at all. Zero.

I agree, but he was cited, not arrested and will probably have no issues at all.

And I think that he will be a beast if they do not add another back to the mix. Same with DeAngelo…
