TE sleepers

Alright, time to kick up the fantasy talk around here.

So who do the Outlaws like to breakout at the TE position?

A couple guys I like to out perform their draft spots:

Pettigrew - bounce back year for him, he will once again be a solidbstartbeach week at TE.

Cook - I like the move to St. l for him. Will emerge into a bottom 1/2 top ten TE.

C Jordan - would like him more with a better QB. Will make an impact and get people talking about how good he can get. Will be.inconsistent, but will pop a couple big games.

I like Kelce's chance of developing into a solid TE by midseason . I like Fleener, Zach Miller, and Jordan Reed to possibly be sleeper material. I really like Cook and hopefully does better in StL. Though not really sleepers I expect Bennett, Myers, Olsen, Pitta to have pretty good seasons this year

I am all over with JJ on Kelce and Fleener.

Cook has me worried, I was high on him, but he is struggling with injuries again.

Look for a TE in Phi to be huge, my guess is it will be Ertz or Casey who they signed as an FA, by all reports Celek is seen as a blocker for now.

Rookie in Cincy could be big. Especially if they can't establish a solid #2 wr.

wonder if Gonzales in Atl. rates as a sleeper, since he was going to retire, but folks are sleeping on him

yeah, can say the same thing about Witten as well. Probably not a sleeper, but he seems to be forgotten.

By who????? I hope he is forgotten in my leagues this year. I know he wasn't forgotten about in HG's.....he got a 3+k raise over his market price from last year.

My guess is J Wit will be in the top 5 TE's off the board in most leages as he should be. If not, he's great value any lower.
 
I think there is still a bit of sleeper appeal in Ed Dickson. Baltimore WR corp is thin and I'm not a believer that Pitta is the greatest.

Robert Housler, Palmer loves TE's in garbage time and besides Fitz, someone has to emerge as a #3 option in the offense behind Fitz and Floyd(who should have a good year).

Brandon Myers is being ranked in the 20s, he will be a top 12 TE this year in PPR.

Zach Miller emerged(again) last season in the playoffs(12-190-1), I know there are a lot of options in the offense, but after Harvin and Beastmode, I wouldn't be surprised if Miller stepped up as the 3rd option.

I like Finleys value this year. They kept him, and he kept his mouth shut and worked this off season. His weight and mass are back and a top 6 TE season is very possible.

Coming at you
While not a sleeper, I think Vernon Davis is a top 5 TE this year.

With Crabtree out, he is hands down the most talented receiver on the field and I see a lot more of him splitting out this year. It was very successful in the playoffs and I assume Harbaugh is bright enough to stay with something that works.

I can see an 80/1100/10 season this year.

Zach Miller is another guy I like. I don't think Harvin eats into his action like others seem to think. Seattle hasn't added a TE so they must like what they see.

I on board with Housler and Cook.

Cameron will get hyped but injuries will keep him quiet this year... just like last year... and just like the OTAs this year so far.

I am a little worried about Miller. They have the WRs now to loosen the top, and I think they will be using Willson and Harper in the crowds some. Can't see an increase this year and next year will prolly be a downer. In Keeper or Dynasty I think it is time to sell before you wind up holding the bag

Any worry about bid injury RC?
Injured players always carry their concerns, but I am not overly concerned about this injury. His biggest risk will be in protection, and all that might do is free him from that responsibility some. As a number two....he's money.

I don't think Ed Dickson automatically becomes Dennis Pitta, though. He doesn't have nearly the pass-catching skills that Pitta does. Maybe he goes from the #38 TE to the #25 TE, but I still don't think I would want him on my team, except as maybe a backup in a 16-teamer.
 
I'd say 25 is his floor on that offense. At the very least a bye week filler in all TE mandatory leagues with top 10 upside. Pitta has really been Dickson's only real downside with a few slight durability issues which wouldn't shy me away.
