No idea what's been going on down there, the entire team's been off my fantasy radar. However I did recently (maybe past week or 2) acquire Wright and Walker. As you know Locker is gone for the season. He's no Peyton Manning, but I hear he was no Crapztastic either.
So what are the FF implications going forward for any TEN wideout? Ya see, I immediately devalued everyone but Chris Johnson. Then today I hear that Delaney Walker was one of the top 10 added players this week. So I realize TEs are sometimes a QB's security blankie, but is that really what's going on here? He had a decent game, #1 TE this week, not by much - but still 15th overall. Anyway, is Fitz not so significant a downgrade as to avoid him and Wright too?
While I'm at it, what of the Clay situation in Miami? He was originally pegged as a RB, so with Incognito and Martin gone...nah, I'm thinking in a severely compromised o-line situation, avoid that ENTIRE offense, right?

In my CTM league, I've recently dropped Timothy Wright after watching a putrid TAM offense on Monday night, and have added Walker in my starting lineup to replace him this week. Keep in mind, I also have Bennett, but his production has taken a nosedive without Cutler. Originally drafted Finley as my TE, was expecting a solid season from him, and it looked as though he would have had one if not for injury. So, yeah....I've been playing the TE carousel week in and week out now too. Although I know TEN offense ain't nothing to write home about, I do like the fact that Walker got a ton of targets(8)for a TE. Shit, he only caught 4 of them, so his day could have even been much better. I like him moving forward with Fitz as the QB, however I'm not sure I'd be trusting any of the WR's though.

@eddiej2010 - Well yeah, I started to go on to say that many TEs for a multitude of reasons were not working out - Finley, Bennett, Heath Miller, Gonzo, Rudolph, Kendricks, Daniels, it's ridiculous. Guys like Gresham, Myers half the production as last year, sad, Patriots, don't even start. Carousel, Clay you gotta worry now, ugh. Tampa, that's been a total crapshoot down there for any player - Martin gone, Freeman sucked. Been a rough year for FF, all bad finishes will be asterisked. Somehow you're flourishing over at Steeler's league you took over for an absentee. hehe

LOL @ Shitzpatrick. Titans are dysfunctional. I probably stole that from my boy nateball89. Must give credit where credit is due, as well as a few bitch slaps.

Shit, he only caught 4 of them, so his day could have even been much better. I like him moving forward with Fitz as the QB. Had a very nice performance from Walker last night Like I said previously, he had a pleasantly encouraging amount(8) of targets the previous week, but only caught 4, and could have had a much better game. Well, he followed that up this week with 10 targets, and he made the most of them this time. Perhaps wishful thinking, but I think the merry-go-round of TE's may just be over for me now. Fitz just doesn't have the type of arm strength to be launching many deep passes, so I think Walker should continue to see a high number of targets the rest of the season. Kendall Wright looks like a very nice WR to own in a PPR league, but not much more than an okay flex option in standard scoring league due to his lack of TD receptions.

Eddie, you're making me ill, or prolonging it. I had recently acquired Wright and Walker in 3 leagues. Accidentally sat Walker in all of them, Wright in 1. Most of my other options are miserable - Heath Miller, Clay, Gonzo not looking great, just picked up Housler. Wright dropped an easy one, and ALMOST dropped the one they didn't call when he slammed the ball out of his hands after he hit the ground. But Walker had a career day - it was me who dropped the ball. Could cost me the game in a couple leagues.
Fitz didn't look terrible, you can't expect much more from him. Just watch, I start Walker next week, and he loses me another 3 matches. I'm so cursed this year it ain't funny. You're right, Wright got 17 in PPR leagues, just 8 in non-PPR.

Didn't mean to rub it in. I was under the assumption that we were both starting Walker this week. How was I to know you "accidentally" sat him in 3 leagues? I don't understand how you made the same accident in all 3 leagues. I mean, if that's who you truly wanted to start, no way you accidentally left him out in 3 separate leagues....right? My guess is that you were so undecided, really wanted to take a chance with him, but ultimately ended up choosing another instead, and are really regretting doing so now? Housler has the best matchup for TE's out of the 4 other options you've listed, as JAX has given up the 3rd most ff points to TE's this season. However, pretty hard to trust a guy who just scored the first TD of his 32 game career. Marcedes Lewis, on the other hand, could be a sneaky sleeper play this week, as ARI has given up THEE most ff points to TE's this season. Just a thought.

I was undecided only with Gonzo, I CERTAINLY meant to start Walker over Heath Miller and Clay. Had I started Walker, Heath would have instantly been dropped in 2 leagues. If you must know, I was up since 3 PM, 5 hours sleep, out most of the day, needed a nap at 7:30 or I was afraid I wouldn't last til halftime. So I set my alarm for 8:15, and in a groggy stupor extended my nap til 9, not remembering I had Thursday night issues to make a decision on. It's inexplicable I know. Somehow slipped my mind in was the Titans playing, the light bulb never went off. lol But I picked up Walker this week in all 3 leagues, and you know when you do that it always goes to the bench until you move them.
