not sure you can say that after what cameron did. I think id still put gronk ahead of him too at this point. But yeah, somewhere between 2-4

When Gronk comes back, I'm still starting JT over him until circumstances dictate otherwise.

Really trying to ascertain the value of Thomas and Cameron in 3WR, 1 flex, non PPR, non TE mandatory league. Both of these guys are going OFF

In FF the TE pecking order is GRAHAM--------Cameron-----Gonk-------------------------------------------------------------JT,

At this point I would say Cameron is a WR2 in that format, same with Julius. I would start them over my WR3 every time.
Lol... unless Gronk returns and breaks his back hes gonna finish TE2, and might even finish TE1 still. Pats are hurting.

I would switch Gronk and Cameron, but have no issues with the way you ranked it. At this point we are ranking Gronk on potential. If he's 100% healthy I could see him outscoring all TE's PPG. My biggest problem with Julius Thomas is the fact that Denver has so many mouths to feed.

I don't, its entirely possible Gronk can make up 3 games worth of Graham, its not likely but its possible. Better TE, worse offense.

Gronk has out produced him EVERY year if im not mistaken, I think he can do more than match.
This is getting off-topic though.

Hope the injury isn't serious.

OJT better be OK.

Went to the mall and picked up an Orange Julius today.

was he? I saw green at TE

He's out there
I wouldn't trade any of the 3 for Gronk this year.
Gronk is coming of back surgery and 3 or 4 forearm surgeries ... people expecting him to be the same player are nutz.

really nice block by OJ on that Hillman run......

JT's blocking looks much improved, no?

AP blew out his knee and was the leading rusher less than a year later, Gronk is coming off nothing anywhere near as serious as that.

Back surgery is as bad and maybe worse than knee surgery. 4 forearm surgeries is really bad. He hasn't been able to work out and is not in football shape, he has surely lost some strength and mobility, that and not having a a preseason makes him more likely to get injured

He's had a month to practice and get into football shape now. It's not like he's walking right out of surgery and onto the field. Gronk had the same surgery before, and still turned out to be the stud he is. There's definately risk in taking him, but people saying he can't be the same are nuts.

Anyways, back to Orange Julius. Anyone else see him look at the kicker and say "haha" after he caught the onside kick? Dudes a stud.

I think he's converted me. I didn't think he could sustain getting enough targets to be consistent. Looking like I was wrong.
The only thing that worries me is if he doesn't get that TD, then we are looking at a relatively weak points total this week (and maybe even last). Very glad he got the call once again. We need Denver to start playing some opponents that can either keep up with the score, or simply not let Denver score all their points in the first half. I want to see them having to throw it all game.

OJT doesn't look like a stud to me. He looks like a big, slow, athletic TE who is surrounded by phenomenal weapons and has Peyton Manning throwing him the pill. Just me though.

Other than Graham or Gronk, thats usually the case with most TEs. Again, hes not on their level which is why I still think Id rank Gronk over him.
So is he slow or athletic? And big is a bad thing?

Footballguy
Slow and athletic. That is possible, Einstein. He's big, not a bad thing at all. What's your point?

Your post sounded like a negative assessment of OJT. I'm thinking Shady was just looking for you to clarify. "Einstein?" Really??

My bad.
Woke up to a trade being vetoed in one of my money leagues. It was the pee-pee in my cheerios.

CBS has an injury designation. I'm sure it's precautionary. I'm not really worried, just wondered what happened.
