When Finley went down a few years ago Martin and Crabtree amounted to crap and they were a wide open offense. They can run now but are limited at WR. Interesting situation. He should be a last resort option at TE but what the heck do I know. Grab him now if you have room and see what he does this week.
Yeah well ... it's not that simple ... sorry.
I don't disagree, but we all know Finley can't catch and if he was all that he would have been playing a lot.
I never liked Finley as a fantasy TE. Possibly because of the passes that seemed to hit him right in the face were uncatchable. Always overated, in fantasy. This Bostick kid ... could be just what the Doctor ordered for that passing game.
It comes down to if Rodgers trusts him enough to throw to him more than 2 times a game if he can get open and block.
Some relevant information about Fasano in week 7:
Agreed...I think they will develop him...but more cautioning the redraft guys this year gushing about to temper their expectations on a guy not even sure to get any real playing time for a little while.
Im of the opinion that Bostick probably has that higher ceiling as you say.
Was honestly about to ask the same thing. Wasn't Quarless the original "next Finley," only he then tore up his knee and was working his way back. Certainly seems like he's getting first crack at it.
I picked him up a week early but not really expecting too much. We still don't know what the deal is with Finley, may be out for the yr or may only miss a month or so. Also Finley is going to chase the $$ and return to football next yr, due to this injury plagued yr hes not going to get the deal hes been wanting and may settle for a short-term deal with the Pack so he can attempt to prove himself. So big picture, this Finley injury may less Bostick dynasty stock instead of increasing it. I think us dynasty Bostick owners are going deal with Finley's return and have to hope for Bostick to over take Finley ala Reed is over taking Davis.
I'm curious where you get that he is a purely blocking TE. Is that your observation or have you heard or read that somewhere? I've always thought that, while he is a pretty good blocker, he is also a capable receiver with good hands and decent speed.
not a GB homer and haven't seen Quarless play too much, but from what I've seen is very very avg. But right now he his the safe play.
I am not a GB homer but as a Bears fan, I am an interested party! Quarless has been in the league since 2010 with a total of 28 catches in that time. I know he was out with injury in 2012 but still averaging 1 catch per game over that span is not really screaming he is anything other than a blocking TE. Finley has been very erratic as a pass catcher all those years and he has never been able to press for more targets in the passing game in GB? I don't see Bosticks floor as being that much lower than Quarless and the ceiling would seem to be very much higher. I wouldn't be surprised if Quarless does better in the this coming game but I definitely see Bostick as a better long term answer to the TE position in GB. Just my

I wouldn't say that Quarless is just a blocking TE as much as Bostick was kept on the team for his receiving skills and is more likely to be involved in the passing game.I am not a GB homer but as a Bears fan, I am an interested party!

I disagree; sure teams will understand if he sits out the rest of the yr but they will hold it against him when it comes contract time, while if he does make it back it'll give his agent something to brag about.
