I like Rico too I just don’t see Witten going anywhere for at least 2-3 years unless the Boys have a disastrous year. I watched an interview with him this season and he mentioned how he takes great care of his body and he’s not thinking about retirement. Granted anything can happen but expect a few more years to see a return on your investment.
I hear ya, but while Witten may not be going anywhere, he's a shell of his former self as far as his receiving ability. Witten wll simply have to take a reduced role, at least on passing downs.
They could save 5.75 million by cutting him. He's not a 6 million dollar TE at this point.
I’m not too sure about that. Witten is a guy who has skins on the wall and is respected by the players and the coaches. Time will tell but this story will end how Witten wants it to I wouldn’t try to push him to the side and say he’ll be reduced to a limited roll.
You two are forgetting how loyal JJ is to his star players especially someone like Witten who’s a first ballet HOF.

I’m not one to compare the past or even players from an different era or position but there’s no question he’ll be a 1st ballot.
I like Rico, picked him up early in the pre season this season and stashed him. All my leagues are TE premium, and he looked great, so it made sense.
I'm only in one non-TE premium league myself so this is why I had two TE's listed as top stashes.
Unless you value picking up 5 yards when you need 6-7 I don't see how anyone could disagree.
Most coveted? Not sure, maybe. He will likely be the most available, in the sense that Landry and Adams coming off of really good seasons will command more money (Id assume)
I actually feel extremely confident Robinson will get paid more than Landry. Watkins more than Landry as well despite not having a big year statisically . NFL pays for speed at WR, they don't break the bank for a lot of possession WR's. People are going to fall out when they see what Paul Richardson is able to get in FA.
A lot of Mocks have them taking Barkley. I’m not sure if they will or not but I do believe they will draft a RB at some point. If Barkley does declare they would be wise to do so.
i own both.
I think as a stash to see what happens in the off-season he's fine, but I have to say he's a guy who gets mentioned a lot and I don't really understand why - a bit like Jonathan Williams in the past (who is still getting mentioned as a deep stash priority, as if he's some kind of great talent), and Chad Kelly from the Broncos who I'm genuinely puzzled by. There are just certain guys who catch a bit of name buzz and it continues for a bit (because people repeat the same names they hear from others) and Williams seems like one of those guys. I suppose the opportunity is there and maybe it's the fact that he taken relatively high in the draft but he's a very low priority guy for me. I'd stash him if I basically had no other options. I'd rather take a chance on a guy like Ryan Switzer.
Kelly gets mention here because Waldman's report was very high on him and he was known to be a non-contributor for 2017 coming of injuries. If he is as good as Waldman says he is on the team with the crappiest QB situation short of Cleveland or the Jets and will get opportunities.
Curious what makes you so confident about Conner. He seemed like a JAG to me. Kind of a plodder who gets whats given, but doesnt create much. Granted, we didnt see much of him, so I obviously could be missing something here, but by that same token I am wondering what about him gives you so much confidnece that a super bowl contender with a seemingly small window of opportunity would turn over its backfield to him. If Bell walks, I would think Pitt either drafts a RB in the first few rounds, or signs a free agent like Hyde or Crowell. I'd personally be a bit surprised if Conner went into next season as 1A but you may be more dialed in than I am .
Gotta figure Lynch goes after Watkins or arob, unless I'm missing another free agent wr he'd prefer. Makes too much sense and Lynch is certainly willing to make deals.
Sounds like the exact same stuff people were saying about Perkins last year. Unless they improve that offensive line, a JAG level player won't get it done there. A guy like Barkley might be ok but he is a far cry from Gallman
Anyone else have these same thoughts? I just picked him up with off season waivers as a what the heck crap shoot.
Win some you lose some. I stashed Carson, Vance, Reynolds and Conner in a bunch of leagues. Guess I'm still laughing. Sure I stashed some of the others too, but what roster doesn't have some turnover? Try not to act like your name, and the world will be a better place.

It was an excellent list given the context. One guy who could have played a role this season was Jeremy Hill. He found himself out of the Cincy dog house and earned a spot on a high powered offense prior to injury.
