I wanted to get your thoughts on the TE position this year.
Last year I did really well by having Ertz on most of my teams while a lot of other teams scuffled at the TE position. Do you think the top tier of Gronk-Kelce-Ertz are worth the price this year?
Gronk had 69-1084-8 in 14 games. That's a pretty good year, but a bit of a down year for him. However, with no Cooks and Edleman out for a few, there should be even more targets for Gronk. Of course he has the injury history, rumors wanting to retire, and Brady is getting up there in age. There comes some risk with drafting Gronk at the price it will cost. Of the three, he seems to have the most upside.
Kelce had 83-1038-8 in 15 games. The addition of Watkins (at that contract) should mean less targets for Kelce and Hill. Smith seemed a good fit for Kelce and Mahomes is essentially a rookie QB as far as experience goes. This probably means a drop-off in stats for Kelce in addition to a reduction in targets.
Ertz had 74-824-8 in 14 games. Ertz had similar career catches and yards, but a breakthrough 8 tds. With Philly seemingly wanting to utilize Goedert, does Ertz's td totals go back to prior levels? Plus Ertz has a history of getting banged up.
If passing on the paying for the top 3, then what's your target in the next tier?
