Better dynasty stash: Noah Gray -vs- Alec Pierce (1 Viewer)

[sushinsky4tsar]

going to have to drop one for a kicker in a non-TE premium dynasty league.

I'm loaded at both positions, so it really becomes a question of which one is the first to become a valued commodity by my leaguemates . I'm the Kelce manager with other options behind him, but I would really like to see what Gray can do tonight. 75-yard game with a TD in the opener and I think he's considered a TE commodity to be stashed for as long as Kelce is around. Could probably trade him immediately to a TE starved team for 3rd or 2/3 swap.

I have considered Pierce a must hold for most of the offseason, but not loving the narrative. I can only start 3 WRs including the flex, and he is buried. More than anything, I'm becoming skeptical that he's ultimately going to lay claim to the #2 spot, while keeping Downs in the #3, and giving the Colts no reason to upgrade the position in the offseason. Seems more likely that I'll become frustrated with a slow start by A-Rich and I will just end up pulling the plug in week 4.

Ended up dropping Gray. Pierce gets his shot to try to build quick chemistry with AR.


As for Gray...

broken tackle / YAC -- GOOD
1st quarter business decision -- BAD

Maybe that ball wasn't as close as it looked, but not what you want to see from a guy playing behind Kelce for two years that just got his big break.

1st quarter business decision -- BAD

I thought he was held on the play. They never showed a replay but at first glance I thought the defender grabbed his trail arm and slowed him down while not allowing two hands to go for the ball.

Here's the play. Keep in mind, I'm looking for reasons to feel better about dropping him.

Sadly, I think the reality is that I don't play in a dynasty league deep enough to try to get Gray back (12 X 24). Probably could without spending much faab if Kelce is back for week 2. I think I'm just going to have to hope my leaguemates forget about him and I'm in position to pounce next time he gets a shot when Kelce's clock is closer to winding down.
