Dallas Clark and Jacob Tamme (1 Viewer)

[100]

Last year Dallas Clark played in the first six games, average 9.4 yards per reception to the tune of 37/384/3

Tamme averaged the same per reception and in ten games had 67/631/4

For fantasy purposes, the production was equal, but on the field it might be a different story. Clark obviously has the longer rapport with Peyton and may be a better blocker. I don't know any of this because I didn't see to many Colts games last year. So is Clark a better blocker and by how much? Are there other factors that Clark has that separates him from Tamme?

Tamme is young and played/produced through injuries while Clark is coming from a wrist injury and getting up there in age. Will the Colts utilize them both? And is anyone drafting Clark looking to handcuff Tamme in redrafts?

Tamme sucked big time last year, after the first couple weeks he was awal this is Clark and I dont even see Tamme as an heir to Clark

He had 17 catches in the first couple of weeks. Then he sucked and only had 50 catches over the last 8 weeks of the season.So when he sucked he was on pace for a 100 catch season?Give me 100 catches & I don't care how many TDs you get.

I watched every Colts game. His production didn't change much. If you take our the Eagles game (his 2nd game starting), he pretty much did the same thing all season. He had 7 catches in each of the last 3 regular season games. In PPR format that is pretty good for a TE.

I think Tamme is more of a system product than Clark.

Clark is a special talent at the position. Tamme is not.

If I were to draft Clark in redraft, I would not handcuff him. I'd look to land a value play in later rounds. I own him in one dynasty league, and Tamme is sitting on the waiver wire...

Clark is worlds better than Tamme. Tamme dropped a bunch of passes, mistimed many routes...all the stuff you expect to see out of an inexperienced player. He was great for fantasy because Peyton had to keep feeding him balls (yes, I chose that phrase) since Collie was hurt, the TE is a big part of the offense, and their running game was awful. I think he's really just an average tight end who was in a perfect situation for fake football.

Draft Clark with confidence, and don't expect anything out of Tamme unless he gets hurt again. Gijon Robinson numbers are what you'll likely see.

This is going to be Cooley/Davis all over again. People see that a player was statistically successful in a short amount of injury time, and purely because of that they think it's going to be a time share TE situation. They ignored the fact that Cooley was a very good TE.

Same situation, different name.

Ignore Tamme, take Clark everyday.

i'm not a huge TAmme believer either, but i don't think you can call it "a short amount" of time.

Clark is one of the best ever TEs (or so very much on his way) IMO.

I think this thread is a giant leap and/or lack of appreciation for Clark.

Tamme's fortunate to learn from him and that's about it.

I don't think anyone is saying to take Tamme because he will be splitting with Clark. Tamme is the obvious backup here, but he does hold some value because he will put up nice numbers if Clark goes down. My only argument was with the mention that Tamme sucked badly after a couple of good games. As far a the comment about him dropping a lot of balls, he caught a higher percentage of his targets than Clark did.

you can't draft a backup TE in FF. Pick him up on the WW at some point, even early, but I just don't think one can do that with any confidence

Now why go and ruin perfectly good opinions and presuppositions with facts?

In the scope of Clark's success I think you can. He had about the same amount of tme as Davis did starting, he just happened to have a better QB who used him more often.

Well yeah, but that's the whole point. You want Norv Turners RB, Andy Reids QB & Payton Mannings TE. Whoever is in that spot will produce.
