So you start a thread asking someone to convince you to hold, yet also say there's nothing out there anyway...

Going beyond the stat line, I was watching the CAR-SD game, and he looked pretty fantastic, and that's even before he caught the game-winner. I know that he hurt his foot, so that might be a problem for him recently. I'd hold if you could afford to.
An owner in my league just dropped him and I'm considering grabbing him.

While it is possible he may go Frisman Jackson, he did hurt his foot week 1. He's also playing behind Jeff King right now. In a redraft league, I'd drop him. I think he's flashed enough talent between the preseason and week 1 to be a hold in dynasty.

I thought he looked great in pre-season and was talked about a bit locally last year. I'd hold if you have space in Dynasty.TommyGilmore

Really? You're surprised that a TE wouldn't continue to put up superstar numbers after the team's star WR returned to the field?
I dropped him this week but I am also a Shockey owner, so it helped me make my decision as I needed a TE that actually is producing some stats. I was impressed with his week 1 game, as one of the earlier posters were, even watched the replay of the game and I chose him over other FA TE's in my league but after two down weeks, I could not wait for him.
Other possibles at TE on Waiver Wire: Jeremy Stevens, Delanie Walker, Billy Miller???? They all seem to play for good offenses - take a chance.

Very good point.
The idea of a player having a great week in the first week of the season and then fading into obscurity is totally unique. Never has happened before.

Are up and coming TE's typically kept in dynasty leagues? Unless the keeper rule is pretty deep, I wouldn't think a TE who had one big game would be keeper-worthy.
Seems like much ado is made over a player who most certainly would be a nice role player on a team, but not a stud. Wouldn't you target studs for dynasties?
Admittedly, I've never been part of football dynasty leagues. I thought your keepers were capped at 3-4 players or so. I'm having trouble thinking that Rosario is one of those 3-4.

I saw the Panthers-Chargers game and he looked awesome. The announcers were gushing over him and saying he had Antonio Gates-esque talent and it was difficult not to agree. That's the reason to hold on to him, not just because he had one good game.And btw, dynasty leagues and keeper leagues are different things. In keeper leagues, you "keep" a certain number of players every year. In dynasty leagues you keep 'em all. I'm in leagues with 45 man rosters, for example. The judgement on whether to hold on to him really depends on the size of your roster.

Just because he was a Week 1 stud doesn't mean he is destined to disappear. All oranges are orange but not everything that is orange is an orange.

i would tend to think that the teams that carolina has played the last 2 weeks might have something to do with his lack of production.....the bears and vikings tend to hold teams down like that.....delhomme had 128/191 yds and 0 TDs. but then again it could be the jackson syndrome........

:( + on a run-first team.+ Steve Smith back.Probably will have a few more good weeks this year, but in a redraft he'd only be on my roster if it's a big league and/or deep rosters. Definite dynasty prospect.

Deep....Very deep...The shark move here was picking him up off the WW and trading him immediately. By doing this I was able to add Hasslebeck as my backup to Romo. Sure, maybe I was trading the next Gates away, but I already had 3 TE's and nobody to back up Romo. I went with the safe bet and let someone else take on the risk...
The size of the sample this season is small, but if you look at the teams the Panthers have played against (SD, CHI & MIN all were in the top 5 for FF re-draft leagues) with the last two games especially were against two very tough Ds that really rushed the passer well. CHI was stacking 8 in the box, sometimes 9 (I was at the game) and it is hard to run patterns when you are in pass protection mode. Minny was very similar as Jake was running for his life for much of the game and didn't have much time to look for other WRs other than Smitty and Moose before he had to unload the ball or take a sack.
The Panthers schedule gets a lot easier now, with 4 of 5 at home and (ATL, KC, @TB, NO, AZ, @OAK, DET, @ATL) starting with ATL this Sunday. I think the Panthers offense will get on track this weekend and Rosario will see his share of targets.
If you can afford to sit Rosario for another week or two, I think he will reward his owners with some nice stats in the next few games, but if after two more games he is still putting up 1 or 2 catch efforts drop him at that point. The kid has definitely got talent and he will still be part of the Panthers offense, but when the whole offense struggles due to the Ds they are facing, expecting a repeat of Week 1 is not realistic.

But you can also say that SD has given up the most pts to TEs so far this year.Duke1948 said:
