[Dynasty] Aaron Hernandez (1 Viewer)

[Thumper]

Word out of NE is Hernandez is limping badly as he left the locker room. I really need Hernandez, he's been great for me. Let's hope he's all right.Did anyone see the play when he got hurt?

I could be wrong but I think I saw him hurt it after a catch while they were in the hurry up; he continued to play 2 or 3 more plays and then we didn't see him again. If it is the play I think it was it didn't look like anything much when he went down (while being tackled).

It doesn't sound like anything too serious. The Pats had him listed as probable to return to the game after the injury. Good luck trying to figure out what the Patriots are thinking in regards to his injury, but it doesn't sound like a major injury at this point.

Never said it wasn't going to be a good year for the Pats O. no team in the history of fantasy football has had two top TEs...I'll stay with history

Aaron Hernandez isn't used as a TE though - he's used more like a bog slot WR. If the Pats run two TE sets as their base offense it isn't all that hard to imagine.

He's probably the best WR on the Pats roster, if you're selling on him you're making a big mistake. He's a match-up nightmare, most safeties and corners have trouble covering him, forget about LB's. The only downside on him that I've seen is the occasional mental error and his tendency to fumble.The funniest part of this thread is Norris is STILL telling people to sell. You were wrong, eat the crow and move on

Sell sell sell!

Please sell him to me.

No problem starting Gronk and him each week. Championship.

SELL HIGH on Hernandez unless the Pats are going to be the first team in the history of fantasy football with two top 10 TEs.

Last year in NE down? Gronk was top 5 and Hernandez was top 10 in many formats.

I think there is a chance they both finish in the top 10...i was listening to an espn talking head and he broke down why the two TE set is so devastating when a qb like brady is at the helm. They dont have a weak side to the line as hernandez can be on one side and gronk on the other. Great running formation obviously. But when they run no huddle, the defense cant change personel-brady can split them out wide and they will be mismatched...Anyhow first time in history for two top 10 tes isnt unrealistic. Because no other team in history has run a two TE formation as much as the pats-with two TEs that are part of the evolution of the athlete at this position-with arguable the best coach and qb to take advantage of this. last year zach miller was 685 and 5 tds-brady is chucking the ball great...685 doesnt sound that difficult at all. the real question is can one be a top 5 and the other be a top 10. That is the real debate-all this barring injury of course as hernandez mgiht be out 4-6 wks now...so i guess we are arguing abuot nothing.

Bump Welker until Hernandez gets back

Why is this the question? In standard scoring leagues last year- as rookies- Gronk was top 5 and Hernandez was 11, and Hernandez was within 2 points of being number 9 . So, for all practical purposes, they did this last year.

He's quickly becoming the Danario Alexander of TEs.

God I hope some person like you sells him to me in the one league I don't have him, because he may be out a week or two..4-6 is possible but unlikely. I love how you're trying to jump on the injury like you saw it all along in your reasoning to sell. Your entire point was that Gronk is more talented so Aaron won't see enough to be viable. You were wrong then just like you're wrong now. Get off it and just eat the crow.

Are you high!? Go back and read your OP. It's about time for you to waddle up to the trough. You said he's a TE 16 and he's currently TE9. That includes the two games he missed and he can easily move past Pettigrew, Finley, and Vernon Davis to the 6th best TE after the week is concluded. His PPG average has him at the 5th best TE. Two average weeks in a row and the sky might as well be falling in norrisville. They're still easily on pace to be two top 10 TEs in the same team. Something that you argued in another thread would be impossible. You were wrong then and you're still wrong now.

 

[griff321]

Maybe the better term is sell at a loss but I believe people will start dropping him this year

My expectations were that he'd be the Finley type TE to Gronkowskis Donald Lee/Shelton Quarless now that, that is obviously not the case he's looking more like a Fred Davis type or a Martellus Bennett ie a backup TE with very little value.

How many teams have two productive TEs?

You were way off and it's laughable that you're trying to call me out to eat crow.

Isn't it common knowledge that

1) They don't really play the same position

2) 10 games of statistics is not an adequate amount of time to definitively conclude this debate one way or another

Exactly, the second half of the season is just getting started. I'm only responding to the bump, but in the end he could very well fall out of the top 10. I do think it's not too early to say that he isn't just a backup TE like Bennett clogging my roster to the point where I'm ready to drop him.I would even say that his dynasty value is significantly higher than when this thread was made. Has anyone else made deals for him lately? The one league I don't have him the owner isn't budging off a very high asking price.

He's TE5 in my league when sorted by avg FP/game.I agree with the bolded.

If you 'sold high' in march you probably got bad value.Now you bump it b/c of last week? He should've had 2 tds on MNF (one easy one dropped and one actually caught but called back on penalty" Not many TE2's getting multiple red zone targets each game.regardless of semantics your premise was that he wouldn't retain his value b/c gronk was infinitely better and no offense could support two TE's. That premise has for all intents and purposes been thoroughly debunked. And yet you keep chirping every game that he doesn't put up 10+ pts.

fwiw just looked up targets. In Targets per game Gronk is TE3 and Hernandez is TE5.

It's not 10 games, it's 26 (last year and this year).It's 100% clear that his value now is higher than in was in march, as he has proven himself not to be a 'one year wonder' as the NFL is littered with TE's that had one great year and 1-5 more thoroughly mediocre ones.
