Nonexistent so far this season, even when healthy. Is he going to be a top 20 TE this year?
Probably not.Nonexistent so far this season, even when healthy. Is he going to be a top 20 TE this year?

That says it all. Wilcox was the primary TE in a tight formation and Heap wasnt even on the field.I dont remember a single play where Heap was the target except for the one throwaway which was no where near him. He wasnt even on the field down by the endzone.
I wouldn't sleep on this guy! He's a stud!Signed, Vernon DavisNonexistent so far this season, even when healthy. Is he going to be a top 20 TE this year?
Unfortunately, those are my two dynasty league TEs.I wouldn't sleep on this guy! He's a stud!Signed, Vernon DavisNonexistent so far this season, even when healthy. Is he going to be a top 20 TE this year?
I'll settle for 20 receptions at this point.Is he going to be a top 20 TE this year?
i saw heap involved in pass blocking moreso than in other games. rookie qb against the steelers defense? makes total sense to me. i'm disappointed with heap thusfar but i'm willing to give him another game or two. i have him in a dynasty league and may drop him if he doesn't start to produce.Flacco seems locked on Mason and I don't see things changing until late season.

same here I really want to dump him but then I keep thinking about the other good seasons he had, is it over for good?saintfool said:i saw heap involved in pass blocking moreso than in other games. rookie qb against the steelers defense? makes total sense to me. i'm disappointed with heap thusfar but i'm willing to give him another game or two. i have him in a dynasty league and may drop him if he doesn't start to produce.Frank Black said:Flacco seems locked on Mason and I don't see things changing until late season.
so then the guy helped you TWICE! one for preventing you from drafting heap and then another for benching coles!?!?!? yikes.On a side note that no one will really care about, the guy who played me this week is the one who drafted him, so he thought it would be funny to play Heap in his flex this week ... except he benched Coles for him. Would have tied the game had he started Coles. Oops.
he's still ranked 7 in the dynasty ranking here, not sure if they need to update that or what.At this point in my dynasty league, I'd probably trade both Vernon Davis AND Todd Heap for a third round draft pick, but I doubt I'd get offered that.
yeah, they don't seem to update those rankings much during the season. Both Heap and Davis are ranked higher than they seem to be worth lately. Unfortunately, the people I'm trying to trade with don't seem to believe it either.he's still ranked 7 in the dynasty ranking here, not sure if they need to update that or what.At this point in my dynasty league, I'd probably trade both Vernon Davis AND Todd Heap for a third round draft pick, but I doubt I'd get offered that.
He was healthy last week. I'm a big Todd Heap fan and last Monday night, I really focused in on him, watching him even away from the ball. What I noticed is that he's staying in to block a lot more than he used to. The Ravens don't have the same team or even coaching staff they used to and it's obvious that the current staff just doesn't plan on using Heap as much as we're used to. Even when Heap goes out, I just don't see Flacco looking his way. He definately likes to go to his receivers and just hasn't formed the rapport with Heap that we've seen with other Ravens QB's over the years.Nonexistent so far this season, even when healthy.

That's an interesting comment, considering he made a superstar out of Antonio Gates in his system *catching passes*!Sorry to be late in this thread.
Heap has had come chances this season. He has looked like a guy who hasn't played a lot recently. He hasn't had many chances, but hasn't made the most of them, with drops and fumbles.
He has been left in to block a lot as well.
There was an article in the local rag this week about Heap. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/footbal...0,4508457.story
"When Heap walks through the locker room, his head hangs and his shoulders sag. He looks disappointed and frustrated.
There have been rumblings that the new coaching staff considers him "soft" for not playing through a right calf injury in the preseason. Maybe that's why the Ravens have been using Heap as a blocker more than a receiver this season as their way to toughen him up. (It has been estimated that he blocked on more than half of the Ravens' passing plays against the Steelers.)"
"The tight end in this system is a football player," Cameron said. "He's not a wide receiver; he's a blocker first. When you get labeled as that receiving tight end, everyone measures your contribution in catches. Todd's contribution goes way beyond catches, and we just need to adjust our thinking a little bit. As you see Joe [Flacco] grow, I would think Todd's role would continue to grow as a receiver."
Heap is a good player, not a great one. What keeps him from being is great is his inability to stay on the field, and IMHO his skill set. He is not big enough to be an beast in the middle of the field, like a Gonzo in this prime, and not quick enough to stretch the field. He is an okay blocker at best. He is a poor man's Todd Christensen.
....a rookie QB. This was expected. Started Olsen last week over him and it looks like Olsen gets the start until this sissyfied offense throws his way.Man, I want to cut him so bad.Heap of...
Since Gates, he (Camamoron) drafted Ted Ginn in the 1st round and Beck in the 2nd. Neither is anything. When did this guy fall on his head and damage his brain because he totally sucks at what he does now.That's an interesting comment, considering he made a superstar out of Antonio Gates in his system *catching passes*!Sorry to be late in this thread.

Bingo!Drafted Heap, then dropped him for Olsen, then cut Olsen for ................Heap and last night I cut him for (Drumroll please) Olsen. That's it, I'm done with him but I thank god that I'm talking TE 2 here. Considering each move does cost $$, I can't believe that even I did such tomfoolery.....a rookie QB. This was expected.
