I agree, but I bet most of those guys have been picked up in many 12 team leagues.
Adequate? NOPossible? YesFirst I think it takes more than one week of practice and playbook for Winslow to be into the Patriots systemBUT I do think he can become playable - they could have gotten a blocking TE if they wanted so they obviously want someone who can catch passes and Winslow seems healthy this year and is thus hard to cover for defensesReally a question of whether you have to roster spaceWhile I doubt most of the TE mentioned here are available (WTF is Rudolph available? or Bennett? Pitta gone in most leagues, Myers only a consideration for PPR leagues) you have to have someone else to start for this weekBut as they say - if you have the slot he is worth a shotAlso definitely means the Patriots think Hernandez will be out for closer to six weeks than possibly two weeks'jdoggydogg said:
Yep
Pitta was targeted 9 times in week 1, 15 times in week 2 (leads all TEs). I think he's a low-end #1 TE for the rest of the season, and it would not surprise me to see him finish top 6. He's athletic, has good speed, he has great hands, and Flacco seems to like him a lot.Who are you leaning towards?'Captain Quinoa said:
My gut tells me that Winslow will need a game or two to assimilate. But, as you mentioned, they could have signed a TE that's known more for blocking than receiving. I think Winslow has a shot at low end TE#1 numbers by week 5.
I'm going to add Brandon Meyers from Oakland. I think he is a decent replacement that is available in some leagues.Who are you leaning towards?'Captain Quinoa said:
Can't see that happening, not with that huge fork stuck in him.
I'm clearly confused about what the purpose of the AC Forum is. Seems like this thread is precisely the type of thing that is supposed to go there. Not a criticism of your choice of forums, jdog...just seems like the line has become so blurred and folks are tripping all over themselves to avoid and disassociate themselves from the ACF that it really should be blown up.'jdoggydogg said:
Longer than the 4-6 week timetable? No. That's anywhere from 28-42% of the remaining games left on the Patriots schedule which is plenty enough time that it merited making a move to shore up the spot.
Because he is a blocking TE.He can still catch balls as most people that are TEs can, he is just significantly worse at it than he is at picking up blocks.
Relative to your teams composition.I wouldnt trade Hernandez for Smith or Crabtree unless I was seriously deficient at WR.But im also not a buyer of either WR. When he comes back he will post similar numbers, Hernandez is no stranger to injury.
He does have athleticism and he does know Mcdaniels system. You could also make the point they brought in him and Winslow earlier and opted to go with him over Winslow.But the Pats OC is of course Josh Mcdaniels. When he took over the Rams OC position Illini Mike was on the team and he wanted them to draft Lance Kendricks because he wanted to be able to have a move TE. Indication to me being he did not think he had one already.
I hear you. I think a discussion about Winslow's fantasy value - or lack thereof - absolutely belongs in this forum. So I don't know how else to phrase the question.
Reverse the order of your subjects.Kellen Winslow Value, Hernandez owners input appreciated.I think its fine either way
I'd take it to the correct forum. This is not the AC forum and this is not a Hernandez trading thread.
Sometimes the forum search doesn't work. It wasn't working.
Maybe I'm biased because I'm in a Dynasty league, but I would want someone better than those guys in a trade.
Done.
I do remember that he had a decent camp in seattle and they stated they wanted to keep him but he wouldn't accept a paycut, even if he runs simple routes he'll be open most of the time and has good catching ability. People maybe sleeping on this.I can't find this and I'm interested.
he passed the physical and workout, I'm sure they put him to the test; thier probably going to give him as much abuse has he can take for 6 weeks and then release him
Here you go:
Disagree. They know they need another TE on the roster who can cover for AH if he's out. It's why they claimed Ballard but he is obviously a 2013 contingency plan. And it's why they signed Shianco but he's on temp IR. And now they have KW2. If he produces I doubt Shianco sees the field and KW is rostered all year even when AH is back.
You could have said the same thing last year about Laurent Robinson.
Except Laurent Robinson didn't have busted up knees. Winslow is fools gold. Enjoy.
