Jacob Tamme TE (Any Dynasty Value at all) (1 Viewer)

[jacobo_moses]

Does anyone think Tamme is worth rostering in a 32 team league as a backup TE? With the off chance that he gets traded or gets used in more 2 TE sets? Just seeing if anyone thought he held any dynasty value the next few years.??

Thanks.

 

[Banger]

His value is due to Manning. I don't see him getting traded and while he may get on the field more than previously if Clark is healthy it's his show. I'd say his value is minimal.

 

[TheWick]

If the 33 year old that plays in front of him gets hurt he will produce as a top 5 TE...what value do you put on that?

 

[Jersey35]

Seriously? How can anyone think he has little-to-no dynasty value?!?

Put him on your roster.

 

[Concept Coop]

Yes. He is worth a roster spot. Yes, I think Indy will use him more.

From weeks 8-17 when Tamme played, he put up 67/631/4. That was good for the second most fantasy points by a TE over that period of time. For a bit of perspective, that projects to 107/1009/6 over 16 games.

As someone mentioned earlier, he'll be backing up a 33 year old Dallas Clark in 2011, then be a Free Agent in 2012. He may be a wasted roster spot in 2011, but I think there's plenty of reasons to hold him.

Its possible we may look back on the second half of 2010 as the perfect storm of events for Jacob Tamme. Even if that is true, he's shown he's a capable pass catching TE.

In my opinion, they would be wise to start moving eggs into Tamme's basket. I don't think he is as good as Clark, even at their respective ages. But Tamme showed he can be a go-to-guy in a Peyton led offense. He is the younger/cheaper option and I wouldn't want to let him walk for a (by then) 34 year old Clark. Granted, Clark is a team favorite and cutting ties with him would not be an easy thing to do, for reasons aside from football.

Tamme was a terrible blocker. While he has pass-catching ability, he will not see the field much in 2012. I think everyone realizes that the value of Tamme was due to the fact that Peyton was the QB. I'd expect the Colts to draft an athletic TE with blocking ability in this year's draft, (along with some offensive linemen!)

 

[Sweet Love]

It is beyond a no-brainer. In a 32 team league, there is a chance someone was starting a guy like Daniel Fells or Dante Rosario IF a TE is required (I do not believe you mentioned whether a TE is required). Either way, I still think Tamme is worth rostering even if he splits or plays backup to Clark all season long. He'll still end up with better numbers than TEs 28-32, with the upside of a TE 5...how can you not like that?

 

[FTRWRTR]

In my ppr, dynasty league I was able to get mike thomas for hm(te's get 2 ppr) so he definitely has some value to ppl. My guess is he'll have more NFL value than ff value next year but after that he'll be someone to have on your roster.

 

[Illegal Pants Downfield]

Yeah - I own him in my salary cap league, and, while his cap number is higher than his value for me right now, I'm planning on holding at least until 2012 to see what happens.

As someone above me mentioned, this seems a silly question for the OP's 32-team league. Given his performance in the 2nd half of 2010, even with Clark back healthy, I can't imagine a scenario where Tamme wouldn't be considered a top-64 TE...

in a real 32 team leauge, he's startable, even w/Clark back. Yes.

 

[Shutout]

Agree with the above and will add:

I think next year you will see tamme used in the offense, perhaps they split him out as they do Clark sometimes and, now that Tamme is somewhat known, they could put him on one side and Clark on the other and then let Peyton work his magic moving people around. I would think it would potentially be very effective as a ways to either keep the defense seriously unbalanced or to have to declar to Peyton which side they are setting up for.

 

[mcintyre1]

I'm wary that Tamme will stick for another year only to be thrown to the curb. If the Colts draft a receiving TE this year, doubly so.

 

[Fear & Loathing]

This thread is in for a reality check next season. Tamme won't catch more than 15-20 passes -- and even that is on the high side -- if Clark stays healthy. He's not going to be used in two-tight end sets because he's a horrible blocker. Though he does have nice hands, he's good for nothing after the catch ... compared to Clark, who is still strong after the catch.

Without Manning and the Colts offense, his value is very low. Even if he leaves as a free agent, he's not nearly the player that a guy like Tony Scheffler is.

I own Tamme in two different 12-team leagues with 25-man rosters. I fully plan on ditching him to make space for the rookie draft this offseason.

That said, in a 32-team league, he's definitely worthy of a roster spot if only for the handcuff factor.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Yes. He is worth a roster spot. Yes, I think Indy will use him more.

Use him more than what? They're not going to use him more than what we're used to, which is being the starting TE and producing top 5 to 10 TE stats.They will use him less than what we saw during this season but I could see him in there at times giving Clark a rest. I know dynasty guys love stashing players so yes, stash away. He showed some ability last year so that fact alone should keep him rostered when Peyton Manning is the QB.In redrafts that don't have any special bonuses for scoring and say 18 rounds of drafting for 12 team leagues, I wouldn't even draft him. At this point he's a backup TE that has potential if the starter goes down.

I agree with this.I'd consider him a very valid stash for large-roster dynasty leagues.But probably not worth a roster spot at this point for smaller dynasty leagues or redraft leagues...more of a 'watch and see'.

With all due respect....as I enjoy your writing...but I have to disagree here.The OP asked about a 32 team league. Most 32s end up with teams stuck with goose eggs like Reggie Kelly, Evan Moore, Delanie Walker, Dante Rosario, Jeff King, etc as starters. I don't believe your experience and example in a shallow 12 teamer is applicable to the OPs question. Heck, in your league I'd drop him too!

If most 32ers keep two TEs....the question is Is Tamme one of the best 64 TEs in the league and worth keeping? I don't see how the answer is anything but yes when compared to the Matt Spaeths' and other types at TE64.

He's definitely worthy of a roster spot in deep leagues.

I missed the last sentence in your post, F&L. My apologies.
