My Week 5 TE Sleeper Shocker (1 Viewer)

Footballguy
For those who are having TE bye problems this week, I am here to save your week, hopefully.

Daniel Fells, pick him up.

 
Minnesota has been horrible agianst the TE this year, but McMichael is STL #1 TE and I dont expect STL to move the ball to well. There is only 4 teams on bye, so I would suspect there is about 28 saffer choices out their. In my opinion I would look elsewhere for your sleeper shocker.

 
Heath Miller against Detroit. It's a lock. I guarantee the Steelers will be inside the 5 twice, will show run, and will toss it to him in the end zone.

PPR Gold as well.

Hes avail in most leagues, redraft that is....unless your in a league with me! :goodposting: Every starting TE (Except Cooley, but hes a Skin) has scored against DET this year! Miller is a :IBTL: to score!

Owned in 76% of Yahoo leagues. Not much of a "sleeper"

Yes....but G. Olsen 1 rec-1 yard -1 TD......Shicncoe 1 rec - for 1 yard - 1 TD....Cooley actually has put up the most yards of any TE at 3-38....So Detroit has been bad at giving up TD's to TE's, but they haven't done much else. In my league, a 5-50 day with no TD's is better than a 1-1-1 day.

stafford/culpepper to pettigrew isnt exactly rivers to gates, and the stellers seem to have found their running game. Im expecting a very lopsided T O P for the steelers and 2/3 for 20 to 30 from pettigrew at best. Just M OI also like the othere side of this play in H Miller.

The Rams have been horrendous against the TE for about a decade. Start Shiancoe in every league you can. I am..

 
I'm rolling with McMichael during the bye.....He has the most targets of anyone on our ww. I think past targets combined with matchup gives you the best guess.

 
quick question. Is San Fran good at stopping the TE? I know they have willis and a few other playmakers.

That Gonzo matchup doesnt look all that gravy to me.

Kind of depends who you have as a backup or who you can pick up off FA but I don't see how you can bench Gonzo. He'll get his targets.

Yes, I see Ryan's prospects for this weekend as positive. He had 7 targets, 5 catches and 1 TD last week. Looks like Matt Cassel likes to throw his way as a security blanket. They will be trailing all day against a bad Dallas secondary. I won't call him a lock, but he has the best upside of the waiver wire TE's IMO. Especially for those Gates owners like me who were spoiled with his 9 catch 100+ yard, 2 TD performance.I'd be happy if Ryan produces 4/40 and maybe get a lucky TD. If he can get my team 8 FF points, I'll be content.

Can anyone tell me more about this kid? Seems like he has potential to become a regular target of Cassel's and I may drop Zach Miller for him.
 
Anyone think Mercedes Lewis can make it back to back productive games? SEA gave up decent games to Dallas Clark and Greg Olsen recently, and Jags pass attack is pretty hot right now.

 
Having a hard time choosing between McMichael/Fells, Ryan, and Pettigrew (I start KSmith)......anyone want to push me off one side of the fence?

I spose it's a crapshoot anyway.

Wondering this as well... I'm leaning toward picking him up to cover Gates bye.

I honestly don't know much about Ryan, as I don't have any illusions of keeping him on my roster for more than one week. My question is why on earth are you still holding Z. Miller? Dude has a concussion, is questionable, and playing a tough New York Giant defense on the road. Lot of decent choices already mentioned in this thread, any of them will beat Z Miller's ceiling for Sunday (2 catches for 15 yards).

Miller is my backup to Daniels so I'm in no rush to dump him for a one week matchup play.

I was torn between S Ryan KC & B Pettigrew Det for Blind Bid Waivers last night.

Went with Pettigrew but # targets were too close to consider any different (18 Ryan & 19 Pettigrew)

The matchup was the deciding factor for me.

Det vs Pitt (#27 Def vs TE)

KC vs Dallas (#15 Def vs TE)

Might not be much to separate them, but the Pitt Def can disrupt WR plans leaving the underneath/middle open for attack. Added that Polamalu is still out and the secondary will be trying to "contain" Calvin Johnson.

Excellent analysis, quite frankly I was too lazy to dig that far. What worried me was the target/catch ratio of 10/4 as opposed to Ryan's 7/5. Probably because Stafford was running for his life. But still, Stafford's health is an issue here going into the Steeler game. If CPep comes in, will he be looking to Pettigrew? I don't know. Steelers look like they have a killer instinct lately, and I think it will show against Detroit. I wouldn't be surprised to see a shutout. Dallas, on the other hand can't put away the weakest team. I see KC scoring 20 on them. Someone has to score. Maybe it'll be Ryan.

I too was on the fence with these two TE's. Really they both should get some reasonable FF points based on targets alone.

Oh, sorry..I had assumed you had bye week issues and needed a spot start TE.If you want a good sleeper TE going forward, look at CLE - Heiden.He is to Anderson what Royal was to Quinn.

Forgot to add Pettigrew only played in 3 games. So, his targets are better compared to Ryan's.

Hello. First post here. - Garrard has yet to throw a TD on the road this year. I am flying with Pettigrew... if T Pola is out.
 
I have Steve Heiden TE and Daniel Fells as my only TE's in a Dynasty 32 team league. (Sad huh). I think Kyle Boller just likes to go to Fells. Last game nothing went right for the Rams. But if D.Avery and K. Burton are both banged up. Even if they play they aren't going to be 100%. I say the Rams have to throw to someone. Fells has a good chance at getting some targets and maybe a TD. I mean Minnesota is going to pummell them.

But Andersen likes to go to Steve Heiden. So I'm torn.

Who would you guys start?

Heiden vs Bengals

or

Daniel Fells vs the Vikings.??

Thanks in advance.

 
theres not much difference between Detroits TE's Pettigrew and Heller's stats and not sure who's starting at QB for Detroit yet

I've picked up Ryan as a bye week filler

not sure though

in another leauge i have Gonzo or Miller to start thats one i'm not sure of

 
bump...I'm debating the following:

Pettigrew vs Pitt (54.9)

Heiden vs Buff (61.3)

Ryan vs Dal (45.3)

Shincoe vs Stl (53.7)

(numbers in parenthesis is YTD points scored by TE's vs that team)

Based on match-up, losing Braylon, and a renewed interest from DAnderson, I think I'm leaning towards Heiden but can be convinced otherwise.

 
Starting Scheffler as a bye week fill in -- dunno why, he's been horrible, but the talent is there, at some point he may become productive. Went with Scheffler over guys like Fells, Ryan and Heiden, but don't feel confident about it at all...
