Wild speculation is wild speculation. I'm sorry but no one knows how the game flow will go on any given Sunday. If tb can somewhat show up there will be plenty of targets.They can run the ball on TB, so I expect them to install a conservative game plan with some play action. I just don't see 11 targets again
Already had him in that tierIf Benjamin is out for the season, I think he moves up into the Graham tier.
I don't even have Graham in the Graham tier after his trade to Seattle. He's being wildly overdrafted IMO.If Benjamin is out for the season, I think he moves up into the Graham tier.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I believe there is Gronk in Tier 1, nobody in Tier 2, Graham in Tier 3, and then Olsen, Kelce and Bennett in Tier 4.I don't even have Graham in the Graham tier after his trade to Seattle. He's being wildly overdrafted IMO.If Benjamin is out for the season, I think he moves up into the Graham tier.
As for Olsen, I might put him right up there alongside Graham if Benjamin's out for the year, but it hardly matters to me ... unless it's a TE-premium scoring league I still think all the TEs in the 2-5 range are going at way too high an ADP relative to the Ertzes and Walkers of the league.
right. and benjamin stepped up. to assume that olsen's stock should rise when there is risk in yet another rookie stepping up even bigger does not compute. at best, his stock should stay the same, at worst it should take a slight hit. my wooden nickel as an olsen ownerSame was supposed to happen last yrHomey's gonna be blanketed.
Benjamin was targeted 145 times last year to Olsen's 123 (up from 111 in 2013). Would it really surprise anyone if he gets 130+ targets this year?right. and benjamin stepped up. to assume that olsen's stock should rise when there is risk in yet another rookie stepping up even bigger does not compute. at best, his stock should stay the same, at worst it should take a slight hit. my wooden nickel as an olsen ownerSame was supposed to happen last yrHomey's gonna be blanketed.

Oops, should have said TE3/4 after Gronk and Graham. Maybe this bumps Olsen up a little, but I basically see him as the new Witten. Absolutely solid, but maybe without the crazy upside of Kelce (who could turn into the next Gronk).Don't see anything changing. He had a career year last season WITH Benjamin. I still have him as TE4/5 with Kelce.
Ertz is a gamble. Sure I have seen him fall far but his floor is TE 2 production. The thing is in these tournaments, people take risks and use certain strategies like waiting really long on a TE. It can work great if he does boom because you loaded up WR/RB. It looks like TE is the spot people are more willing to wait on than QB.I don't even have Graham in the Graham tier after his trade to Seattle.

I don't see 10 TD's. He's gonna get his catches though. Should be a great/solid TE1.Any projections for Olsen for this year?
140/100/1200/10 doable?
I've been trying to figure the breakdown for the Panthers receivers and I keep sliding numbers over to Olsen's column.
TDs are impossible to predict. He once caught 8 TDs on 60 rec in Chicago. Benjamin is vacating quite a few red zone targets. 10 TDs is definitely feasible this year.I don't see 10 TD's. He's gonna get his catches though. Should be a great/solid TE1.Any projections for Olsen for this year?

I'd go with his average catch rate the past 3 season - ~66%. That would give him 92 catches on 140 targets.TDs are impossible to predict. He once caught 8 TDs on 60 rec in Chicago.

What is very unlikely is him catching over 70% of his targets.
I think it is worth noting that two of his best games last year were the games Newton didn't play:
Week 1 - 11 targets - 8/83/1
Week 15 - 13 targets - 10/110/0
His career rate is 1 TD/11 rec, so yeah, that sounds reasonable. But again, there are some red zone targets looking for a home now that Kelvin is gone.I'd go with his average catch rate the past 3 season - ~66%.

At 12 YPC that would give him 92/1100. He's only caught more than 6 TD's once and most he's had is 8 so I'm hesitant to project him higher that 8.
92/1100/8 seems reasonable to me.
