Gronk unlikely to be back by week 1: http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/9582280/rob-gronkowski-new-england-patriots-unlikely-back-week-1
Pick up Sudfeld if you draft Gronk....who has looked good while Gronk is out.

Pick up Sudfeld regardless, reach for him imo. Potential value as a TE is much higher than whatever depth you were planning on taking in the last few rounds.

on a lighter note Ed Hercules Hochuli seems to have lost a lot of size...

On Lacy
FWIW I remember a couple of Packer beat writers saying on twitter that he was by far the best RB in pass pro (maybe a week or so ago on twitter)
GB's O-line seemed to get manhandled on obvious running downs. For example, 3rd & 1 on their 2nd drive, lined up in the I with Kuhn at FB. The 2 DT's for St. Louis drove the center and BOTH guards 3 yards off the line of scrimmage.
As a Bama fan I'll be stunned if Lacy can stay healthy all year, but when he is, he's filthy.

Sudfeld talk is getting a little out of hand though. He has had one 2 pt conversion. Other than that, every other catch has been with the backups in and from qb NOT named Brady.

Ignore the preseason then - hes lining up in practice the exact same way Hernandez was.
Hes starting the season as their receiving TE and when Gronk returns I see them sharing the field as a very high possibility. Its worth a reach imo just too much upside.
silentcoach
Footballguy
Worth a reach, sure, I can be on board with that, but some people currently act like it's plug and play with the guy.
I guess what I was trying to suggest is that the hype has increased DURING the preseason when nothing he has done during the preseason has suggested such the uproar in approval.
If you liked him before, and still like him, I get it. If you only like him because of the 2 preseason games, then I don't get it that much.

Are they trying to run Bell into the ground during his first game lol

Bell hobbling a bit after running that route

did i hear Bell limping off? oye.

Not to mention Bell also looks slow.

Bell looks like he doesn't know he is supposed to break tackles. I thought he was a strong runner?
Shutout
Footballguy
And would that be crazy? The number wasnt meant to be literal, just an example. They wear teams down and you start seeing lacy piling up end of game yards. Maybe he breaks off a 17 yard td, an 18 yard run here or there. I guess I really meant he is a good candidate to be one of tHose guys that compiles good numbers because of the way he would be used.

I think Jon Gruden might think Cousins is an OK player.

Jonathan Dwyer just matched his career production on one play.
msudaisy26
Footballguy
It is only 4 carries, can we relax here at the pool? His knee could be bothering him, or he could be like Doug Martin who looked lost last year for 6 games and the preseason, or he could suck? 4 carries isn't going to tell us though

Steeler O line looks like my Chargers O line.

my observation is the Steelers offense looks putrid

Footballguy
I was just going to ask... didn't he have that same play once or twice before? He is a good one.
steveski
Footballguy
Probably, but if he doesn't play another snap in preseason because of it, it makes it pretty easy for me to pass on him at his current ADP.

That tiny sample size means squat but I can already hear the sound of Bell's ADP tanking.

I thought Mendenhall played for the Cardinals.

I really hope Dwyer breaks a few, and people start thinking he's a sleeper.
Bob Magaw
Footballguy
i think he led nation in yards after contact in 2012...
different, smaller but strong RB, david wilson did in 2011.

Funny thing is Mendy actually looked pretty good.
Jonathan "the Hair" Dwyer is back you say?

I have drafted Fasano before as a possible sleeper TE. He was very disappointing. When presented with the choice I went with Kelce as I think he has the most upside. From what I saw of Kelce's blocking I was really impressed, and this makes me think he will see the field frequently. I am not sold on the receivers besides Bowe so I think there will be many targets to the RB and TE instead.Good point. Who knows at this point. They did sign Fasano for 4 years 16 million so I guess Reid (or the GM) did "like him." Moeaki was just recently cleared to practice (July 23) so it will be interesting to see how the depth chart plays out.Is Fasano going to start over Kelce and Moeaki? I can't see drafting him in normal leagues, but he'd be a decent safe play for best-ball leagues. He's only $2 in the subscriber contest...After 2 preseason games these are the later ADP players that stand out for ppr leagues

......A.Fasano.
Did I just write A.Fasano?!
Kelce is a wild card.
Rookie TE rarely perform well but to every rule there is also an exception.
Here is an article I liked about the situation - http://arrowheadaddict.com/2013/05/27/the-kansas-city-chiefs-and-the-tight-end-position/
I have not really been keeping up with news on how the competition has been shaking up however.

I thought Bell was supposed to be a power back? Wilson is elusive and has a strong YAC. And Wilson has shown he can perform in the NFL. Yet Bell is being drafted before him. Good luck with that everybody!

I have done 10 redrafts already this year and Bell hasn't went ahead of Wilson in even one, but way to over react on 4 carries

She also thinks 4 carries is a "heavy workload". I think she's just got a bunch of hormones flowing right now. Best to back away slowly.
