In non-PPR, I'd consider Witten nearly undraftable. He hasn't produced decent fantasy value with Romo under center since 2007.Witten hasn't produced decent fantasy numbers since 2007?Witten is 31, his yards per route run has been declining precipitously for the last four years, Dez is commanding a larger share of the offense, and the entire Cowboys franchise is teetering on the brink of a cap hell as bad as the one now facing the Oakland Raiders. In the last four years, Romo has thrown 96 touchdowns and just 12 of them (1 in 8) have gone to Witten, so I find it hard to expect a huge uptick in 2013 based on a few goal-line drills in training camp.Tanner9919 said:1st round is too early to select Gronkowski..a bad back, bad ankles, bad forearm, for a player who'll be triple covered now that NE offense is without 5 guys who caught 40+ passes each last season..defenses will key on Gronk and he'll be stifled by the coverage..
Jimmy Graham will be more productive , but the pink elephant in the room is J. Witten, who'll lkely see a huge uptick in TDs - just read whats happening in Dallas training camp, they're throwing to Witten at the goalline now..
and Witten is probably a 3rd round selection? money in the bank for who likely is the most consistent fantasy player,atleast in PPR, ever..
Witten is a mess of red flags, and I probably wouldn't draft him in a dynasty startup unless he fell to the 5th round, even in PPR leagues. In non-PPR, I'd consider Witten nearly undraftable in startups. He hasn't produced decent fantasy value with Romo under center since 2007, and history has been rather unkind to TEs on the wrong side of 30, Tony Gonzalez notwithstanding.
He was te 2 last year and te 4 the year before
In non-PPR, Witten was TE5 and TE6 over the last two years. In 2009, Witten was TE8. Witten managed to finish as TE1 in 2010, but he only did so because Romo got hurt and Witten was Kitna's go-to guy in the red zone- Witten caught 44% of Kitna's touchdown passes, but on average only gets 13% of Romo's. When you pay as much as Witten costs, getting middle-of-the-road TE production doesn't cut it.
