Sleeper TE Call for Week 7 (1 Viewer)

[Jeff Pasquino]

Just a hunch here, but hear me out:

Evan Moore, CLE

4 catches, 84 yards last week from McCoy.

The Browns are missing Massaquoi and Cribbs this week.

Sure Ben Watson is TE1, but look for lots of 12 personnel (1RB, 2TE) or even 22 personnel for Colt McCoy.

Who else will catch the ball?

TEs vs. the Saints:

Week 6: KW2: 7-43

Week 5: Ben Patrick: 5-30

Week 4: Carolina, move along....

Week 3: Tony Gonzalez: 8-110-TD

Week 2: Vernon Davis: 4-78

Week 1: Visanthe Shiancoe: 4-76-TD

So, while not calling for a 100yd game or a TD, 4-5 catches and 50-65 yards seems reasonable.

I know some teams are hurting at TE, so just thought I'd try and help here.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

True, Saints have always had trouble with the TE's under Payton, this year especially.

Rookie QB; poor WR play; crowd noise on the road; possibly down early and for most of the game.

Yeah, might be.

 

[drew726]

what about Bo Scaife if Collins start?

 

[Sammy B]

Nice work.

 

[Harrassment Panda]

The Saints have given up some yards to good tight ends. But Evan Moore has like 20 catches his whole career. Not saying you're wrong, I just wonder what you see in him.

Stuckey

8 rec for 111 yards

 

[Harrassment Panda]

Stuckey 8 rec for 111 yards

I'd go with whoever is going to be matched up against the Saints' nickel corner with Porter and Gay both out. Maybe that is Stuckey, I won't claim to know the Browns' depth chart.

 

[TheChairman]

Considering he got 4 out of his 5 targets in garbage time last week, you might be on to something if this is a blowout.

 

[footballnerd]

Thanks for the plug in if Heap is a no go.

 

[r0llin_game]

Even though Evan put up solid numbers last week, Ben Watson's were better still with 6/80 TD I believe.

 

[Irish Chaos]

is quarles better than any of those options or should I look elsewhere with donald lee returning

 

[That Little Voice]

I realize he doesnt qualify as a sleeper at this point, but I think this weekend will be Aaron Hernandez' true coming out party. I expect SD/NE to be a very high scoring affair, and I do not expect Deion Branch to catch 8 or 9 balls again.

Thinking 100+ and his first trip to the endzone.

Really like this call and I think in deep leagues you have a shot to fill a spot after all the TE trouble so far this season. Careful with those homophones (I think that is what their called?), Jeff.ETA: I don't know the stats, but are the Browns more likely to run the ball against the Saints or are the Saints mor susceptible to the pass?

 

[valhallan]

This is an excellent call. The Saints do struggle covering TEs and no doubt Watson would get the defensive attention if they try to take one away. Moore has shown flashes of playmaking ability and it just takes a broken tackle or two to make a waiver wire sleeper come through big for you.

 

[RICK ROMO]

Have been looking at Moore. I picked up Heap of the WW after the MRI was neg and before his coach said he might not play. I have also been looking at McMichael-SD as well. Anybody have a feel for how he might do if Gates is out? Better or worse than Moore?

 

[the 'boys]

rank these TEs while Gates is injured...

Moore

Shiancoe

Heath Miller

2.5 PPR

what about pickup for next week?

JACOB TAMME this kid has talent. and we all know Peyton can find talent on the field.

I need someone this week but probably a good call on Tamme.

Good call.I just wish I would have thought of suggesting him before you made your call.

Ahem, cough, cough.

Hey Mac,

I don't know the stats of his ownership accross the fantasy landscape but in my league he was long gone.

If people are looking for a deep sleeper they might want to check out TE Evan Moore from the Browns.

His production pales in comparison to Watson but I think he will see more opportunities and that he will start to produce.

With Cribbs and Massaquoi both getting injured and with Moore coming back from his own concussion a few weeks back he might be a legit 'deep' sleeper to keep an eye and and I think he is available in most every league. He got hurt in the second game and didn't make a catch and was held out of the third game but he started out hotter than Watson but with Moore held out Watson was able to produce.

Check out the mirror production of Moore and compare it to the production I listed for Watson above.

- (first game against the Bucs) 3 catches for 87 yards

- (injured) 0 catches 0 yards

- (injured) 0 for 0

- (back but Watson took over as primary target) 1 catch for 24 yards and a TD

- 1 catch for 7 yards

- (in game where both Cribbs and Massaquoi get injured) 4 catches for 84 yards

Evan Moore was a WR in college and the Browns are splitting him wide and having him run deep routes and Colt McCoy is nailing those deep tosses down the sidelines.

I think TE Evan Moore is a legit 'deep' sleeper at TE and should be available in most leagues.

Jes a thought for those in need and if no-one is available on their wire.
