I have been holding him in a few standard PPR leagues mostly on I.R. and will have to move I.R. players to regular roster right after the Super Bowl.
It is a bit disturbing that he still hasn't cleared concussion protocol after this length of time. Also, if he does make it back, I would question if he is just one more serious concussion away from ending his career permanently. Would rather roll the dice on other developmental players that don't have his health issues.
Perhaps, but the jaw problem should not be a factor in the clearing the concussion protocol, or at least I don't see how it is connected.
Yeah if roster space is an issue I think it’s a tough call knowing what we know (or how unclear things are) now, esp on the concussion front.
I'm not ready to buy in that the jaw or any injury is still an issue, some stuff seems odd.
Dude, I want him to blow up more than anybody not named Mrs. Gathers but you're waaaaaay overhyping this guy. Let's see if he can muster up his first start in the NFL before we build his own wing in Canton.
I used the words ‘should’ & ‘upside’ which means I’m cautiously optimistic. I’m not crowning Gathers yet, but no other player in the dynasty stash category offers his upside. You’re too cautious if you’re not all in on Gathers (at least as far as FF is concerned).
Great news. Rico can be a real difference-maker. He’s one of those TEs that nobody, & I mean nobody, can match up with. He’s just too big & athletic. 6’6 285 pound humans aren’t supposed to be that athletic.
FREE lottery ticket. If a hit, then yeah!!!, if not, then no loss and back to the WW. I have him in 6 of 8 dynasty leagues and every one of them was a WW pickup. I think most dynasty owners obtained him this way, just as I did. So why not just hang on to see what happens?
Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers hasn't played a regular-season game in two professional seasons, yet he's confident Year 3 will mark his breakout.
He later added “how much you wanna bet I can throw this football over those mountains over there?”
Yeah, the only encouraging aspects in Gathers are his sheer athleticism and physicality. After all, he was 4th highest rebounder during 2017-2018 college basketball season (actually averaged nearly 5 offensive rebounds). But still, I dont really have a full faith in Cowboys' coaching staff.
This is the issue. He's not a typical TE, it requires some creativity to integrate a player like him and I have concerns that the Cowboys staff are the right men for the job.
Yep, that's why he's only going to see snaps in the red zone. But if its FF points he's the one to stash.
You have a fair point, but they're revamping their offensive strategy as we speak.menobrown said:
Interesting choice of words. It makes you wonder if he is hearing whispers or is frustrated with how last season played out.
