How long before this becomes a "Colston is a TE in my league" thread?

Oh to answer the question...

Gates

Winslow

Crumpler

McMichael

Shockey

 
Witten won't be top 3. Maybe not top 5 either.
You're in the Cowboys game thread, so I'm not sure why you don't agree. The guy is very talented and, with all the pressure going to the WRs and outside of the field, Witten should be free to work in the middle. I don't see any teams coming off TO to guard Witten and LBs can't cover him.Not top 3? Okay, I'll give you that without a fight. But it's not going to be hard for Witten to be top 5 from here on out.

I own LJ Smith, & as much as it pains me to say this, I think he can be removed as a top fantasy TE. He just isn't getting it done like I thought he would. IMO, the "top" TEs for the rest of the year are:GatesHeapCrumplerWinslowShockeyWittenDesmond ClarkJeremy Stevens

I don't see Witten in most of the top threes being posted here so far. He has three catches for 25 yards tonight in the first half (time of this post), which isn't exactly setting the world on fire.
 
I know Gonzo is still playing over a hundred for the second game in a row. People have forgotten about him.

I don't know about top 3, but as a Witten owner I'm pretty happy with 3 for 25 and a TD in the half. :thumbup:
 
Heap (very consistent scorer)

Gates ( highest potential game in game out)

Crumpler (as long as Vick is still allowed to pass)

 
surprised Winslow isn't getting any love - in ppr leagues he could end up being the #1 TE this year. The guy has been money.

Me too. I'd rather have Winslow than Witten. In fact, I drafted Winslow in all my leagues well after Witten was gone.

I'm sure you are... it was his first and only TD this year. To his credit though, he did get in on a series of catches again around the end of the 3rd and had a good night. I just don't think that is indicative that he'll be a top 3 TE the rest of the way. But I agree he'll be better than he has been so far this year.

The point is you were actually going on a half of football, is all...and a good one at that. Too funny.

Seems like the people predicting Witten to become a top TE now were going on even less than half a game. :shrug: I'm just trying to be more realistic. He's done very little before tonight. I've agreed Romo seems to be providing a spark, but I think a lot of people here overreact a lot.

I'm not talking about where he's going. I'm talking about jumping to a conclusion half-way through ONE game, which ironically enough was indeed a good half.You think people are overreacting, which is fine, but you did the very same. Hilarious.

Well I am keeping my views in line here with the thread topic of top 3 TEs the rest of the way. I don't get why it's hilarious to point out that he didn't suddenly explode onto the scene enough to back up those thoughts which were seemingly initially triggered by 3 receptions for 25 yards in the first half. Sorry for the redundancy there. Maybe it was his first TD that caused these overreactions. It's week 8, so it's about time he got one. He should get a few more by years end. Enough to make him a top 3 TE? I still doubt that.

Maybe I should have just created a list like others instead of going for something a bit more ambiguous. Here's a quick list...

(1a. Colston)

1(b). Heap

2. Gates

3. Winslow

4. Crumpler

5. Gonzales

Witten fits in right about 5th here for me. Just another way to again say I don't see him as a top 3. Is that better, or am I just wasting my time and still going to be laughed at for my contribution?

ETA: Honorable mention; I can see Des Clark right around this #5 spot also.

First off, my league requires 1 starting TE everyweek. We get 3pts for 5 rec. and 2pts for each 2 rec. after that. 3pts for 50 yds rec. and 1pt for each 25 additional yds rec. 2 bonus pts for 100 yds,200yds etc. 6pt TDs.

Gates by a decent gap, 120pts + on the season

Todd Heap/Alge Crumpler 100-110pts

Tony Gonzalez 85-95pts

Winslow/Shockey('when' he comes along and does what he should) and maybe Witten if Romo works out "maybe" 75-85pts

then followed by the TE's that will be fighting for the 'other' half of your league.

Randy McMichael/ L.J. Smith/ Chris Cooley/ Heath Miller / Ben Watson/ DesMond Clark/ Dallas Clark....that are worthy to start in a 12-team league, but are likely to chip in consistantly for your benefit. 50pts or below.

I was in Witten euphoria at the time pf my intiial post...

He should be top 5 not top 3

In week 7 he was targeted 5 times in the second half. We all know what he did last night (6/80/1 TD)

Witten is for real with Romo in there.

I still say to trade for him now as it is easier to get him than anyone ranked above him and he has a lot of upside based on 1 and 1/2 Romo games
