Olsen had 4 catches for 48 yards on something like 8 targets in under a half in preseason game 3. That doesn't include a drop, and a gain called back for a penalty. I know, you can't count those, but you can look at the targets and read it as early proof that Cam is going to target Olsen all day every day.
Yeah, I'm actually pretty confused as to why he's ~TE20 in PPR. If he stays healthy I think he has a good a chance as anyone to crack the top 12. He had an absolutely insane rookie season (could have been historic) but has been plagued by injuries since. Still, as a dart throw I really like his upside.
Cowboys will need to throw a LOT this year. I think Witten is a safe bet for his usual decent production yet again
This is what I did two years ago on Julius Thomas and last year on Kelce.
You're that big of a fan of Eifert?
I'll snag one of the top 5 if the value is there, I recently got Olsen in my 12 team .5 PPR at 5.10. But I'm not going to be upset if I miss out on one of the top TEs.
My draft dominator is suggesting that I take Olsen as soon as the late 2nd round in ppr. 4th sounds just about right, you probably got a steal. As we all know, there are many 'upside' wrs and rbs being taken in this range and many will bust. There is literally no way Olsen busts unless he gets hurt. He will score anywhere between 8 - 20 points every week in ppr.
I feel like people say this every year, but I don't buy it. Of that list, I would put Walker and Eifert way above everyone else, Walker because he's more consistent, Eifert because he has a higher upside.
Yes, and it's even more likely that none of us will be able to forecast correctly who that person will be.
So Eifert, who has done nothing so far in his career should be way above the others? Why?
Of course you're then starting Marvin Jones in the same spot others are starting Julio Jones.
1) I take a lot more backup receivers than backup tight ends, so it's a lot easier to hit on one of your late wr picks than one of your late te picks. 2) if you're weak at wr, you tend to use a committee approach, and playing the hot hand at wr can be more productive than playing one guy all year simply because a guy like sanu is more valuable when Marvin Jones or aj green is out and is never going to start for you when they aren't.
Well, like I said, my post was more about the necessity of making those determinations then the determinations themselves, but since you asked ...
So you can without a doubt say that Tyler Eifert will finish in the top 6? I can't. Would it shock me if he did? No.
I agree. This was my strategy for my 12 team PPR draft last night. Got Walker in the 8th and then Eifert towards the end. Hoping for solid production.
We're on the same wavelength. Walker/Witten are at the bottom of my acceptable TEs. I'd love to get Olsen or Kelce, but won't reach for them. I'd love to get Bennett in the 6th or 7th, and thought he was a sneaky good play even before White's injury, which only increases his value. I think Eifert and Cameron are the two middle-class TEs with the most upside (but Cameron's injury risk scares me). And I want no part of Ertz or Rudolph. The former is basically last year's Kelce with less talent and a bigger road block to increased snaps, and the latter has a track record of flashing but never putting together a full, healthy season.
