J Stevens - TB

J Keller - NYJ

D Lee - GB

who looks to be the best value from here on out & why ?

 

[EFD]

I have Winslow on a bye the week after next so I'm picking up a TE now. Based on what's available in my league, I'm rolling with Stevens.

I'd rank them;

1. Keller

2. Stevens

3. Lee

Keller is the most talented of the group and I think he has the highest upside. He not only has talent but he has a QB in Favre who has a proven history of throwing to his TEs - especially in the Red Zone. I know the Jets were in passing mode for much of last night's game, but Keller got a lot of looks in the Red Zone. I think that bodes well for him going forward.

Stevens is who he is. I don't think he changes much at this point. He'll have some good games like he did in Week 3 but I don't trust Griese to help him get points consistently. I do like him this week against the Packers. Green Bay has had issues stopping TEs dating back to last season.

Lee doesn't seem to be as involved with Favre gone. The Packers are using more 3- and 4-WR sets and that keeps Lee out of the mix. He's pretty much a guy who gets 2-3 catches a week, 30-40 yards and that's it. TDs may be tough to come by for him this season.

On a sidenote, the talent at TE really stinks this year. If you don't have one of the few top-level TEs (Witten, Winslow, Gates, Gonzo, Cooley and I'd include Owens - Shockey and Clark would be there when healthy), you're stuck playing the matchups each week.

It's D Keller. He's the easy call in dynasty. Redraft, I guess I'd go with Stevens if I needed someone for this week, and I had no scruples. He's coming off a 2 game suspension, and he's screwed up so many times before, I wouldn't trust him for the long haul. They did cut Ben Troupe before activating him, and it doesn't look like Alex Smith will ever amount to much, so there's not a lot of competition there. The lack of talent at WR is a plus, as well.Dustin Keller is the backup to Chris Baker, and it'll probably stay that way. He should outproduce Baker fantasy-wise because he's a better receiver but he won't be on the field as much because he's not nearly as good of a blocker. Favre did look for Keller 3-4 times in the red zone last night, including the TD, so he is getting more involved each week. If you need someone for the rest of the year, I'd gamble on youth and upside, and go with Keller.I think Favre made Lee to a certain extent. And Rodgers seems to have forgotten about him. He'll have his moments, but there's too many good WRs there, and they run too many 3-4 WR sets, for him to make much of an impact.

Are you talking Owen Daniels?

 

[packersfan]

Whoops, sorry about that. Yea, I meant Owen Daniels.

He's from Wisconsin too. No way I should've screwed his name up like that.
