I've got him and I"m not openly selling. The only threat I see is that Everett somehow makes a huge leap but it seemed like Higbee solidified his role as the TE1 on that team. I don't see his targets decreasing, but increasing.
I offered Jarwin and the 2.07 and was politely declined. I'm higher on Jarwin than most though. Just think Higbee is a top 5 TE this year and nobody really values him like that.
I would probably decline too but I"m not high on Jarwin. If I could have gotten a 2.02 or maybe 2.03 depending on who fell, I would have dealt him.
This is a valid concern. Higbee had two seasons in 2019:
Obviously there is a threat from Everett but on the other hand there are signs pointing in Higbee's direction.
This is pretty compelling.
Relative to his ADP I still like him. Some good points made, and I do agree there are red flags, but I’ve seen him go in the 9th. You’re choosing between Burst, Higbee & a couple others the. If Jarwin & Hurst are gone I probably take a chance on Higbee. I’d be surprised if the Rams completely forget how dominant he was down the stretch. I doubt he’ll average 11 targets a game, but 5-7 would make him a ~100 target guy in an offense that still needs weapons.
That's been his modus operandi up until Everett and Gurley were hurt at the end of the year last year.
When he was taken in round 5 I thought "That's too rich for my blood". Now - not so sure.
I concur. I kept two tight ends and cut Chase Claypool in one league I'm in because of this potentiality. You can say that Jonnu Smith and Higbee together have been great. You could also say that I kicked the can down the road and should have just cut Higbee, but the non-scheduled bye really put a crimp in things.
Between Higbee, Herndon, Jarwin and Hurst I have really laid an egg with my value TEs.
When value TEs don't work out, they nuke your season. Herndon has been extra invisible on the stat sheet. Jarwin is just massively unfortunate. Hurst I wondered about. Oh well, onward and upward, I guess. I'm glad I picked up Smith in that league I mentioned.
Glad I went with my TE early strategy in a number of leagues with Kittle. Even missing a couple games with him is better than these other losers.
Agreed. Van Jefferson seems to be establishing himself as the 3rd receiving option, but it's far from determined yet and a lot of passing volume to be had, as you say.
