Can we get a week 4 thread soonish? I want to ask about what TE to stream which means getting that TE via waivers

Sure.

1) Don't Sit Your Studs. You drafted them high for a reason. Let the player's ADP be your guide for the first 4 weeks or so.
2) Note your scoring settings. Is it PPR? Non-PPR? How many teams? Are there any wacky settings like counting return yards? Be brief but just specific enough for us to get the gist.
3) Present the options as simply and succinctly as possible. Don't write a novella about how you are on the fence about so-and-so because the weather conditions are yappity-yap and the guy defending him has a fungal infection. Get to the loving point so we can give our thoughts and move on.

I got one: Full Point PPR. Choose my Flex.

Kevin White vs. Det
Jeremy Hill vs. Mia
Tyrell Williams vs. NO

Leaning Hill maybe? But Williams has a nice matchup and Hill's been known to have, uh, week to week fluctuations in usage.

I wish I had an opinion about any of those guys but I don't.

My issue: I'm looking at streaming TE options. I currently have Jordan Cameron @ CIN.

Leperflesh posted:

Hmm, Clay is out there, but he's against NE this week, seems like a bad matchup.

What's on the waiver, in order by points earned so far this season (I just dropped Gates):

Cameron Brate
Marcedes Lewis
Trey Burton
Larry Donnell
Ryan Griffin
Demetrius Harris
C.J. Uzomah
Richard Rodgers
Antonio Gates
Virgil Green
Austin Hooper
Charles Clay
Lance Kendricks
Austin Seferian-Jenkins
Hunter Henry
Vernon Davis
Will Tye
Dion Sims
Brent Celek
Darren Fells
Xavier Grimble
Garrett Celek

It goes down from there. In the past I'd have grabbed Donnell, but he seems to be in a full time-share with Tye. There's a few other names on there but nothing stands out to me as being a definite upgrade on Jordan Cameron @ Cin. Richard Rodgers and Trey Burton are on bye, I've lost faith in Old Man Gates, and I don't see anyone else that really stands out, but then again I don't exactly study the wide world of garbage tight ends. Marcedes Lewis at home vs. IND?

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
Those are bad options but all better than Cameron, who is ruled out with a .....concussion.

I would go Brate who has some opportunity.

I would start any receiver with a pulse against NO in 1 PPR. If Hill has one of his multiple TD games this week, oh well.

Jesus christ the NFL.com interface sucks, it doesn't even show that Jordan Cameron is Out, even though it actually has the info on his concussion if you click on his name!

Anyway, thanks MrSargent. Brate is playing Denver though, I don't think that's the streaming option I'd pick for this week. Unless that defense is actually weak against TEs?

e. Hunter Henry vs. NO seems like a better option, yeah, assuming Gates doesn't play.

I'm leery of JHill's production being situational whereas after TB, NO gives up the next most points in the NFL. Tyrell.

Siemian is not for real, but against the Bucs he will be. They give up the most points to opposing offenses.

I just grabbed Henry in a league where I'm streaming TE. Great matchup and a decent performance last week.

ESPN .5 PPR

Im sort of at a loss here, not sure what to do

Starting
QB - B.Roths - @KC
RB - L.Murray @BAL
RB - C.Michael @NYJ
WR - J.Jones @Car
WR - D.Bryant @SF
FLEX - A.Jeffery @Det
-------------------------------------------------

My bench is pretty strong i think...but im not sure what matchups or people to target...

D.Jackson @ Cle
J.McKinon @NYG
T.Sharpe @Hous
Q.Enuwa @SEA
J.Howard @ Det

So maybe swap Enuwa or Jackson for Dez or Julio or Alshon? I felt really good about this picks but theyre all either banged up or have QB questions.

Murray apparently has a bad matchup and so does Michael....swap one for Howard or McKinnon?

QB wise should i dodge the KC secondary?

Tannehill, Dak, Siemian, Smith, Flacco, Osweiler all available

I have a poo poo sandwich choice this week with Cobb and Jmatt on bye.

For my WR/TE spot:

Kenny Stills on a thursday night game
or
Black Unicorn with gimpy QBs
or
Enunwa vs Seattle

this is PPR. I assume KStills is the choice?

E:

here are the TEs on waivers, WRs are picked clean.

Any of the top 12-15 names on that list would be better than owning Bennett. I'd start with Pitta. Or Graham. Or Rudolph.

I'm not touching Rudolph. So drop BU for Graham or Pitta.

E2: We have no dedicated TE spot, that's why there's TEs galore on waivers.

Oops, I missed Jimmy Graham on that list. He and Pitta are both way better options than Bennett, who is not worth holding in a league with no TE spot imo (or even in a lot of leagues that DO have a TE spot)

I'd say you probably have it right. However I personally would probably play Thomas over Alshon given the Bears trainwreck offense.
