I passed on some bigger TE's cause I felt like with the loss of Jennings, he could have big year. Anyone else a little higher on him this year than in years past?

For someone who always has a lot of promise, he seems to let you down.

He has looked good this preseason, but see above statement.

after two years of "he's going to be the best TE in football" from peter king and the other morons who cover the NFL, Graham and Gronk made him an afterthought

He sucks as a player, a person and in any other way possible. frick that guy.

on one hand, he did have 61 receptions last year which is the most he's ever had. They want to get him involved in that offense.

but on the other hand, I really believe Eddie Lacy will cut into a lot of the WR's/TE's TD's this year.

and, Finley has only had one season with a noteworthy production in the TD dept. with 8 back in 2011.

he was praised by Rodgers and McCarthy during training camp but I don't put a whole lot of stock into that. I mean if we bought that line every time, this kind of stuff wouldn't be fun.

But I took him in a league this year. Hoping for a similar season he had in 2011.

The loss of Jennings really doesn't matter when they still have Nelson, Cobb and Jones to throw to. I think he is an acceptable TE1 with a lot of upside if they focus on getting him the ball in red zone, but Lacy hurts those chances.

Pessimistically optimistic.

I wouldn't look into that too much. There's a reason for that.

Nelson and Cobb were hurt for several games, so Rodgers' main options were James Jones and Finley in the preseason.

Jermichael is French for disappointment.
