I either own one of these guys, or they are all available in 3 of my leagues. All 12 teams, standard scoring.

-Dwayne Allen: I'm guessing will be the favorite.

-Tyler Eifert: A lot of good reviews out of TC, but has been injured most of preseason. Shouldn't be out too much longer. I don't figure Gresham to be too much of a threat.

-Travis Kelce: Has lit up the preseason, but how many snaps/targets will he see in the Chiefs O? He's listed behind Fasano, but he shouldn't be too much of a roadblock. I'm guessing with KC's lack of receiving options, they'll utilize a lot of 2 TE sets.

-Tim Wright: Can he take over the Hernandez role? Had the most reception, yards, and TDs among rookie TDs catching passes from Glennon.

I'll usually roll with 1 TE for most of the season, but I want to get a jump on one of these guys before they break out. What do you think?

Only thing that worries me about Wright is that 1. it could take him some time to learn the offense, and 2. despite his decent rookie season, he had a pretty terrible TC with the Bucs according to accounts.

A guy in my Dynasty league (53 man roster, mind you) actually dropped Wright after he was traded. I put in a pretty nice sized bid for him.

There's two other threads on the same topic. Look back a few pages

Kelce

Tyler Eifert. I think he makes a huge jump this year. Especially early on since CIN doesn't have a legit WR2 right now.

evr'body needs to lay off of Wright. That trade was made to bring in depth, but people jump on that wagon as if it's heading to Frisco during the gold rush. I rank that list in the order you typed it in

Who would you cut, if any, on my team for Kelce (or any of these other guys)? I'm leaning towards Greene, but I think he is worth rostering until Sankey takes the #1 role, whenever that may be. 12 team, standard:

QB: Cam, Cutler
RB: Lacy, Bush, Rice, Hill, Blount, Greene
WR: DT88, K. Allen, Decker, T. Williams, K. Benjamin
TE: Rudolph

Why do you need a TE2 at this point?

I don't really. Like I said, just wanted to jump on one of these guys before they blew up. I'll probably just sit tight in the league for the roster I posted. The guys in that probably won't be too quick on the waiver wire.

TEs really have a cap on their value. You are better off uncovering a sleeper at another position.

Im not a fan of Blount, I would have no problem dumping him if I wanted to take a flyer on someone.

wright impressed me a lot in the last preseason game with the Pats, he picked up a lot in a half a week so he might be a quicker study than i thought he could be

still dont see him being someone you need to roster right now, and anyone dreaming of Hernandez numbers are out of their box
