Long story short, I have no TE and need to pick one off the waiver wire. Best options are:

Noah Fant - Not very good, but shouldn’t have much competition as Dissly and Parkinson are gone.
Tyler Conklin - Should do better with Rodgers as QB.
Isaiah Likely - Best actual TE left, but a back up to Andrews.
Mike Gesicki - Was a beast in Miami for a few years before going to QB purgatory in NE last year. Should be the starter in Cincinnati and has a good QB in Burrow.
Cade Otton - Starter with low volume. Might get more targets after a good postseason performance last year. I don’t trust Baker Mayfield though.

I’m leaning Gesicki for the potential upside. What say the FSB?

I’d roll the dice on Gesicki knowing full well there is a considerable chance he gives you a goose egg.

Otton is probably the safest to get you some points at a minimum.

Is Zach Ertz available? He is on the waiver in all of my leagues and was just named the starter and may be a good safety valve for a rookie QB. If not, of the options listed, I would say Tyler Conklin.

Nope. Pretty much all decent options are gone.

He’s available, but I’d almost take Foster Moreau over him. He’s often hurt and doesn’t do a whole lot.

I think Conklin has highest upside. I'd roll with him first week.

Tyler Conklin

Is Dulcich on the wire? He might give a little value this year too.

Was he?

That said, of the ones you listed, probably him or Conklin.

If Dulcich is available, he's a sneaky pick. A lot of people were on him as a sleeper last year, but he got hurt. No one is talking about him this year. ETA: just looked at post above mine. Apparently someone is talking about him.

I waited way late in 2 drafts and picked up Conklin. I’m guessing he’ll have more than 0 TDs this year…

I had him 2 years in a row and before Tyreek showed up, he'd often go for something like 5 receptions for 29 yards and score a TD every 4th game.

Totally worthless in real life, but good for like 8 points in ppr fantasy at a position where there's only a few studs and mostly turds.

So you agree, he was not a beast. Correct?

Fant or Conklin

Likely is a handcuff not a starter. Godwin moving to slot will eat up ottens targets on seams etc.. gesicki is just a bum


Henry might be a target? The NE offense will be trash but he may just be the main dude.

I like musgraves upside

I’d vote Isaiah Likely. He was a beast when Andrews went down last year and supposedly the Ravens are going to be running more two TE sets. Not sure what that would limit his snap count to but he can find the end zone and should see looks in red zone.

Tell me you listened and took Likely out of your available options.
