If you were like me, you were banking on this guy all year. I did not even have a back up TE on my roster... just assumed i would pick up a random on his bye week.

So how are you handling this on your team? who did you pick up? who is your backup? thinking of trading for someone? Anyone actually holding on to him incase he is back for the playoffs? As of right now i picked up Benjamin Watson for the week, clearly not a long term answer.

I traded for him two weeks ago. I didn't have a backup, just picked up Donald Lee. Hoping once some bye weeks come and go people will drop backup TEs. I'm gonna have to make a trade if not, I'm not starting Tony shefler(sp?) or Kevin boss every week for sure.

I was in the same position. I picked up Pettigrew from Detroit. His numbers are right there with Finley's. We shall see if he keeps it up though.

I wish Pettigrew was available, all that's left for me is Fasano, Scaife or Schefler. Hope someone drops a TE after this week

It hit me in all my leagues. Luckily I had already picked up Hernandez before the injury in two of my leagues and I had Keller in another. I should be okay unless one of them goes down.

I grabbed Hernandez the day the diagnosis came out. Luckily New England was on a bye and I dropped Brandon Tate and it didn't have to clear waivers. I was able to pick Tate back up from waivers.

Ridiculous, how many people in your leagues? TE is deep, there are guys available.

However, if you are in a 16-man league, and everyone has 2 TE's...keep an eye out on Michael Hoomanawanui.

quote:

Rookie TE Michael Hoomanawanui caught four passes for 53 yards and two touchdowns against the Patriots in Thursday's preseason game.
That production came in just one half as Sam Bradford's go-to receiver.


then week 1

quote:

Rams rookie TE Michael Hoomanawanui left Sunday's game in the first quarter with an ankle sprain.
Hoomanawanui caught one ball for eight yards before leaving while backup Daniel Fells came on to make four catches. The severity of Hoomanawanui's sprain is unknown.


now

quote:

Rams rookie TE Michael Hoomanawanui says his high ankle sprain is healed, and plans to play in Week 6.
The Rams kept Hoomanawanui on the active roster despite four-plus missed games after a promising preseason. He did flash an August rapport with Sam Bradford

Is Aaron Hernandez from N.E. or Tony Moaeki from K.C. free?

Thanks for the heads up on hoomanawanui. i think i will add him just to see what he does.

Hernandez and Moaeki are both already taken. It's a 12 team league, but from some reason TE's are hard to come by.

I don't have a back up either. I picked up Owen Daniels for this week. I'm trying to trade but everyone in my league is an arse who won't trade.

Owen Daniels is a guy to watch and might be available.

Like mentioned, Hoomanawanui.
Rob Gronkowski available? He might get some more run.
