I am targeting Ebron late this year. He seems to have gone forgotten already.

Zach Ertz ($4), Dwayne Allen ($2), & LeVine Toilolo ($1) are all worth a shot if you have it in the budget late. I do like Ebron as well and I agree he may slip through the cracks a little.

This is where not keeping witten is on my mind figure;
Ebron,Rudolph, Reed, Eifert etc can all be had around the same price tag

Thomas, Graham, and who make up the big 3? Gronk is a train wreck that nobody should put big money into anymore.

IM not a big fan of carrying back up TE's just feel like you can hold a flyer on a young rb or wr and hope for a break out. You can always pick one off the waivers. Ofcourse this all hinges on league rules. Ive seen leagues where you must have a back up on your roster at all positions.

Or he could be a 1 year wonder. It's not like it hasn't happened before.

I would be really mad if I had to carry 2 kickers all the time. That's just terrible.

As long as Manning is the QB Id keep him, but still think you can get him with your 1st rd pick

That's how my 1 league is. We have a bench spot for every position.

Yeah, it was a guy I work with, the reason for it is you could only make like 6 moves or something ridiculous. Think he had a few guys get hurt and a few who had terrible years. League rules id never want to play with

I have a league with back ups at all spots. I don't mind it, because it stops people (like me) from hoarding other positions like RB.

Plus, we had that rule when we first started that league 21 years ago, pre internet days. Back when bye weeks were a disaster at times, including the time when there were 31 NFL teams and a bye every week.

Plus we use the back up kicker to break ties, since we force carry them. Again an old school rule.

I still don't like it. But then, I am kind of a hoarder when it comes to certain positions. I like to have options.

I hear you. The are a couple things I do like is it is a dynasty league. You can choose 1 player at every position to keep as long as you want.

So I have Cam Newton, AJ Green, Alfred morris locked up until i no longer want them.

You have to draft a rookie every year too and he is on your team for 2 years, which makes it interesting. I drafted Woods and Manuel last year. I have my choice of either

For me id rather take a shot like I did last year with Andre Ellington (my non keeper ) instead of having a back up kicker

I got hit with the injury bug bad last year, but it was one of those situations where guys weren't out long term, but you needed to put someone else in. There were weeks I barely had enough people healthy to field a full team.

I thought I would hate it, But i knid of like it. I got Cam and AJ both rookie years. Its like running your own dynasty. You have "Franchise players" I stand corrected we have 3wr spots, not 2.
