I need a #2 TE, who should I get?

Question

Jeremy Shockey is my #1 guy, and I traded away Antonio Gates. I'm looking to drop a WR to pick up another TE thorough waivers. I'm looking at Bubba Franks, an OK TE who's performance will be enhanced by Brett Favre, or Donald Lee, a better TE than Franks, but who's performance may be downplayed by Rodgers' inexperience. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

a second tight end is a waste unless you are playing somewhere they allow you to start two. Better to get another running back or receiver. Try Davis from SF if he is available if you really need a tight end. Otherwise, look at what bye week Shockey is on and pick up a tight end that is playing that week, the best one available.Good Luck

Answer 2

LJ Smith. I'm telling you, he's gonna be a huge sleeper.

Answer 3

I like Donald Lee, but for a nice sleeper pick try Zach Miller out of Oakland. Hes there #1 . Last season, in only his rookie year, he racked up 444 yards and three touchdowns, which isn't that bad considering the guys he had throwing to him (Daunte Culpepper, Josh McCown). This season, there is no question marks at the quarterback position. Russell will be the starter the entire year, which shouldn't be a bad thing considering in the final game of the season, he found Miller eight times for 84 yards. I don't expect anything too special from the wide receiver position in Oakland this year, so expect Russell to look to Miller a lot this year when no one else can get open (of course that's in between all the hand offs to Darren McFadden and Justin Fargas!)

Answer 4

I would pick Bubba Franks cuz Brett Farve is throwing to him, and Donald Lee might not be very good cuz Arron Rogers still could be a bust. Bubba Franks is the safer pick.

Answer 5

Between those two, I'd go with Donald Lee. NY has Chris Baker and Dustin Keller, probably won't utilize TEs much anyway, etc... Franks wasn't very productive even in GB with Favre near the end. Never had many yards either.

I'd go with Alge Crumpler if he's available. People have forgotten about him and he's going to be Vince Young's favorite target.
