Tight End
At this point, there isn’t a good gauge on who to pick at TE as the expected top performer; it really could be anybody.
Brandon Bostick is the most like Jermichael Finley used to be, at least in terms of big play ability; unfortunately he is still injured though is listed as probable.
Richard Rodgers has been the starter so far, but he is inexperienced and not good as a blocker yet (plus was injured last week as well); it would be tough to count on production from him until he proves otherwise.
Ryan Taylor is more of a special-teams guy. The best choice here is also the safest, but it would be a lucky and somewhat foolish gamble to bet on Andrew Quarless to have a major impact.
All in all, don’t look for there to be a strong contribution from any one player at TE. They may do alright as a group, but no individual can be foreseen as having a viable output in fantasy football.
Verdict: No viable starters
Prediction (as a group): 50+ yards
