I need a TE for the remainder of the season (my current is O'Leary and he is no longer relevant). Available are: Lewis, Dixon, Fleenor, Jesse James, Julius, Higbee, Griffin and Bennett. How would you rank the top few? Team #1 (No PPR, 12 Teams): 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 FLEX, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF Passing: 6 pts/TD, 1 pt/25 yds, Rushing & Receiving: 6 pts/TD, 1 pt/10 yds Starters: QB - Winston, RBs - Hyde, D. Murray, WRs - M. Thomas, M. Jones, TE - O'Leary, Flex - Kamara, K - Lutz, DEF - MIN Bench: QB - Wentz, RBs - Collins, Mixon, Rawls, WR - Davis, Juju
Rest of Season goes to J Thomas MIA. The rest are horrible. You could start Dickson, James and Lewis based on matchup that week - The heat-map is excellent for finding favorable TE matchups, perfect for people in your situation where you're really hurting and need a streamer every single week. Here is how you use it, plain and simple. Please refer to this going forward and if you need help between two I can give it a stab -=) I'm working on the load time for this page as its very slow but well worth that wait. https://fantasyknuckleheads.com/matchup-heat-map/ When you look at it just focus on the 2 columns for TE - The DVR is based on footballoutsiders.com DVOA metric - it measures/gauges how poorly a team does versus that position in terms of overall team production, no fantasy points. The next column is based on receptions and yardage allowed in terms of fantasy points. You're looking for a Green DVR and orange TE (blue cold, orange hot). Next thing I'd look at is DvP - which is defense vs position points allowed, just a couple more columns over. The DvP really helps hone in on touchdowns allowed in the past for TE specifically since this is where most of them make their hay. You can further breakdown the matchup by observing where the defense gives up the most production - via the air or the ground - which is just after the DVP - Combining the data you should be able to find yourself an under the radar sleeper pick at TE - But remember TD's are very hard to predict so you're just trying to get the guy that has the best possible situation based on how the opposing defense has faired in the past.
