Gerald Everett

3.3

(12)

"I was able to add both Everett and Hill...starting Everett this week"

"I pulled Everett and Taysom Hill. The latter sounds nucking futs, but if Hill is going to be thrown into various positions and rack up stats similar (even slightly below) to Sunday’s performance, I’m going to look like a genius for the $8 (out of $100) FAAB I spent for both."

"Think I’m dropping Okwu for Everett."

"Gerald everett if you are lucky enough hes not owned."

"If it’s ppr I can see the Everett appeal but for standard I’m all in on Taysom."

"Should I spend my #1 waiver on Everett or roll with Albert O and Irv?"

"Should I spend my #1 waiver on Everett or roll with Albert O and Irv Smith?"

"It’s between Taysom Hill and Gerald Everett for me to pick up from waivers"

"Its a no from me dawg, id rather gamble on everett or tonyan"

"Do I drop Tonyan for Everett?"

George Kittle

5.0

(7)

"Kittle & Pacheco."

"Traded Njoku for a 1st and picked up Kittle off the waiver."

"Dynasty league in year 9 now with $1000 annual FAAB. Picked up Kittle off waivers in 2017 for $1."

"I picked up and held (probably the most commendable part) George Kittle and Austin Ekeler."

"* George Kittle"

"Scooped George Kittle after he went undrafted in rookie draft"

"Preseason. Reading info tabs on random TE’s. This easy task lead me to Kittle and then Waller a year later."

Robert Tonyan

3.9

(8)

"I picked up ole Robert Tonyan the year he popped off."

"If I had to pick one I’d probably go Tonyan."

"If Tonyan is available, scoop him up"

"If you need a miracle, Tonyan has the upside."

"I'm gonna hold Albert O and grab Tonyan since I have Rodgers."

"Tonyan"

Taysom Hill

3.3

"I think Taysom is being underrated. Could still be involved in the pas game as A TE and there’s a chance he can consistently get redzone carries."

"Hill has a greater "home run" capability."

"I kind of like the Taysom look"

"I've picked up Hill as I'm not sure on Fant's production levels..."

"Taysom Hill"

"Taysom Hill anyone?"

"Taysom Hill."

"Taysom, Everett, Hurst, or Higbee."

Mark Andrews

4.5

(4)

"Mark Andrews. First year of the league and nobody was patient with TEs, scooped after his first 10 point game and been riding since."
