I do not understand the White – Mattison mismatch. Compare their college production. Wait, I hear some saying it now: “but Mattison ONLY played in the Mountain West Conference while White was in the SEC”. Then I’ll tell them, look at Mattison’s production (in the NFL) when he had a chance to play. So does conference (and “status” or “lineage”) weigh THAT heavily? I think the Zamir White love over Mattison is symptomatic of the “shiny new thing” syndrome.
In a vacuum, I could see a player vs. player comparison favoring the player from the more notable conference but every case is different and we actually have real, live production from one player.
Terrible advice to suggest trading 4 1st rounders on a rebuild for Kyler, Lamar, etc. just terrible. Hold on to those picks dude! At least see where they land. You don’t need a QB right now. You can always trade them later. But way, WAY too much for Lamar or Kyler. Mayyyyybe Allen or Herbert. Maybe. But definitely not now!
So I drafted both Pitts and Friermeuth last year in a single TE non-premium league with the thought of being able to use Pitts as my elite TE but also be able to flex the Meuth since we can flex a TE if I have a bad WR situation. I also have Brevin Jordan. I know it’s not two elite TE’s yet but should I be trading the Meuth if he rolls out hot this season based on not rostering two elite TE’s? Thanks as always! Great stuff!
Shane, while I appreciate your optimism, may I submit this as evidence to the contrary…
