Pitts, McBride, Kincaid, and Bowers as my top drafted TEs. Hit the draft button on McBride in the early 4th and immediately 3 to 4 TEs came off the board right after. As Sean said, felt good to be the avalanche rather than getting caught up in it.
Getting pitts past ADP is always a treat too. Great little article today Ben!
I’ve got the 11 slot in my most important home league, and I’m consistently torn between these two combos:
1) targeting London at the 1/2 turn and McBride at the 3/4 turn
2) drafting Gibbs/Harrison/Olave (ie a non-London WR) at the 1/2 and Pitts at the 5/6
I really want to be in on the ATL offense this year, and Pitts feels like the much better value (though obviously with his risks, though with the important callout that I’ve never had Pitts on a fantasy team and thus don’t carry and sting with him). That said, I love that first pairing, even if the “value” isn’t as strong.
I don't even really have great thoughts on the tradeoffs! It feels like two very legitimate paths. I guess I wind up taking McBride early just to lock someone up fairly often, but giving yourself the value shot makes sense.
I will say I have zero concern about stacking London and Pitts, because I think they are both bets on similar stuff around Atlanta's offense — increased passing, Cousins elevating the catchable target rate, concentration of the offense, etc. If London is a hit at his cost, to me that's a situation where I feel like it's more likely Pitts is also a hit.
Pitts, man. If not for Pitts I'd not have ground the wire for McBride, who saved my season last year.
I think there's a lot of Pitts fatigue from the guys that liked him the last couple of years. I think that round or two discount will be there for sure...and I'm here for it. Gotta take the post hype swing!
I'm going to be better about staying up with the ATL beat writers though. I was woefully undereducated about the severity of the right knee issues during camp and into FFB draft season. Didn't really think it was that bad.
Appreciate the effort as always and I've been really enjoying the pod/youtube ETE series alongside your usual show with SS.
TE‘s are really getting priced up in my league and I know whiffed on McBride and Kincaid. I have Pitts still sitting there in the early 5th. Should I risk missing on him and having to draft the likes of Engram or Njoku in the 7th, while drafting Tee Higgins or Tank Dell (though I already have Nico Collins)
I'd probably take Pitts in that situation, personally, if you already have three WRs and with the expectation you'll have more WR value in the future rounds if guys like Tee and Tank are available here. I do really like Tee and Tank, but their availability here is a good indication you'll get plenty of WR depth from this three WR start forward.

I think you're going to be really happy with those TEs. That's the way I'd love to have my exposures lined up, too.

Would love your thoughts on the trade offs here!

Is there an excel like version of your rankings, where we can make our own adjustments and notes?

Ben if ayiuk trade gets done, would you rather take Deebo or London/Olave with 2nd pick?
That's right where I'd rank Deebo. I'd go Deebo > Olave, but be closer with London.

WR-RB-WR-WR start so far
