STEVEN said: Yeah I hate point chasing, but pretty hard to ignore the targets and how involved Cam was keeping him. I am likely to sit Njoku and play the Mon night wild card with IT! Same dilemma for me too as Njoku has been terrible lately. Thomas and Brate look like better options this week right? Link to post Share on other sites

Lucius Seneca 32 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I really like Ian Thomas this week. This guy is a big time prospect with his size, athleticism, and hands. With Cam's arm strength issue right now, Thomas should see a lot of targets. Let's hope he sees red zone looks -- could lead to a monster game. With New Orleans focused on McCaffrey, Thomas could easily shake loose for some big gains. Link to post Share on other sites
Lucius Seneca 32 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thomas' targets from last week. Very close to a TD and he's a central part of the play-action game. Very impressive agility and a load to take down in the open field. [deleted link - NFL blocked it] Link to post Share on other sites
coleworld7 50 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 never thought i would be starting an unknown TE in playoffs but can't be worse than burton's 3-4 points lately.. Link to post Share on other sites
BGDDYKWL 1,130 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Always a little tough starting a relative unknown in the fantasy playoffs, but this guy is a solid low-end TE1 this week. In terms of where he ranks, while a guy like Brate has been productive, he's TD or bust. I'd prefer Thomas and all of the targets. The TDs will come. Link to post Share on other sites

Start Brate and risk a 1.5 against a stingy BAL D, or go Thomas. Im leaning Thomas as well. Oddly, Moore Samuel and Thomas all may be playable in PPR this week....they were last week.

Went w Brate last week and was lucky he got those two TDs. Would have been pissed if he didn’t while seeing all of Thomas’ PPR points on my bench. This week I’m leaning Ian over Brate but the NO matchup concerns me as they’ve been solid vs the TE position all season. Link to post Share on other sites

NO linebackers can cover. Im torn between him or burton. However, burtons snap share decreasing since the return of Shaheen. Link to post Share on other sites
Lucius Seneca 32 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Last week: Ian Thomas: 11 Targets, 9 receptions, 77 yards, 1 red zone target (got to the 1 yard line), played 82% of offensive snaps. Those are more receptions and targets and roughly equal snap counts to Zach Ertz over the last month. I'm telling you, this guy's plate is loaded up and he's going to EAT.

FooserX 208 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 YouTube highlights look good. He moves like a WR - like Kelce and Ertz. And Newton clearly goes to him a lot. The combination of 2 weeks is enough for me to play him over Brate this week. TD chances will be less than Brate, but targets and yardage in a PPR league has to be better. Would 100% go with him over burton. Link to post Share on other sites

Brate has consistently put up 20-30 yards a game all season and has been entirely dependent on TDs to have a good week. Thomas can both get you a TD and put up 70 yards. And Brates chances of scoring a TD are lower this week against a really good defense that shouldn't allow as many TDs to the Bucs as they usually generate. Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like the Ravens allow among the lowest vs the TE position - probably because the receivers are covered so well that there's no one else to throw to Link to post Share on other sites
