DerrickHenrysCleats 6,029 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Great start but now everyone is getting healthy and Jonnu is dinged. I need to see AT LEAST 2 full practices to feel comfy with him this week. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aapox 898 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Okay, he played 70% of snaps on Sunday, so I’m decently less worried. Still hope Firkser doesn’t vulture too many targets but as long as Jonnu is healthy and on the field he’ll produce more times than not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Funkhouser 1,202 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 He's set and forget for me barring something catastrophic. Won't find many tight ends with more talent and athleticism. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Won't find many tight ends with more talent and athleticism. He's a baby A.J Brown basically. Just give this man some targets & let the damage commence. In my opinion the whole passing game should primarily go through them. No one else But fantasy is not reality, sadly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST. STEVEN 4,406 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Just a smash spot this week. Be grateful if he is your TE1, no matter how you were able to gain his services. CIN allows a +8.4 adjusted FPA against opposing TEs this year, best matchup (by far) in fantasy. They also should be able to keep up enough against the TEN defense and make this a semi-shootout. Jonnu 💪 week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly. He was a defacto primary target it seems. Yes the steelers are tough BUT I didn't see that affect AJ or Davis in that game. People want to ignore the impact of Tanny having AJ, Davis, and Humphries to also pick from. Jonnu appears less reliable than he was when the other weapons were hurt. Let's not ignore that just because we own jonnu and want him to go off every week. Thankfully it's the Bengals this week but the competition for targets and end zone looks isn't a good sign moving forward Edited October 30, 2020 by BeastOfTheLeast 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to this the best comparable player to Jonnu is David Njoku. And the best comparable player to Njoku is Travis Kelce. And the best comparable player to Kelce is Gronk. We're only 3 comparisons away from this guy being one of the most dominant forces ever seen on a football field! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pastorofmuppets2 10,638 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 there were plenty in here giving me & ol' @BeastOfTheLeast grief for DARING to question this cat's involvement with a full casting call of Titan pass catchers on board - but looks like some choice posts got vanquisehed. hmmm. anyways, Firkser outscored him today. FIRKSER. 🤔 Corey Davis had himself a day. the early season vacated targets are no longer up for grabs - the cavalry have arrived, and they are taking precedent. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

damageinc 53 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 To the bench for now. Better guys on some waiver wires or your backup until he shows signs of increased usage. Im benching for Tonyan for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kyoun1e 1,050 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Welp, I need him now with my Kittle banged up. Will be the first to admit I thought he'd smash in that matchup. Nope. A positive: TN faces CHI at home. CHI is lock down against WRs, but pretty mediocre against TEs if you look at SOS data. If TN wants to win that game, they need to scheme him in. And if Humphries doesn't clear protocol that could be one less mouth to feed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RoseLin23 436 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Count me in as officially worried. Only thing I can think of is he's not 100%, but I haven't seen any Titans' games so it's hard to say. What really worries me in this last game is his low usage despite the Titans' playing from behind....it's not like they were up 3 scores and they were just trying to burn clock. Not good fellas, not good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't have to previously, but now have to minus Kittle. Will be looking at this all week vs. other options. Right now, the matchup doesn't look too bad vs CHI. That said, will be exploring other options. You win some you lose some. It may very well be that this is a concerning negative trend that fails to reverse. It may not. Time will tell. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Time will tell. 👍 i'm as pissed and disappointed as anyone ... i was lulled by the early season success, we all were. but it was clearly not sustainable given the returns of the more targeted WRs. i don't wanna give up on him any more than the next guy - it blows shifting gears this late in the season, but there are more attractive options emerging ... time to cut bait, i'm afraid - dunno if i can afford to pray for rain vs the Bears, regardless of them being weaker vs the position. i'll see who i can snag, otherwise i have no choice. gl to you all 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Funkhouser 1,202 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Disappointing. Certainly isn't a talent issue but that won't matter much if the ball isn't being thrown to him. Silver lining is they lost the last two weeks so perhaps the coaching staff will look at what they've been doing and try to get him more involved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is it looks like nothing has changed since last year in terms of them utilizing him. I think we just got lured into his early success with their injuries at WR to think that they actually decided to keep him a focal point of their passing offense. With everyone healthy, I think he's now just a TD dependent low-end TE1/high-end TE2 like so many other people in that tier. Which is frustrating because he's clearly got the talent to be elite.
