Anthony: Looking for a TE recommendation for weeks 15 & 16. (I’m on bye this week). I’ve been playing Bainbridge and carrying only one TE. I’m feeling a little vulnerable noting Bainbridge got nicked up recently and has a tough matchup with KC in week 16. I’d like to keep Bainbridge and add another TE as backup for those last 2 playoff weeks. I have Clay, Ebron, Griffen, Zach Miller, and Tye available. In looking at the matchups for each it looks to me like Griffen has an edge being @Colts and @Titans. Miller: @Min and @TB; Tye: Car, @Min; Ebron: @NO and SF; Clay @Wsh and Dallas. Appreciate your thoughts on one of these.
I’d absolutely add Ebron for next week at New Orleans. Doesn’t get better than that. And if you make it to Week 16, we’ll have a better idea if Ryan Griffin is legitimately part of that offense, how much Miller is used with Bennett out rest of season. Clay has lots of upside, but is inconsistent. And by Week 16 we’ll also have two more weeks on tape of him playing with Manziel.
