Beg to differ. He is a great receiver and a very solid blocker. I had him on a fantasy league back when he was with the Patriots, before they started truly utilizing the TE, and he was one of the best at times when used in the game plan.

Not excited to here about the 4-3 being ran a lot.

There were 14 TE's taken in the last 3 rounds, but we stayed put with the guys we have. We certainly had the picks available if we were interested. That's all I need know as far as how SP feels about Watson and Hill.

JG seemed to do that every other game last year.

The problem is that now we have almost no depth at TE.

Hill had some big plays last year because he was that one guy not accounted for

With no Jimmy to draw doubles he and ben will be covered more closely

To be fair, the way they are setting up the line/backs; play action should be deadly. Shouldn't matter who is catching the ball, if the defense has to crowd the box.

And Hill did well when Jimmy wasn't in the game because of injuries, so I don't see why he wouldn't continue

my dear Watson is a jewel to have on our roster. but he shows his age in todays gameplans he gets banged up a lot , is why we had 3 tight ends rotating most of the time.but if you think hes going to catch 50-60 balls is not going to happen.
