Lets use our TE that averages over 20 yards per catch. - fredtoast - 10-26-2018
With all the injuries at TE I wonder why we aren't seeing more of Jake Fisher. He averages 21.5 yards per reception.
Before you laugh he is listed as an H-back on the Bengals injury list on ProFootballReference.com.

Fisher was a TE in college before converting to OT. Plus he could block.

Can Hubbard play TE? Seems like he could but i don't want him there, i want him rushing the passer and dropping
into coverage, just a question. Wouldn't mind seeing Fish out there, want to see him do something as i feel for the
man. Tough stuff he has went through with the heart problem.

He's got stone hands, he's slow, he can't jump...

Two words.... and yes, I'm about to get yelled at by a certain poster...….lol.... but he's available (Vikings PS), has golden hands, and can get open. His knock is his blocking, but we need receivers.

Remember we could trade for Jared Cook easily...

No we couldn't
On Wednesday, Gruden told reporters that he does not anticipate making any more trades prior to the Oct. 30 deadline. He said that is “certainly” the case with Carr.

How about these experienced options?
Julius Thomas - 71 games - 55 starts - 226 catches - 2406 yards - 36 TDs
Coby Fleener - 87 games - 53 starts - 255 catches - 3080 yards - 22 TDs
Tim Wright - 41 games - 11 starts - 89 catches - 907 yards - 13 TDs
Mychal Rivera - 61 games - 15 starts - 146 catches - 1413 yards - 10 TDs
Anthony Fasano - 180 games - 135 starts - 299 catches - 3278 yards - 36 TDs
Both Thomas and Fleener are relatively young (30) and have had plenty of success in the league. Thomas has a nose for the end zone, much like Eifert, and Fleener has 3 seasons with over 600 yards.

Just when I'd almost forgotten about ol' stone hands.
It's funny, the Bills wound up signing that dude. Guess they've always loved our scrubs.

Would love any one of those players, especially Thomas or Fleener. Fasano is still around? Damn. Old fella.
Tim Wright seems the most likely.

He has been out of the league for a couple of years hasn't he?

Why are Thomas and Fleener unemployed? Were they injured, or just wanted too much money?

Wonder if they're thinking that about us with Glenn and Brown?

Don't know about Thomas, but Fleener is STILL having issues from a concussion from week 12 of last season. Saints released him on May7.

Not finding much on why for either one except something about Thomas retiring to pursue a medical research career. Both seemed to have not participated in any OTA's or preseason this year, so conditioning would be an issue.
