Not sure that's really comparable. 2 more TDs vs 550 less yards receiving. That would actually be a larger difference if my league was PPR because Eifert only had 52 catches last year.

Honestly outside of TDs he didn't really tear it up...
-16th among TE in receptions
-12th among TE in yards

It makes Eifert a lot less distinguished in the fantasy market than you're thinking.

Also, as Jpoore said, you forgot Olsen. I will also add a few others you forgot:
-Delanie Walker (94/1,088/6)
-Jordan Reed (87/952/11)

So other than Gronk, (I am not positive I would add Kelce), Barnidge, Olsen, Walker, and Reed.. and then all of a sudden you're talking about him being the 6th scoring TE or so in FF. Good, but surely not 50th overall good.




I like it, it takes a little more skill than being able to pick up good starters easily on the waiver wire. You actually need to research a bit, balance matchups and such.

I don't know man.... I had Gronk so I just watched other teams in my league try to match him. It seemed like Eifert did as good a job as any. I know he can't match his diesel or jackitude, but he scored a lot. I did forget about Walker and Olsen, but that's probably because I realize they are only still in the league because Burfict hasn't "Max Williamsed" them yet.
