I'm in a 32-team start-up draft that is a 1-copy league (an NFL player can only be on 1 fantasy team). So the waiver wire is VERY slim. We are currently in Round 8 (pick 231 overall), and I have yet to pick a tight end. 25 TE's have been drafted so far.
Knowing that in this league it is very hard to pick-up any decent TE on the waiver wire, which of the following TE's would you choose if you were in my situation:
Trey Burton (free agent in 2018)
Ricky-Seals Jones (has inside track to be AZ's starting TE in 2018)
Jake Butt (1st round talent that fell in the NFL draft due to injury)

Re: Start-Up Draft: TE Advice - Who to Pick?
Not terrible options, I actually could make a case for picking either of the 3, but Id rank them
Burton - like that he's a FA, should get a nice little value spike when he signs somewhere and looked good when he played
Jones - looked good last year when he played
Butt - too many injuries

I'd select Burton easily from that group. More upside if he lands in a good spot.

I feel you have them in the correct order yourself

Re: Start-Up Draft: TE Advice - Who to Pick?
Burton. I like Butt too, but might have to wait another year for him.
Re: Start-Up Draft: TE Advice - Who to Pick?
Burton is the safest, Butt has the highest ceiling (when healthy), not sold on Jones.
Re: Start-Up Draft: TE Advice - Who to Pick?
I'd take Burton, played well when he relieved Ertz, is a FA and can sign somewhere juicy

Re: Start-Up Draft: TE Advice - Who to Pick?
I'd take Burton.
Just curious, how'd the first rounds of your draft pan out? I've commented on a handful of your posts. Wondering how it's gone so far for you.

Re: Start-Up Draft: TE Advice - Who to Pick?
I'd like to see the 25 taken so far to make sure you haven't missed anyone.
I still like Butt's upside, and Jones did decent - not really sold on Burton yet - I'd rather wait and see if he goes somewhere else.

Do you have a link to the draft?
