Nice. Bonus points for looking like Encino man. Another TE to keep an eye on. This guy called Pitts on Atlanta. I heard he's pretty good.
Freak, we've not had you around this offseason. Pitts... lets talk about it. How much would you give up to acquire him, and indeed, have you acquired him in your leagues?

I personally coughed up what I thought was a steal in my SF: Ekeler, Jonnu Smith, and Chase Edmonds. (I also had a version of this that had my 2022 2nd instead of Edmonds; he went with the win-now)

Probably better to move this kind of question to a Pitts thread.

If you’re watching KC TEs, be aware of Jody Fortson. The 3rd year former WR UDFA out of Valdosta St is apparently having a very good camp early on as well. Very athletic for a TE and has been a pet project of Reid’s since 2019.

Yeah, I just spotted his posts over there. I see his Pitts hype was more of a troll. :lol:

Back to deep deeeep sleepers... do any of the following deeper waiver WR's stand out to anyone as must-adds? I'd be down for any healthy (or unhealthy) reasoning 8-)

Jalen Guyton
Albert Wilson
Kelvin Harmon
Keke Coutee

I’ve got Guyton and Tyron Johnson rostered right now - I want to see if one or both stick with Allen getting up there age-wise and Williams in a contract year. I’m interested in having a long term piece of a potentially prolific passer’s WR corps and both guys have profiles and have shown flashes that would fit future breakout guys.

I’m also rostering Callaway for reasons stated earlier.

I think Coutee may fit the bill, and HOU figures to be throwing a ton this year, even if it is quite possibly with a substandard QB.

Wilson has too much quality competition and Harmon needs to show some kind of life, though he did come on a little in the second half of last year. Not interested in either right now.

It was a joke, for sure. Just because there is so much talk about him, and this is a deep, deep sleepers thread. Not because I don't like him.

I still have not given up hope on Deon Cain. He is once again shining in camp

He is turning into a local media darling. This is a direct tweet quote from Stephen Holder who is the voice of local Colts media.

Don’t know how many WRs the Colts will keep, but I know this: 7th round pick Michael Strachan flashes every single practice. If he does this in preseason games, this dude is a keeper. Period.

I know he is probably only a sleeper instead of deep, deep sleeper, but everything I am seeing from 49ers training camp indicates Elijah Mitchell is absolutely crushing it so far. He apparently looks by far the most explosive of the RBs and is gaining big chunks of yards every time he touches the ball. Looks destined to be the 3rd down back as he is leading the RB's in catches so far during camp. Might be available on a few waiver wires still.

Interesting evaluations on Mitchell far, in that I’m seeing multiple reports that he’s been the most effective RB between the tackles - and at times the only RB willing to press between the tackles instead of bouncing runs outside. I’m guessing he’ll play at 210 lbs like he did in college, so he’s got the mass to be a 3 down RB if needed.

Love this kid and feel like I stole him in the 8th round of our draft.

Have had this guy on my radar for over a year now. Just went and got him now the the hype has picked up again. I think this is the best chance he has for a breakout. Year 3....

Eno Benjamin is getting plenty of work with the first team. Worth a free dart throw with only Edmunds and Connor ahead of him.
