I've been holding onto him. Hope he has a huge year.

I’d sell on the high if I could. I doubt he becomes anything beyond the typical cluster at the position.

There are teams in the NFL that do absolutely nothing in fantasy at the TE position. Tennessee likely is going to be one of them.

Just because the depth chart explodes and your left with the remaining garbage doesn't mean it's going to turn to gold.

I'd treat Firkser as a flyer - borderline clogger territory. Vacated targets are earned through talent. If anything AJ Brown is just going to get 30% target share and I'm praying Josh Reynolds can give Tannehill some help.

I am a little worried for that passing efficiency now and passing for 2-3 TDs a game otherwise Tannehill's likely to regress. He may resort to rushing more though which should provide a floor.

I'm not expecting much from Firkser. He'll be serviceable, but not a difference maker IMO.

To Halfbaked88, I think Josh Reynolds might just surprise some people in 2021. He was buried, and underutilized in LA and he's a solid jump-ball WR with pretty good route running skills.

I think he's more than capable of bringing what Corey Davis brought to the team, and his value will rise on that increased production. Is he going to be a stud? I don't think so. But he'll fit in well with the organization and keep that ship humming along. Tannehill will be just fine.

I think you're going to be sadly disappointed if you're relying on Reynolds to bring anything to the table. Too casual, didn't fight for the ball, just no spark.

Maybe a change in scenery will wake him up.

Hence the prayer. I don't own Reynolds; definitely not a fan. I have Tannehill and mainly concerned about losing Corey Davis and Jonnu.

i'd be ery surprised if they start the season without adding WRs (admittedly i don't know much about the ones they drafted). that said, i'm often surprised by nfl teams...
anyway, someone like westbrook and a slot guy (tate, crowder if the jets cut him) could still be on the cards. could also add a TE (fells, burton, ...), they were the team with the most 2TEs sets in the league.
