Amon-Ra St Brown my hero.
I've spruiked him before and I'm happy to do so again.
The pundits ranked him around WR #25 despite his stellar finish to last season.
They said that with Swift and Hockenson back from injury and Chark added he wouldn't get the targets.
I thought that any rookie WR who can catch 90 of 119 targets and not register a single drop (according to Field Yates - although others say he dropped 2/3) should improve in his 2nd yr and was more than likely a top-10 WR. If not higher.
Over his last 5 games last year he averaged 40 in RDT. Kupp averaged 42.5 over the full season.
He now has 8 straight games of 8+ catches (tied the NFL record) and 60+ yds with 8 x TDs.
Plus, he can be used effectively in the rushing game. In those 8 games he has had 9 carries for 129 yds and a TD. Including a 58 yd effort today.
At $9.95m I think he is marvelous value.
As for my post on the Packers-Bears 10 point margin: you can see why I am no longer a betting man.

The few elite TEs are OK: Andrews, Kelce, Kittle and Waller mainly.
I started with the two I think will be the clear top-2 at season's end: Andrews and Kelce.
As for the other two: Kittle seems to get injured a lot and who knows what Waller will do with Adams in town.
Pitts was touted pre-season but I think that was based on perceived potential, not achievement. He had a couple of big games last year but most were your standard mid-range TE product. London added to the team may impact his output quite badly.
Just my opinion but I think that saving money on any but the best TEs is a false economy.

Some lovely results this week.
Both NY teams won: when was the last time that happened? It was probably last year but given their recent losing records it's nice to see wins.
The Dolphins came back from 21 points down in the 3rd qtr on the back of Tua's 6 x TDs, He threw 4 x TDs in the 4th including two to Hill of 48yd and 60yd. Hill and Waddle both finished with 170+ yds. And this is the guy a large number of people wanted gone - "let's replace him with Brady".
Remember, Tua was the consensus #1 QB in his draft year before he was injured. He's the player with the highest passer efficiency rating in college football history: 199.4. In college, from 684 pass attempts he threw 87 TDs - a TD % of 12.72 - with only 11 interceptions. At one stage he threw 205 consecutive passes without an intercept.
Confession:
I'm a bit pro-Miami going back to the days when Dan Marino was QB. I've been waiting a long time for them have a quality QB and be good again.

I'd suggest two options:
keep Pitts until he has at least one big score. He's bound to have one sooner or later. Maybe next week at Seattle.
consider Everett at $5.47m: he's on a new team, LAC, with a decent QB who threw the ball an average of 40 times a game last year; he had 4 targets in wk.01 but 10 in wk.02 with Allen out and given Allen has a hammy Everett might continue to get the targets.

Picked Kelce and Freiermuth (he has gone 20, 20 in the two rounds so far for $6.5M) as my two TE's. I have much bigger problems with my team than fixing either.
Picked a few favourites and put in zero research this year, so decided not to join leagues, as I'm not taking it too seriously. I did pick Tua as one of my QB's, much happier with him this week than last. Not much else to like about my team though, think you can add me to the list of those having a below par week (again).
