Hey I know a lot of people look down on Yahoo leagues but for those of you in one this guy is pretty much a must grab.

For those who don't know he's the new #2 WR in NO. The important thing is Yahoo has him TE eligible. He's not a sure thing but his potential is huge at that position. He could easily be a top 5 "TE" and if Horn were to go down he may very well beat out Gates.

He's also an untested small college rookie who was a late bloomer. He's a local kid, and didn't do that much in high school. He grew late and did a ton of sports performance stuff pre-combine to impress the scouts.

I'd love to see him do well, just feel he's far from a guarantee.

If he impressed the coaches enough for them to move Stallworth that's a pretty big statement. I still haven't seen him play personally but he's a big target for Brees (who is used to a big red zone target, btw) and supposedly runs very crisp routes with great hands.

His performance today was phenomenal for a "TE."

Anyway, I'm not saying he's risk-free, but he's certainly well worth the chance.
