Top 50 Position Battles: Packers TEs
# 48. Packers TE. Donald Lee vs. Bubba Franks vs. Tory Humphrey
This spot was originally going to be the Oakland starting tight end battle, but the odds on any Raider winner being a fantasy option are slim.
Green Bay’s candidates are long shots as well, but they have a few things going for them. Brett Favre is going to throw a ton, he likes using the tight end, and Green Bay’s wideout group is thin.
Franks has fallen on hard times recently and was running with the second and third team during minicamps. He’s only 29, but has declined since getting a big contract. Tory Humprey is a NFLE prospect that is mostly unknown, but the Packers seem to like him. Donald Lee caught a career-high 33 passes in 2005 and looks to be the favorite.
I’m not excited about any of these options, but the Packers tight ends have averaged 70 catches a year as a group the last two seasons. If they focus on one guy, probably Lee, he could be an injury replacement in fantasy leagues. Woo.
