Tight end fantasy warning: the Falcons’ Alge Crumpler is banged up and might be worth a pass in your upcoming drafts. He had his knee scoped in the offseason and although he has taken it easy thus far in training camp (he’s only participated in a handful of practices and even then, he hasn’t done much apparently), he’s still suffering some discomfort.
Crumpler has been one of the best fantasy tight end options over the years, but this year he’s got trouble written all over him. Forget the injury setback for a second and just think about the Falcons current quarterback situation, which is Joey Harrington. Complain about Michael Vick’s accuracy all you want, but he has always found away to get the ball into the hands of Algernon Darius Crumpler. But with no Vick and now an injury setback, I’d take a long hard look at other tight end options.
Obviously keep an eye on him in preseason, but if he doesn’t play in any exhibition game, the writing might be on the wall.
