BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~75 for TE1 with Upside
CURRENT ADP: 93 STD, 91 PPR
ANALYSIS: After a very impressive 2013 season (80 receptions, 917 yards and seven TDs), fantasy owners expected Jordan Cameron to take another step in the direction of becoming a dominant tight end. But as is usually the case in Cleveland, things did not go as expected. Cameron sputtered in 2014 to the tune of 24 receptions, 424 yards and two touchdowns while missing five games due to a concussion. Sure there were other red flags before the season started, such as tight end friendly offensive coordinator Norv Turner leaving the Browns for a job in Minnesota. Turner was replaced by Kyle Shanahan, whose offense does not feed the tight end as much. Cameron also had to put up with the three-headed QB monster of Brian Hoyer, Johnny Manziel and Connor Shaw.
But those days are now in the past after Cameron took his talents to South Beach. Ryan Tannehill may not be a perennial Pro Bowler, but he is light years ahead of the quarterback play in Cleveland these days. Tannehill has long been criticized for his downfield accuracy, which makes having a tight end that can run short-to-medium routes all the more important. With Charles Clay and Mike Wallace out of town, there will be plenty of targets for the uber-athletic Cameron. If you miss out on Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham early, you may be able to get Cameron at a cheap price that you wouldn't have seen in 2014 fantasy drafts.
