Housler may not be a household name to most fans,but his seasons in 2012 and 13 put him on the radar of fantasy owners with solid seasons as a pass catching tight end.
Housler fell out of favor with the Cardinals for some reason last season and caught just nine passes,but looking at his numbers previous to that and seeing that Housler will be the main pass catcher at the position,Housler's size and hands make me think that he could (emphasis on COULD) perhaps approach the bottom end of Jordan Cameron's numbers,especially if he stays healthy.
Housler has the type of size (6'5 250) to be a red zone force,but in his Cardinals tenure caught just one touchdown.
That's understandable considering the Cardinal receivers on the outside,so I'll willing to accept that he just was not thrown to in the end zone.
I'm not saying Rob Housler will be a pro bowl level player,but he does take tight end off the board early in my opinion and upgrades the position with a player that has the potential to open the center of the field a bit and give whoever is taking the snaps a checkdown target that could improve the yards after catch average..
For the cost and considering the need.Rob Housler is a nice pickup....
