I hope it works out too. Production wise, the differences between them are nominal (as expected through 2 games), with Thomas having a slight edge given his week 1 performance. As JT pointed out, how they end up using him henceforth will be signifcant. Although Finley has been comparably productive, with a praiseworthy camp and preseason, I'd still like to see a larger sample size before giving him the nod on a more consistent basis (considering his history).

 

Simply put, just look for volume and play the matchups. Take a guy like Jordan Cameron who has similar output in terms of points, but has less reliance on scores to account for the difference (14 receptions on 20 targets).

 

In terms of the matchups, the Raiders defense is slightly more suscetpbile to the tight end in the redzone.

 

Good luck.
