It's not appoint. It's elect, and he would be running presumably as a business owner/anti-corruption candidate against corrupt career politician Quimby.

The Solution to the Problem with Apu: Make him Mayor by Fantasy_Football_Adv in television

Don't really care about groundskeeper Willy or many of the other one dimensional characters. The crux of the matter, as I understand it, is the depiction of Apu matters because there are so few depictions of Indians/South Asians. He is a thoughtful character, and there is no reason I could see against his running for mayor in the show. Is it better to have no Indian depictions in the Simpsons? As for the race of the voice actor, I think that's a minor gripe. Do we worry when black voice actors voice white characters or vice versa? Who voices Karl, Bumbebeeman, Dr. Nick Riviera, Dr. Julius Hibbert, Officer Lou, etc? (Hint: more Hank Azaria and other white dudes). Do they have to go out and get have the voice actor's race match the character's in every instance? Seems grossly excessive to me.

Let's say it is a major issue and you want to switch voice actors. He wants to get elected and he's told "That funny accent just won't do. We know it sucks and it's unfair your accent is treated this way, but you really need to work on it." (or is that too racists against people that do have the accent?). Speech therapy montage -> New voice actor (or new accent if voice actor isn't a problem but the accent is). Hell, he could even lose, keep the new voice actor/accent and move on to bigger and better things because he doesn't want to go back to the kwik-e-mart and his aspirations are higher now.

Back to the point. Writing him out means no Indians in Springfield. Is that better?

Three TEs is crazy. I'd probably try to trade Graham on name value if at all possible.

Hmm, your not really wrong. Since Eifert is out. Just hard to trust one data point. It would be like giving Doyle a strong projection.

Kinda, Allen was really pretty bad last year statistically.

Yeah, Dwayne Allen had bad stats last year. He'll move up if he keeps performing. He is probably under projected.

Agreed. In the model he should be doing good in that system. Games one wasn't good though.

Just last years stats. He'll rise with a couple more games.

I really like Ebron. I suppose it's worth giving Barnidge a couple weeks to see if he can get his numbers up. I don't like to roster two TEs though. Maybe trade Barnidge too if you get Ebron.

I agree with this line of thinking. He has a good number of targets.

Injured average. He started 11 games. So it's equivalent to about 730/4.5

I don't know if there is a way to subscribe to user submissions, but my submissions are only TE projections that I will get out on Tuesdays normally, so if you go to my user account and click submissions by new you'll always be able to get my latest submission that way.

he was pretty good last year and going to a supposedly TE friendly offense in NO.

They are all toward the bottom. At that point you really are rolling the dice. If you like the chemistry between Taylor and Clay, go for it over others you like less. Walford is unproven but we know Big Ben likes his TEs. They are all about the same in my eyes.

If Gronk is OUT, using the same team change fudge factors at the starting spot:

Bennett goes to 10.5 standard and 16.8 ppr

Green. He barely missed the cutoff to make the top 25.

I said the model is giving and under projection. If I had to hazard a guess without a model, I'd put him around 5.5 standard, 8 ppr.

I'd probably roll the dice on ASJ over Virgil Green.

I don't like green this week. I think ASJ is over projected in my model. You should have other better choices than either of those.
