The Patriots camp is buzzing...and it is not Danny Amendola causing a stir,.....it's an drafted rookie named Zach Sudfield. The 6'7, 225 lb TE out of Nevada is running with the 1's and catching everythign Brady throws his way. With Gronk likely out for 6 weeks, is this the TE who emerges in 2013 as the pick up of the year?
He and Tom Brady have been holding private workouts and Patriot's We all know how Brady can rely on his TE's and Zach looks like he is it (for at least 6 weeks).
From one of those other fantasy sites...... Zach Sudfield is really shining in his opportunity with the Patriots.
He's apparently "catching everything thrown his way", and ESPN's Sal
Paolantonio has called him "Baby Gronk". With speculation that Gronk
could be sidelined and put on the PUP list, or at least not playing
anywhere near 100%, and considering that Daniel Fells, the other major
active Tight End, is a much better blocker, Sudfield could really use
that Dennis Pitta/Gronk style move-all-over-the-field Tight End. The
Boston Globe is also reporting that Sudfield is only playing with the
first-team, which means that should Gronk be unable to play, Sudfield
could become STUDfield. Remember his name, esp. if you're in a deep
league.
Anyone else think he is worth a flyer?!

I think he is worth a stash. I wouldn't drop anyone notable to roster him, but he is one to keep an eye on.
A little late to the party.. I don't know any Leagues where he is free, i picked him up awhile ago where i could..
But if hes there, yes id pick him up. I've heard nothing but amazing things about him so far
