Fantasy Football Draft Guide – Cheat Sheets & Player Rankings – Ready to talk some Fantasy Football? Dave B has his early Fantasy Football rankings out and now it is time to talk Tight Ends. An elite Tight End is gold. <\/p>\n
But if you cannot get one early in your draft, don\u2019t panic \u2013 there may be some Fantasy magic out there. <\/p>\n
Tight Ends are a crapshoot \u2013 good luck!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Feel free to add any thoughts that you may have.\u00a0Don\u2019t be afraid to leave a comment \u2013 all queries are read and will be rebutted!<\/strong><\/p>\n \t1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Antonio Gates (San Diego) <\/strong>\u2013 The only thing that will slow this guy down is injury as proven last year. He is simply the most dominant Tight End in the game \u2013 don\u2019t worry about last season\u2019s injury! <\/p>\n \t2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dallas Clark (Indianapolis)<\/strong> \u2013 Clark was also hit by the injury bug during a very productive season. Peyton Manning made Jacob Tamme look like a Pro Bowler \u2013 Clark is head and shoulders above Tamme. <\/p>\n \t3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JerMichael Finley (Green Bay)<\/strong> – 24 years old, 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds with speed to burn. Finley is a top option in the best offense in the NFL \u2013 do you need more? I didn\u2019t think so. <\/p>\n \t4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jason Witten (Dallas)<\/strong> – Witten has been a main cog in the Dallas offense for years and 2011 shouldn\u2019t be different. Another 1000 yards is likely but a drop in tds. may be likely as well due to the emergence of Dez Bryant and Miles Austin. <\/p>\n \t5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Vernon Davis (San Francisco)<\/strong> \u2013 Davis is clearly the best option in the 49ers passing game and the chemistry he has with Alex Smith is something that can\u2019t be ignored. He is good for 800-1000 yards and 8-10 scores. <\/p>\n \t6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Owen Daniels (Houston)<\/strong> \u2013 Daniels had an injury plagued 2010 but recorded 22 catches, 271 yards and 2 TDs in the final 4 games of the 2010 season.\u00a0 He isn\u2019t elite but he is firmly in the second tier of Tight Ends.<\/p>\n \t7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Zach Miller (Oakland)<\/strong> – Miller really came on last year despite some questionable quarterback play. He is the most reliable receiver on the Raiders roster \u2013 900 yards and 6-8 scores is not a stretch. <\/p>\n \t8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jimmy Graham (New Orleans)<\/strong> \u2013 Graham exploded on the scene last season and made everyone forget about Jeremy Shockey. He could be the Next Great Tight End. <\/p>\n \t9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kellen Winslow (Tampa Bay)<\/strong> \u2013 Winslow had a very good season last year and with the buzz surrounding the Bucs offense going into 2011, Winslow could have another very solid year. <\/p>\n \t10.\u00a0 Marcedes Lewis (Jacksonville)<\/strong> \u2013 Lewis scored 10 touchdowns last season \u2013 10! Mike Sims-Walker is gone leaving Mike Thomas and Lewis as the only real receiving options for the Jaguars. <\/p>\n \t11.\u00a0 Chris Cooley (Washington)<\/strong> \u2013 Cooley was second in targets last season among Tight Ends and he is a very good receiving option. Six combined tds. in the last three seasons has me a tad concerned along with the uber-unsettled QB situation in Washington. [ad-8469823]<\/p>\n \t12.\u00a0 Tony Gonzalez (Atlanta)<\/strong> \u2013 Some have Gonzo down the rankings but no one can deny his talent. Even if he has lost a step, Tony is worth 600-700 yards and 5-7 touchdowns.<\/p>\n \t13.\u00a0 Rob Gronkowski (New England)<\/strong> \u2013 Gronkowski could be a little higher in the rankings but the presence of Aaron Hernandez tarnishes Gronk\u2019s value just a bit. He had 10 scores in 2010 \u2013 look for 5-7 in 2011.<\/p>\n \t14.\u00a0 <\/strong>Brandon Pettigrew (Detroit)<\/strong> \u2013 Great talent in an up-and-coming offense is reason for optimism for Pettigrew. However, Tony Scheffler is in Detroit to snake a few opportunities away from Pettigrew = fringe starter.<\/p>\n \t15.\u00a0 Dustin Keller (New York Jets)<\/strong> – Keller has the talent to be a starter and he may move up the receiving depth charts if Free Agency rapes the Jets like many think it may. He\u2019s a decent option that could emerge a Fantasy starter by year\u2019s end. <\/p>\n \t16.\u00a0 Aaron Hernandez (New England)<\/strong> – Hernandez had a great early part of the 2010 season but tailed off possibly because of injury. Both Tight Ends are a huge part of the Pats attack. Draft him as a backup with hopes he\u2019ll become your starter. <\/p>\n \t17.\u00a0 Todd Heap (Baltimore)<\/strong> \u2013 Heap is a huge injury risk. Add in the fact the he has two young backups that could snake some of his production and Heap doesn\u2019t look that great. But if he can stay healthy and hold the other two off he\u2019s good for 600 yards and 5-7 touchdowns. <\/p>\n \t18.\u00a0 <\/strong>Ben Watson (Cleveland)<\/strong> \u2013 Watson had an OK 2010 season but only scored three times. I can\u2019t see 2011 being any different. He may surprise but as long as Colt McCoy is chucking, expect the unspectacular Watson to reign.<\/p>\n \t19.\u00a0 Brent Celek (Philadelphia) <\/strong>– Celek is a talented guy that seemingly got left in the cold by Michael Vick. The coaches know that if they want to keep Vick healthy he has to look for some good outlets \u2013 enter Brent Celek. He may be worth a shot!<\/p>\n \t20.\u00a0 Tony Moeaki (Kansas City)<\/strong> – Moeaki had a good rookie season by all accounts and is ready to build on that this year. His projections are low but his ceiling is high. Moeaki has upside and would be a good TE2 for anyone. <\/p>\n Pre-season is nearly upon us (we hope), so for the next few weeks we encourage you to be checking out our FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFT GUIDE<\/strong><\/a> for all your rankings and analysis for the upcoming league drafts that you\u2019re going to be participating in. <\/p>\n Are you in the market for free 2011 fantasy football draft info?
