Week 14 Rankings: TEs

I've said it a million times and it's still true: tight ends have been an absolute wasteland this year. Absolutely terrible. If a Myers, Gresham, Olsen or even a Bennett is available, you've got to jump on that. Your tight ends for Week 14:

RankTight EndOppComments
1Jimmy Graham@NYGCome on. Even without playing every snap, he's at the top.
2Aaron HernandezHOUPats likely won't be able to run much, so expect Brady to go to AH and Welker early and often
3Tony Gonzalez@CAROld faithful's been great so far and the Panthers are middle-of-the-pack against fantasy tight ends.
4Brandon MyersDENWrote about him in this week's (and the past three weeks') Waiver View. He's a PPR stud the past few weeks.
5Owen Daniels@NEThe Pats give up the most points of any team to fantasy tight ends. Daniels is in for a field day.
6Jason Witten@CINCincy allows the seventh-most fantasy points per game to TEs. Witten has been on a PPR tear lately.
7Martellus BennettNOEli finally remembered he was on the team and went to him in every time of duress. The Saints blitz a lot.
8Jermaine GreshamDALThree scores in the past four weeks, Cowboys TE defense has been letting up as of late, too.
9Greg OlsenATLHe's been hit-or-miss, but somehow he's still a top-10 TE in standard scoring leagues.
10Kyle RudolphCHIPlayed well in literally every week that I ranked him low. Take this for what it's worth: I think he plays well this week.
11Brandon Pettigrew@GBThey keep losing options in the passing game so his stock will only go up.
12Brent Celek@TBI know what I said about Foles and this offense but Celek has nine targets in each of the past two games.
13Dennis Pitta@WSHBill Simmons: "this is London Fletcher's 266th straight game getting beaten 30 yards downfield by a TE."
14Jacob Tamme@OAKThis defense is so bad even Tamme could look like a prime Peyton target.
15Dallas ClarkPHIHe's been more involved and he has three scores in the last four games.
16Scott ChandlerSTLNot a great matchup and the targets have gone down, but he's still got six TD's on the year.
17Vernon DavisMIAFins are pretty good against the tight end and he's been more and more obsolete the past few weeks.
18Jermichael FinleyDETA fantasy owner's worst nightmare: a great matchup for Jermichael Finley.
19Tony Scheffler@GBHe pretty much played slot WR after Broyles went down. Mike Thomas may start, but Scheffler's numbers will go up.
20Coby FleenerTENHe scored last week and Tennessee gives up plenty to tight ends.
21Marcedes LewisNYJJets don't TEs and "short route to Lewis" is replacing the Jags' run game.
22Antonio GatesPITIsn't it fantastically ironic that the one year Gates stays relatively healthy, he just stinks?
23Jared Cook@INDHe played really well at the end of last year so maybe he'll start that up.
24Rob Housler@SEAHe's been super impressive as he's progressed this year but there's that whole "bad offense" issue.
25Tony Moeaki@CLEThis is a reach play but not impossible.
