Week 3 Rankings: Tight Ends

Those of you who know me know very well how much I hate tight ends in fantasy football. Once you get about 4 or 5 guys down this list, you'll know why.

Rank	Tight End	Opp.	Comments
1	Jimmy Graham	KC	He is and will be number 1 all year. He's the top target on a pass-heavy team and gets tons of redzone looks.
2	Rob Gronkowski	@BAL	Tough defense but will have more usage especially with Aaron Hernandez out. Hopefully Welker and Lloyd draw men away.
3	Vernon Davis	@MIN	Has established the connection with Alex Smith we've been waiting on. He'll have a big game.
4	Tony Gonzalez	@SD	The old man is still going strong and on a loaded team, hes still producing at an elite level.
5	Brandon Pettigrew	@TEN	Titans giving up the most fantasy points to TEs this year and Stafford's going to have his bounce-back game.
6	Antonio Gates	ATL	Rivers loves hitting the tight end and the Falcons will cover the wideouts well.
7	Jason Witten	TB	Tamp giving up a healthy 60+ yards to TEs in the first two weeks and Bennett scored on them last week.
8	Brent Celek	@ARI	He's 4th in the NFL in receiving yards. Cards will make the WRs non-factors and will commit to stopping the run.
9	Jermaine Gresham	@WSH	The Redskins will miss their two star LBs dearly after this game. Gresham and Hawkins will eat up the middle of the field.
10	Martellus Bennet	@CAR	Giants are too banged up at WR to not give Bennett his targets. Bennett is set for a HUGE game.
11	Fred Davis	CIN	Bengals giving up the 7th most fantasy points to TEs and Davis is looking to bounce back from a disappointing start.
12	Jermichael Finley	@SEA	Seahawks defend the middle of the field well, just like Chicago. And you can look at Finley's number from last week...
13	Jared Cook	DET	Gets the targets that Britt owners want. Big guy in the middle with a QB that gets half a second to throw.
14	Dennis Pitta	NE	Racking up huge target totals and if this turns into a shootout, Pitta will get plenty of payout.
15	Owen Daniels	@DEN	Daniels getting looks but hasn't found paydirt yet. Denver giving up the third most points to TEs.
16	Coby Fleener	JAC	This is a weak defense in the middle and rookie QBs love their tight ends.
17	Jacob Tamme	HOU	I'd look for another option as the Texans give up the LEAST fantasy points to TEs in a solid defensive scheme.
18	Kyle Rudolph	SF	Worth a play in PPR since Ponder loves to throw to him but in standard stay away. Niners D too good.
19	Dustin Keller	@MIA	Fins great against the run and Sanchez has to throw somewhere. Probably more reliable than Holmes as well.
20	Marcedes Lewis	@IND	Reliable target for whichever QB gets the start, but MJD will be running all over the Colts D.
21	Scott Chandler	@CLE	Fitzpatrick has to start throwing to this guy sometime, right?
22	Greg Olsen	NYG	This could very well turn into a shootout and Cam does like to throw to Olsen.
23	Heath Miller	@OAK	Probably not the best option since the WRs will be tearing it up, but Big Ben does look to him often.
24	Brendan Myers	PIT	Seems to be developing chemistry with Palmer.
25	Dallas Clark	@DAL	Could sneak in a TD here or there with defensive attention elsewhere.
