Week 5 Rankings: Tight End

Not included: Raiders, Bucs, Cowboys, Lions, Antonio Ga-wait, what? He's playing?? Better get on that then. Personally, he has a great stretch coming up, but if you're worried about his health, sell high after he does well the next few games. Seriously though, I have zero faith in his health. Anyway, enjoy!



RankTight EndOppComments
1Jimmy GrahamSDHe's going to make up for last game with another monster one. Colston won't have that good a game every week.
2Tony Gonzalez@WSHYour current number 1 fantasy TE will continue to be just that after they play the seventh-worst team vs. the TE.
3Rob GronkowskiDENWith the Broncos playing fairly well against the outside, look for Gronk to get a lot of action in the middle
4Vernon DavisBUFHe's finally gotten the consistency he's lacked in years past. Now that Alex Smith isn't afraid to throw, Davis is elite.
5Antonio Gates@NOGreat stretch of matchups coming up and while the Saints are the best against the TE, it's because they suck vs. everything else.
6Jacob Tamme@NEPats giving up the second-most fantasy points to TEs thus far and Tamme gets his looks from Manning.
7Martellus BennettCLEBrowns run defense is surprisingly good and Bennett still gets his targets.
8Dennis Pitta@KCThey may not need to throw much but the redzone targets will pay off.
9Kyle RudolphTENThey are the worst against TEs and he'd be rated higher but Peterson will just be running all over them.
10Greg OlsenSEAHe might be the only guy who matches up size-wise with the Seahawks.
11Jermichael Finley@INDI hate playing him because of the inconsistency, but he really is an incredible talent and it's tough to count him out.
12Brent Celek@PITSteelers give up the twelfth-most points to opposing TEs and he gets plenty of looks from a scrambling Vick.
13Heath MillerPHIBeen plugging Miller for weeks in my Waiver Views and while Philly does defend TEs well, Miller gets too many looks.
14Owen Daniels@NYJTough play but if Schaub has to throw it will likely be to Daniels unless they go deep.
15Scott Chandler@SFThe only reason it's tough to sit him (in any matchup) is the redzone targets. He's the top RZ target on the Bills.
16Fred DavisATLWith Garcon uncertain Davis should continue to get plenty of looks from Griffin. Improving since the start of the year.
17Joel Dreessen@NEVulturing redzone targets left and right and that makes him worth a play in semi-deep leagues.
18Jared Cook@MINIf he's good to go, the Vikings give up the eighth-most to TEs and Hasselbeck will look to him often.
19Jermaine GreshamMIAIf Dalton gets hit as much as I think he will, his big guy in the middle should benefit. 
20Anthony Fasano@CINWith Hartline and Bess getting attention and Bush getting the middle, Fasano should get some open looks.
21Marcedes LewisCHII don't think Lewis should be this high, but that just says what little I think of for these next few.
22Coby FleenerGBLuck will have to get the ball out quick and Packers defense is more than beatable.
23Ed Dickson@KCStill the TE2 on the Ravens but could be worth a shot.
24Dustin KellerHOUSanchez will get his best (and only, quite frankly) target back and hopefully he throws to him every play out of pure joy.
25Benjamin Watson@NYGI can't imagine you having to stoop this low but you could also consider Tony Moeaki from KC.
