Week 8 Rankings: TEs (aka Everythings Sucks)

The top guys on this list all play against the top fantasy-TE-defenses in the league. All the top guys on this list except Jimmy Graham and Heath Miller. Graham is hurt and may not play, and nobody listens when I tell them to pick up Miller. And that, is why everything sucks.
RankTight EndOppComments
1Jimmy Graham@DENEven if he's limited, he's a great play facing a Bronco defense that's third-worst against TEs.
2Heath MillerWSHLeads all TEs in redzone targets. The guy's somehow still available in 15% of leagues!
3Rob Gronkowski@STLFinally getting things going and that won't stop against the Rams.
4Vernon Davis@ARIPut up a goose-egg last week and the Cardinals are good against TEs but he's still their best receiver
5Antonio Gates@CLEBrowns only rank high against TEs because they're too busy sucking against everything else.
6Aaron Hernandez@STLThey ran their offense through him pre-injury, so they'll slowly get back to that.
7Tony Gonzalez@PHIHe's the most targeted TE in all of football. Matchups don't affect that.
8Kyle RudolphTBPut up a zero last week so depending on redzone work here.
9Martellus Bennett@DALHe's heating up and he scored against them in Week 1.
10Jason WittenNYGGiants will be diverting defensive attention elsewhere with WRs and Felix Jones.
11Dustin KellerMIAHe showed up last week like I said he would. The redzone work is enough to start him.
12Brandon PettigrewSEAHe's been a huge disappointment lately but with SO MUCH attention going elsewhere, he has to step up.
13Greg Olsen@CHICam's got to throw to someone. Why not Olsen?
14Brent CelekATLHe started the season off well but dropped off. Vick should be getting back to him after the bye.
15Chris Cooley@PITIf Cooley plays, he'll be replacing the second-highest-targeted player on the team in Fred Davis.
16Anthony Fasano@NYJThe Jets haven't defended TEs well at all so hopefully Tannehill looks his way more.
17Jacob TammeNOAnyone's a viable option against this defense.
18Coby Fleener@TENTitans are worst in the league against opposing fantasy tight ends. 
19Jermichael FinleyJACMr Inconsistent. He's not even a big enough name at this point to get someone to bite on a trade,
20Jared CookINDThe Colts are usually busy giving up points to every other position but that could change.
21Joel DreessenNOSeems to vulture TDs all the time. Why stop now versus this ghost defense.
22Marcedes Lewis@GBPackers defense is in shambles and he's really the only receiving option besides that Shorts guy.
23Dwayne Allen@TENFleener's higher but Allen has more versatility. Could pay off.
24Rob HouslerSFHe's super-athletic and Skelton has to start looking his way soon.
25Lance KendricksNEPatriots are terrible against opposing tight ends but he's not exactly high on the targets list for Bradford.
