Week 9 Rankings: TE (God Help Us)

To reiterate, I hate tight ends. Not the position or the players, just fantasy TEs. All of the top guys seem to have the toughest matchups week after week and most of said guys are so inconsistent it's breathtaking. Enjoy, I guess:


RankTight EndOppComments
1Jimmy GrahamPHIHe's healthy and this is going to be a shootout. That's all I need.
2Tony GonzalezDALWith Douglas hurt and solid Cowboy CBs, no third receiver will mean more targets for Gonzalez.
3Heath Miller@NYGHe leads the entire NFL in redzone targets and is tops in touches for non-RB in goal-to-go situations.
4Jason Witten@ATLAfter last week's performance, Witten now leads all TEs in targets and catches.
5Greg Olsen@WSHI'm expecting a big game since Smith, LaFell and of course, Newton will be taking up attention. Skins worst against TEs.
6Jermaine GreshamDENDenver allows the third-most points to opposing TEs and Gresham has been very consistent as of late.
7Owen DanielsBUFOf all TEs, Daniels is sixth in yards, fourth in receptions and fourth in TDs.
8Antonio GatesKCHe's underachieved for most of the year but KC is awful.
9Scott Chandler@HOUChandler gets a Texans D that's so prominent in stopping every position except his. Hopefully it works out.
10Brandon Pettigrew@JACThe Jags have the second-best TE defense in the league but Pettigrew gets enough targets to negate that.
11Brent Celek@NOIt's a shootout. I can't imagine how many times I have/will be saying that.
12Kellen Davis@TENA guy going sort of unnoticed. Scored last week, and the Titans are second-worst against fantasy TEs.
13Martellus BennettPITShows up (fantasy-wise) whenever he wants so play him and hope for the best I guess.
14Jared CookCHIBears middle-of-the-pack against TEs and since their tops against everything else, he'll be vital.
15Kyle Rudolph@SEAHuge disappointments including a donut in the past few weeks but redzone targets give him a chance.
16Marcedes LewisDETHigher on him than most since the Lions are eighth-worst against the TE.
17Brandon MyersTBHas really been Palmer's most consistent target and while I do think Moore lights it up, Myers could be solid.
18Dennis Pitta@CLEProduction has declined to say the least and Flacco is awful on the road.
19Rob Housler@GBHe's been really impressive and makes good moves to get past guys.
20Jacob Tamme@CINBengals are sixth-worst against TEs and he's due for a decent game soon.
21Dwayne AllenMIANo Fleener means Allen will have the timeshare to himself.
22Logan PaulsenCARHighly-touted since Davis's injury but too many other options for RGIII.
23Joel Dreessen@CINHe's the consummate vulture and Cincy gives up a healthy 63 yards to TEs.
24Jermichael FinleyARIHe's super inconsistent and I hate him and he's playing against my Cardinals.
25Anthony Fasano@INDColts give up the least fantasy points to opposing TEs. Yikes.
