As it stands, here are the top ten tight ends to have on your roster at this point in the season. These players are worth trading for at the right cost.

1) Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers
While other tight ends are having great seasons, Gates is still the top dog in fantasy football. He’s such a touchdown threat that he remains a better tight end option than anyone else in the league. He’s catching the ball at a great clip and is destined to have a great season from here on out.

2) Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys
Witten had an off year last season, which caused him to slip in a lot of drafts. However, this year, Witten is playing great and is getting tons of looks from Tony Romo. In most leagues, Witten is currently the highest scoring tight end. Look for him to continue to play very well.

3) Dallas Clark, Indianapolis Colts
After a fantastic postseason last year in which Clark helped the Colts win the Super Bowl, he’s continued that over into the regular season this year. With some injuries to the Colts receivers, Clark is getting more passes thrown his way than ever.

4) Kellen Winslow, Cleveland Browns
Winslow is neck and neck with Gates as far as being the most talented tight end in the NFL. He’s a great receiver with fantastic hands, good speed and good toughness. Due to that skill, Winslow has a great upside going forward.

5) Tony Gonzalez, Kansas City Chiefs
While he isn’t as prolific as he used to be, Gonzalez is still a very good fantasy player. He catches a lot of passes and is still a huge threat in the red zone. Gonzalez usually plays better as the season goes along, so if you can buy him low, now would be a good time.

6) Ben Watson, New England Patriots
Watson is having a fantastic season to date. He has five touchdowns and is an emerging red zone target for the Patriots. The only reason he’s not higher on the list is because the Patriots have so many weapons on offense. However, he could easily end up in the top three if he keeps playing consistently.

7) Todd Heap, Baltimore Ravens
Heap hasn’t had a great season to date and has battled a couple injuries, but he’s still a top flight fantasy tight end. He’s still getting the looks and once he’s completely healed, he should regain his fantasy form. If Kyle Boller replaces Steve McNair at any point this season, Heap’s stock will rise as Boller relies heavily on Heap.

8) Chris Cooley, Washington Redskins
Cooley is just a very solid football player. He can do a lot and because of that, he’s a nice fantasy player. While he’s a step down from the top seven in this list, having Cooley as your tight end isn’t anything to be sad about. He’s solid and is always a touchdown threat.

9) Jeremy Shockey, New York Giants
Shockey had his first touchdown in Week 5, but he’s still a valuable option at tight end. He’s another highly skilled tight end who plays a lot like a wide receiver. He’s going to have a better second half of the season, so buying him low is a very good idea.

10) Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers
Miller had a relatively disappointing season last year. This year, he’s seeing a lot more passes coming his way. He’s been consistently hauling in between two and four passes a game. Miller has two touchdowns so far this season and should finish with around six or seven on the season.
