2009 Fantasy Football Tight End Ranking

Stephen Kersey — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:52:51 +0000

One of the most top heavy positions in fantasy football in 2009 is the tight end position. While there is talent at the top of the list, the talent is relatively shallow. Here is a look at the best of the best in 2009 fantasy football at the tight end position:

1. Tony Gonzalez, Atlanta Falcons
After being underrated the last few seasons in fantasy football, Tony Gonzalez is impossible to ignore right now. He’s on the Falcons now and could have another huge season.

2. Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers
Even though Antonio Gates struggled with injuries and never seemed to be 100%, he was still solid in 2008. Expect a better year this season.

3. Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys
With Terrell Owens gone to Buffalo, Jason Witten will likely become the number one receiver in Dallas. Tony Romo loves throwing to him so expect big things.

4. Dallas Clark, Indianapolis Colts
Injury is a concern but Dallas Clark is a very good option when he’s healthy. His ceiling is extremely high this season — especially with Marvin Harrison out of the picture.

5. Owen Daniels, Houston Texas
Even though he gets no pub, Owen Daniels is a very solid tight end. He offers a solid point producer in fantasy football at a premium position.

Playoff Fantasy Football Rankings – Tight Ends

admin — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 02:57:42 +0000

Brent Celek, Philadelphia Eagles
Brent Celek has quietly been one of the most productive tight ends in 2008 playoff fantasy football. Donovan McNabb likes to look for Celek, especially near the goal line. He’s a safe gamble to haul in at least a few passes this weekend.

Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers
Although Heath Miller doesn’t always get the targets, he’s a talented tight end who is capable of having a big game. At different points in his career, he’s appeared to be on the brink of really breaking out. This weekend, he has a decent shot of scoring a touchdown.

Todd Heap, Baltimore Ravens
Not too long ago, Todd Heap was one of the best fantasy tight ends in the entire NFL. This year, he started slow and then slowly started to produce better once Joe Flacco got comfortable with him. This week he doesn’t have a high ceiling but he should see at least a few passes thrown his way.

LJ Smith, Philadelphia Eagles
Although Celek has been the more productive tight end as of late, don’t forget about LJ Smith. He’s talented, he has experience and he’s always seemingly been a McNabb favorite. Around the goal line, the Eagles have a tendency to look at their tight ends — which makes Smith a decent enough start.

Overrated Fantasy Tight Ends – Fantasy 2008

admin — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 01:50:40 +0000

Antonio Gates – Coming off of an injury, Antonio Gates might need until midseason to be 100%.

Todd Heap – Speaking of injuries, Todd Heap is the walking injury bug. Simply can’t trust him.

Tony Scheffler – Very good talent but Tony Scheffler is still a work in progress as an NFL player.

Greg Olsen – As a second year player, Greg Olsen has good promise. Problem is he shares time with Desmond Clark.

Kevin Boss – Don’t let the Super Bowl blind you to the fact that he’s mostly a blocking option for the Giants.

Tight End Rankings – 2008 Fantasy Football Draft Projections

admin — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 03:31:18 +0000

Tight end used to be a depleted position in fantasy football. Each year, there seemed to be only a couple quality tight ends. However, this year is different. There are about 15 legitimate tight end prospects, who could all conceivably have big seasons in 2008.

Here is our ranking of the top ten tight ends:

1. Antonio Gates – Gates remains the best tight end in the game.
2. Jason Witten – Great offense and huge potential in 2008.
3. Kellen Winslow – Amazing potential despite character concerns.
4. Tony Gonzalez – Old pro still bringing the stats.
5. Dallas Clark – If healthy, Clark should have a big year.
6. Chris Cooley – Very good talent who should be featured in 2008.
7. Benjamin Watson – Is ready for the elusive breakout season.
8. Todd Heap – If Heap plays 16 games, he’ll be a stud.
9. Vernon Davis – Few players have Davis’ potential.
10. Jeremy Shockey – He is still injured but he should bounce back.
