2011 Fantasy Football, Week 14 Tight End Rankings: Gronkowski On Verge Of Making History

Picture

Rob Gronkowski (Credits Below)

_1) ROB GRONKOWSKI ( @WASH)- One more receiving  TD and Mr. Gronkowski has the all time record for tight ends with 14. He should get that this week against the Redskins.

2) JIMMY GRAHAM ( @TENN)- Graham has been running neck and neck with Gronkowski this year as the league’s top fantasy TE. Last week he had seven receptions and another TD against the Lions.

3) ANTONIO GATES ( BUFF)- Gates continues to be solid for the Chargers although he only has four touchdowns on the season. The Chargers look ready to make their late season playoff push which should bode well for everyone in the San Diego offense. Antonio should have an excellent game Sunday versus the Bills.
 
4) JERMICHAEL FINLEY (OAK)- Finley had six catches for 81 yards and a TD last week against the Giants. He was targeted 11 times though and dropped several passes. This week he draws the Raiders who game up 30+ points to Miami last week. I expect another solid outing for Finley Sunday.

5) JASON WITTEN (NYG)- Witten hasn’t done much the last two weeks but I expect a turn around this week as he faces the porous New York Giant defense. There should be a ton of points to go around in this game.

6) TONY GONZALEZ ( @CAR)- Tony went for 7 catches and 100 yards last week as he continues to be a focal point in the Falcon offense. Gonzo draws a match up with a Panther secondary that held him in check the first time the two met in Atlanta.

7) VERNON DAVIS ( @ARIZ)- Davis draws a 7 ranking this week based solely on the history of his games versus Arizona. In 11 games he has six TD’s including a score earlier this year against the Cardinal defense. The Cardinals have struggled this year against the pass. Davis is a TE1 this week.

8) AARON HERNANDEZ ( @WASH)- Hernandez faces a Redskin defense that has not been too solid lately stopping the opposing team’s TE’s. Aaron received nine targets in last week’s game but unfortunately his TD production has gone down since his mid season injury. His targets are still there making him a low lever TE1 this week.

9) KELLEN WINSLOW ( @JAX)- Winslow draws a top 10 ranking his week based on the fact that Jacksonville has struggled all year to stop the tight end position especially near the red zone. If Josh Freeman plays I like Winslow even more this week to have a great game.

10) HEATH MILLER ( CLEVE)- Again match ups rule this week’s rankings as Miller has owned the Browns in the past. Cleveland does a great job also against opposing team’s wideouts making Heath an even more attractive play this week. He is a low end TE1 this week.

11) BRANDON PETTIGREW (MINN)- Pettigrew torched the Vikes last time out for 11 receptions and 100+ yards receiving. After watching the Vikings secondary last week against Tim Tebow I am sure Pettigrew will be in for another great line this week.

12) JERMAINE GRESHAM (HOU)- Gresh who had a touchdown called back last week on a bad call still managed seven targets in the game versus Pittsburgh. He still remains a vital part of the Cincinnati offense and is a high end TE2 this week at home versus Houston.

13) DUSTIN KELLER
14) JAKE BALLARD
15) ED DICKSON
16) KEVIN BOSS
17) GREG OLSEN
18) JEREMY SHOCKEY
19) BRENT CELEK
20) ANTHONY FASANO
21) VISANTHE SHIANCOE
22) BEN WATSON
23) MERCEDES LEWIS
24) OWEN DANIELS
