2011 Fantasy Football, Week 10 Tight End Rankings: Big Day Ahead For Patriots Duo

1) JIMMY GRAHAM (@ATL)- Graham caught six balls last week for 78 yards. He remains one of the few consistent players at the TE position. He should post solid numbers at Atlanta once again this week.

2) ANTONIO GATES (OAK)- Gates looked good last week and it looks to me that the Chargers offense is starting to come together. Put those two together and you have solid numbers each week from Gates. Antonio has nine career TD's against Oakland as well as two in last year's contests.

3) JERMICHAEL FINLEY (MIN)- Finley scored for the second week in a row and will try to continue his hot streak at home versus Minny in the Monday night spotlight. Finley is one of Aaron Rodgers main red zone targets so he is a must play each week.

4) JASON WITTEN (BUF)- Witten turned in a four catch, 71 yard performance last week adding a TD. With Miles Austin now out for  few weeks I expect Romo to rely a bit more on his favorite go to guy. 

5) ROB GRONKOWSKI (@ NYJ)- Gronkowski faces a tough Jets defense this week after coming off a eight catch, 101 yard one TD performance last week against New York's other team, the Giants. 

6) AARON HERNANDEZ (@ NYJ)- I am expecting Mr. Brady to rely heavily on his TE’s this week as Darrelle Revis and company shut down the Patriot receivers. Aaron has scored three weeks in a row now and is a solid TE1 this week.

7) BRANDON PETTIGREW (@ CHI)- Pettigrew comes fresh off his bye ready to take on a Bears defense that allowed him to score a TD in their first meeting earlier this year. 

8) TONY GONZALEZ (NO)- Gonzo scored once again last week and has become one of Matt Ryan's chief red zone targets in 2011. I expect this game to be a shootout with potential fantasy points abound. Plug him in your lineup and see what happens.

9) VERNON DAVIS (NYG)- Davis continues to fall down the rankings as he is being used much more as a blocker than a pass catcher. Jim Harbaugh loves smash mouth football and Davis continues to suffer. He is averaging just under 4 four catches per game which is not good considering his early season rankings. 

10) JAKE BALLARD (@SF)- Ballard is becoming a must start especially with the injuries to some of the Giants key offensive weapons. Jake has three TD's in his last five games and will continue to be a major red zone target for Eli Manning at San Francisco.

11) BRENT CELEK (ARI)- Celek gets a juicy match up against a porous Arizona defense this week. Brent has had seven receptions in both his last two games and is becoming the main target for Michael Vick in the west coast Philly offense. Celek is hot so I recommend you continue to roll with him.

12) OWEN DANIELS (@TBAY)- Daniels hasn't scored since Week 4. He is reliable in getting you 50 yards and maybe 4-5 catches but that seems to be the ceiling for him since Joel Dressen has emerged. 

13) FRED DAVIS
14) GREGG OLSEN
15) DUSTIN KELLER
16) VISANTHE SHIANCOE
17) JARED COOK
18) HEATH MILLER
19) BEN WATSON
20) KELLEN WINSLOW
21) SCOTT CHANDLER
22) JERMAINE GRESHAM
23) ANTHONY FASANO
24) ED DICKSON
