2011 Fantasy Football, Week 11 Tight End Rankings: Will The Flood “Gates” Open In Chicago?
2) ROB GRONKOWSKI (KC)- Gronk posted another solid performance last week going for eight catches with 113 yards and two TD's. This week he draws a reeling Kansas City team who the Patriots will most likely blow out early. The good thing is that the Patriots will not take the foot off the gas until late in the game. He and Jimmy Graham are clearly the top two TE's in the NFL this year.
3) JERMICHAEL FINLEY (TB)- Finley takes on the Buccaneers this week at Lambeau coming off a three catch, 67 yards performance. I like him this week to score at least one TD and put up 50-75 yards receiving.
4) AARON HERNANDEZ (KC)- Hernandez said on Mike and Mike yesterday that the offense goes through Rob Gronkowski (See above). It is becoming clear that while Gronkowski is Brady's preferred red zone target , Hernandez also gives defense's nightmares with his athleticism. I like him to get back on track this week with a touchdown and 4-6 catches.
5) JASON WITTEN (@WAS)- Witten had a quiet week last week in the Cowboy's rout of Buffalo. He came into the game scoring TD's in four out of his last five games. This week brings rival Washington which Witten has had some success against in the past.
6) TONY GONZALEZ ( TEN)- Gonzo is hot and on pace to score double digit TD's this year at the ripe old age of 35. The Titan's rank 15th in the league in pass defense.

7) ED DICKSON (CIN)- A tiny bit hesitant to put Dickson up this high after a stellar last week performance as he went off for two TD's and was targeted 14 times in the Raven's loss to Seattle. I see tough a Bengal defense putting the clamps on the outside receivers for Baltimore setting up many more chances for Dickson to shine again this week.
8) FRED DAVIS (DAL)- Davis has been quite underwhelming the last few weeks but he faces a Cowboy's defense that is the second worst in the league covering the opposing teams TE. Based on match up alone I like Freddie's chances this week for a solid game.
9) BRANDON PETTIGREW (CAR)- Brandon was targeted nine times last week as he continues to be a safety valve for Matthew Stafford. The Lions take on the Panthers this week which looks like a get well game for a struggling Detroit offense. Look for Pettigrew to find pay dirt this week.
10) VERNON DAVIS (ARI)- Vernon who finally reached the end zone last week on a botched coverage play by the Giant's line backing crew, still mangaed only three catches in the game. He faces Arizona this week, a team he hasn't had much success against in the past. Vernon continues to fall down the charts every week.
11) KELLEN WINSLOW (@GB)- Winslow has a nice match up this week against a Green Bay secondary giving up plenty of receiving yards. The Buc's also figure to be abandoning the run early in the game as they play catch up to the undefeated high flying Green Bay offense. Great potential for Winslow this week to have a great game.
12) GREG OLSEN (@DET)- Olsen received a team high 11 targets last week but didnt do much with all those opportunities. Fantasy football is about opportunity though, and as long as he gets them, his potential makes him a worthy start.
13) BEN WATSON
14) BRENT CELEK
