2011 Fantasy Football, Week 13 Tight End Rankings: Gronkowski Against The Hapless Colts
2) JIMMY GRAHAM (DET)- Graham had a big Monday night scoring two touchdowns against the hapless G Men secondary. He now has 67 receptions on the year with eight touchdowns. This week he faces a Detroit defense that should allow him to roam free in what should be a high scoring contest. Graham did receive a vicious hit late in the game Monday night so keep an eye on the injury report.
3) ANTONIO GATES (@ JAX)- Gates faces Jacksonville in the Monday night game. Gates scored last week and has continued to be solid playing through his ongoing foot issues. Gates has four TD's on the season.
4) JASON WITTEN (@ ARI)- Jason remains a weekly TE1 play as he goes to Arizona this week to take on the Cardinals. Witten has 56 catches and five touchdowns on the season.
5) BRENT CELEK (@ SEA)- Celek shows up in my top five this week mainly because of the Seahawk's inabilities this year to cover the opposing teams TE position. Seattle has allowed three TD's and 220 yards to TE's the last three weeks. Play him with confidence this week.
6) JERMICHAEL FINLEY (@NYG)- Finley drops out of my top 5 this week because the Packer's just have too many weapons to predict his weekly totals. He is becoming a weekly boom or bust candidate and a major disappointment to fantasy owners. This week he faces a Giant's defense that is ranked 26th against the pass so cross your fingers and hope Rodgers looks his way.
7) AARON HERNANDEZ (IND)- Hernandez has the talent but Gronkowski gets all the glory as the New England tight ends go. This week Aaron gets the Colt's and should get plenty of chances to score as defenses start to concentrate more and more on his counterpart in the Pat's high octane offense.
8) TONY GONZALEZ (@ HOU)- Gonzalez continued his fountain of youth season with a nine catch performance last week. He has 59 catches on the year to go along with seven touchdowns and continues to be one of Matt Ryan's favorite red zone targets.
9) VERNON DAVIS (STL)- Davis has had some excellent past success against the Rams as he goes for his third consecutive 70+ yards performance against them. Although he has been a major disappointment this year fantasy wise, I do like his matchup this week and a good one to take advantage of against the Rams.
10) DUSTN KELLER (@WAS)- Keller finally put a consistent effort in last week at home versus Buffalo scoring two touchdowns. He ended the game with four catches and a 61 yard performance. This could be the start for "Sanchise" to start checking down more looking for Keller. He is worth a shot while he is hot.
11) FRED DAVIS (NYJ)- Freddie scored last week against Seattle and will look to continue his streak against the Jets. New York will blitz Rex Grossman quite a bit Sunday giving Davis plenty of chances to roam.
12) JERMAINE GRESHAM (@PIT)- Gresham had a five catch, 68 yard, one TD performance last week as he looks to be recovering nicely from a lingering mid season hamstring problem. Jermaine scored last time against the Steelers.

14) JARED COOK
15) GREG OLSEN
