Dynasty Tight Ends Rankings

Back to Rankings   -   Print

1.      Rob Gronkowski - Patriots
Has had an incredible start to his career. Definition of a Beast. Redzone monster.
 
2.      Jimmy Graham - Saints
A large, uber-athletic receiver that happens to play tight end, Graham is a matchup nightmare. Ceiling is sky high.
 
3.      Jermichael Finley - Packers
Right there with Gronk and Jimmy for the most talented TE in the league. Injury concerns and production are only questions.
 
4.      Aaron Hernandez - Patriots
A nice young player that needs to be treated more of like a WR than a TE with the Pats using 2-TE sets often. He's a matchup problem and in a great situation where Brady will look his way often. May lose TD's to his TE counterpart Gronknowski, but the yardage will go to Hernendez.
 
5.      Vernon Davis - 49ers
He looks like a young Shannon Sharpe. Limited by his QB, but he turned it on down the stretch and was unstoppable during the playoffs.
 
6.      Jermaine Gresham - Bengals
Early projections give him a higher upside than Jermichael Finley. Stash, wait and see.
 
7.      Antonio Gates - Chargers
Slowed by injuries, Gates still has elite talent.
 
8.      Jason Witten - Cowboys
A solid player in a pass happy situation in Dallas. Needs to get into the end zone more often which is going to be tough with numerous weapons around him.
 
9.      Brandon Pettigrew - Lions
Becoming a consistent and productive receiving option in Detroit. His value is still climbing.
 
10.      Fred Davis - Redskins
Really impressing while stepping in for Cooley. Grab him while he is semi-cheap.
 
11.      Dustin Keller - Jets
Big time player waiting for the Jets to release the reigns from Sanchize.
 
12.      Jared Cook - Titans
Huge upside should see more action in 2010.
 
13.      Ed Dickson (R) - Ravens
Could grow into an important target for Joe Flacco. Very athletic.
 
14.      Zach Miller - Seahawks
A surprise move signing with Seattle. Still a very solid long term TE1, but 2011 might be inconsistent considering the Seahawks QB play.
 
15.      Brent Celek - Eagles
Rebounded a bit in 2011 and has a chance to build on that next year.
 
16.      Kyle Rudolph - Vikings (R)
A much needed element to the Vikings passing game. Solid numbers to follow.
 
17.      Owen Daniels - Texans
Coming off of an ACL tear, but extremely gifted and was in the middle of a big breakout.
 
18.      Lance Kendricks - Rams (R)
In a great situation on a team that desperately needs another receiving option for Sam Bradford. Worth the reach.
 
19.      Greg Olsen - Panthers
Out of Chicago, Olsen is primed to fulfill his potential as a Top 10 TE. Should develop a strong rapport with Cam Newton.
 
20.      Marcedes Lewis - Jaguars
One of the most athletic players on the Jags squad and he stands at 6-6 and 275 lbs. A movable chess piece on a roster with limited receiving weapons.
 
21.      Kellen Winslow - Bucs
Inconsistent with an injury history have us leery of his long term value, but he is productive. Gets a bump in PPR leagues.
 
22.      Tony Moeaki - Chiefs
Loaded with upside, Moeaki is on IR for 2011.
 
23.      Heath Miller - Steelers
He is what he is. Consistent with limited upside.
 
24.      Chris Cooley - Redskins
Cooley seems to have plateaued after marrying his hottie wife. Still a big part of a Redskins offense with little receiving talent around him.
 
25.      Luke Stocker (R) - Bucs
Complete tight end prospect lands in a situation that could be very beneficial in a few seasons. Will be K2's understudy for now. K2 tends to get frequently injured.
 
26.      Jordan Cameron (R) - Browns
He has ideal build and athleticism. Very raw, but could pay dividends.
 
27.      Jacob Tamme - Colts
Worth a stash as Dallas Clark is not getting any younger.
 
28.      Evan Moore - Browns
A 6'6" player that can run. Big time upside currently limited by the presence of Ben Watson.
 
29.      Dallas Clark - Colts
As Manning goes, so does Clark. Maybe you can squeeze one more year out of him in 2012. Maybe...
 
30.      Jake Ballard - Giants
Solid but unspectacular pass catcher, Ballard played well enough to earn TE2 status.
 
31.      Dennis Pitta - Ravens
Limited upside due to age and the presence of a more physically gifted option in Ed Dickson.
 
32.      Julius Thomas - Broncos
Former basketball player turned tight end. Sound familiar? He's raw, but will major upside due to physical gifts.
 
33.      Tony Gonzalez - Falcons
Ageless wonder.
 
34.      Kevin Boss - Raiders
Limited upside option that has TE2 potential if healthy.
 
35.      Anthony Fasano - Dolphins
Slightly above average bye week option.
 
36.      John Carlson - Seahawks
Missed all of 2011 with an injury, needs a change of scenery with Zach Miller in town.
 
37.      Scott Chandler - Bills
A large red zone target and that is about it.
 
38.      James Casey - Texans
Has potential, but clock is ticking as 2012 will be his age 28 season.
 
39.      Tony Scheffler - Lions
Stealing TD's from Brandon Pettigrew.
 
40.      Martellus Bennett - Cowboys
Could find himself with more playing time in 2012 on a new team. Decent upside at 25 years old.
