Fantasy Football 2010 - TE's

Often a position that is overlooked throughout the preseason, but too many times the tight ends decide the difference between a win and a loss during fantasy football. How many times have you been there Sunday night, praying to the Gods of Miller (or Bud, we don't discriminate) Lite that your tight end playing Monday night will come up with 9 points so you can win the week. Always to be disappointed when they get 7 or 8. We'll help you get through that.


1) Antonio Gates- No magazines have this guy ranked #1. I wouldn't either, if Vincent Jackson wasn't suspended for the first three games.
Expect Rivers to find this guy early and often.


2) Jermichael Finley- This is my sleeper of all time sleeper picks.
You will get great value out of this guy, trust me. A pass happy offense won't hurt either.


3) Dallas Clark- Clark blows me away with his ability to get open. He will line up anywhere on the field. Plus you have Manning throwing him the ball.


4) Vernon Davis- A break out last year. The "Duke" led all tight ends with 13 TD's last year. I expect less TD's but that's ok, since he has the hands of a Greek God.


5) Jason Witten- Romo's BFF can catch it with the best of them. 1,000 yards is great but lack of TD's has hurt over the years.


6) Brent Celek- In his fourth year as a pro. Should eclipse pro bowl status with Kolb firing it all over the place.


7) Kellen Winslow- With a trio of young wideouts, Winslow will be Josh Freeman's main target.


8) Zach Miller- Put up great fantasy numbers, but had the worst Quarterbacks in the league throwing to him. You know Campbell loves his Tight Ends.


9) Chris Cooley- Cooley should really benefit with McNabb. Shanahan has made his tight ends look great in his offense.


10) Owen Daniels- A knee injury should not limit this guy's production, with Matt Schaub throwing him the ball.


11) Tony Gonzalez- He's like a fine wine, but Gonzalez's production will be limited by the young guys in front of him.


12) John Carlson- Kind of struggled with Hasselbeck last season. Pete Carroll uses his tight ends, so I see Carlson as a guy on the rise, that's good.


13) Greg Olsen- Tough year for Olsen. Martz hates his tight ends, so this could be a battle for Olsen. Hard working Olsen should see alot of balls over the middle, but shouldn't see alot of TD's.

14) Visanthe Shiancoe
15) Jeremy Shockey
16) Heath Miller
17) Kevin Boss
18) Dustin Keller
19) Jermaine Gresham
20) Ben Watson
