Back with more rankings this morning. Also, I had my dynasty league draft last night. Some very interesting developments. I'll tease you with this, then I'll write it up tomorrow. The first four picks were Matthews, Bryant, Best, and Spiller. Who do you think went fifth?
Anyway, with the tight ends, these rankings reflect how I feel about the guys at the position. As far as where they'd go in a league that combines WR/TE, I'd say the top four are somewhere in the 20-40 range with the WRs, depending on how much your league values yardage versus scores. The more your league rewards yardage, the less valuable tight ends become.
To me, the top four guys are the targets here, otherwise, wait, and gamble later.
1. Dallas Clark -- Had a bunch of massive games in 2009. A difference maker. Watch the injury.
2. Antonio Gates -- Still a huge advantage, but will defenses hone in without V-Jax?
3. Vernon Davis -- Tied the record for tight ends with 13 scores in 2009. Top three are tightly bunched.
4. Jermichael Finley -- The upside is huge, and if you saw the playoff game, you are thinking he'll have a huge year too.
5. Tony Gonzalez -- Still reliable, I'm just not going to pay for the name.
6. Brent Celek -- Will Kolb help or hurt? Celek was good last year, and Kolb would be wise to keep him highly involved.
7. Jason Witten -- Total bust last year. More skill player talent in Dallas means less for Witten.
8. Greg Olsen -- Lots of haters with Martz, but I still like the talent.
9. Visanthe Shiancoe -- All depends on four.
10. John Carlson -- Carlson was underutilized in 2009, but scored in each of his last four games.
11. Dustin Keller -- Another playoff breakout, Keller should improve if Sanchez does.
12. Owen Daniels -- Coming off the torn ACL.
13. Chris Cooley -- Is at least interesting with the Shanahan/McNabb combo. Look out for Fred Davis though.
14. Zach Miller -- Raiders pass game will be better.
15. Jermaine Gresham -- The best rookie, some upside here.
Cheers,
TFAM
