2012 Fantasy Football TE Rankings – Week 16

17 December 2012

.
With an exciting 15th week under our belts, here are the LestersLegends 2012 Week 16 fantasy football tight end rankings.
.
1. Aaron Hernandez, New England Patriots
Hernandez is averaging 82.3 yards and a touchdown in his past three games. Even if Rob Gronkowski does return, Hernandez should be a key option in the Patriots’ passing attack against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
.
2. Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys
Witten scored for just the second time this year. He is a steady option and has serious upside against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints have allowed five tight end touchdowns in the past six games.
.
3. Tony Gonzalez, Atlanta Falcons
Gonzo has scored in two of his past three games. He’s up to eight touchdowns on the year. The Detroit Lions have allowed eight tight end touchdowns this year.
.
4. Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints
Graham has gone quiet as a wrist injury has slowed him down. Still, it’s hard to imagine sitting a player with Graham’s potential in the biggest fantasy game of the year.
.
5. Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers
Miller is averaging 85 yards with two touchdowns in his past three games. He had 53 yards and a touchdown in his first meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals.
.
6. Greg Olsen, Carolina Panthers
Olsen ranks sixth among receivers with 747 yards. The Oakland Raiders have allowed eight tight end touchdowns, including three in the past four games.
.
7. Dennis Pitta, Baltimore Ravens
Pitta has averaged 58 yards and a touchdown in his past four games. He has seven scores on the year. The New York Giants have allowed three tight end touchdowns in the past seven games.
.
8. Owen Daniels, Houston Texans
Daniels ranks ninth in tight end yardage with 662 yards. He’s also one of eight tight ends with six or more touchdowns. The Minnesota Vikings have allowed seven tight end scores.
.
9. Jermaine Gresham, Cincinnati Bengals
Gresham ranks eighth in tight end yardage with 699. He has two touchdowns in his past four games. The Steelers have allowed five tight end touchdowns.
.
10. Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers
Gates snapped a streak of four straight games without a touchdown. He’s a risk/reward play against the New York Jets.

2011 Fantasy Football TE Rankings – Week 16

20 December 2011

.
Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 16 2011 fantasy football tight end rankings.
.
1. Rob Gronkowski vs. Miami: Quiet last week so he’ll likely score multiple TDs this week.
2. Jimmy Graham vs. Atlanta: Caught seven passes for 82 yards and a score in the first meeting.
3. Antonio Gates @ Detroit: Tough draw against Baltimore last week, but should rebound.
4. Tony Gonzalez @ New Orleans: Overlooked last week, but he’s been hot. Had six catches for 71 yards and a score in the first meeting.
5. Jason Witten vs. Philadelphia: With so many weapons it’s hard to key in on Witten.
6. Aaron Hernandez vs. Miami: If the Dolphins key on Gronk, Hernandez will make them pay.
7. Jermichael Finley vs. Chicago: Solid option this week, but the risk of rest is real.
8. Brent Celek @ Dallas: Monster game last week. Caught seven passes for 94 yards and a score in the first meeting.
9. Vernon Davis @ Seattle: Caught five passes for 47 yards in the first meeting.
10. Dustin Keller vs. New York Giants: A bit inconsistent, but has averaged 49.5 ypg this year.
11. Anthony Fasano @ New England: Averaging 41.4 yards over the past seven games with four TDs.
12. Jermaine Gresham vs. Arizona: Quiet the past few games, but has had at least three catches in all but one game he’s played in this year.
13. Brandon Pettigrew vs. San Diego: Averaging 53.0 yards the past two games.
14. Kellen Winslow @ Carolina: Averaging 42.0 yards over the past four games.
15. Marcedes Lewis @ Tennessee: Averaging 45.3 yards in past four games.

Inside the numbers:

Jason Witten did not let me down last week, and I’m going back to him as my top option again this week. Everybody else has question marks.
Vernon Davis was a letdown, but I expect him to bounce back this week.
Brent Celek is averaging 59 yards in his past three games with a pair of touchdowns.
Kevin Boss has scored in back-to-back games, and three of his past four.
Benjamin Watson had five catches for 47 yards and a touchdown the last time he faced Baltimore.
It’s totally a gut thing, but I think this week’s it Rob Gronkowski’s turn to be Brady’s favorite tight end.
I’ll have to see Antonio Gates practice before I rank him.
