20 Dec 10 Fantasy Football Week 10 Rankings: Top 20 Tight Ends

Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesWith Antonio Gates and Zach Miller among the tight ends missing this week due to bye weeks, along with some of the better tight ends putting up bad numbers in 2010, and the tight end group appears a little thin this week. Let's take a look at how they currently rank for me:JacobReebok Chicago Bears #6 Jay Cutler Realtree camo Jersey
Tamme – Indianapolis Colts – vs. CincinnatiAaron Hernandez – New England Patriots – at PittsburghVernon Davis – San Francisco 49ers – vs. St. LouisTony Gonzalez – Atlanta Falcons – vs. BaltimoreJason Witten – Dallas Cowboys – at New York GiantsMarcedes Lewis – Jacksonville Jaguars – vs. HoustonDustin Keller – New York Jets – vs. ClevelandChris Cooley – Washington Redskins – vs. PhiladelphiaTodd Heap – Baltimore Ravens – at AtlantaTony Moeaki – Kansas City Chiefs – at DenverKellen Winslow – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – vs. CarolinaHeath Miller – Pittsburgh Steelers – vs. New EnglandVisanthe Shiancoe – Minnesota Vikings – at ChicagoBrent Celek – Philadelphia Eagles – at WashingtonOwen Daniels – Houston Texans – at JacksonvilleBrandon Pettigrew – Detroit Lions – at BuffaloGreg Olsen – Chicago Bears – vs. MinnesotaBenjamin Watson – Cleveland Browns – vs. New York JetsKevin Boss – New York Giants – vs. DallasJohn Carlson – Seattle Seahawks – at ArizonaThoughts:Marcedes Lewis has shown a propensity to find the end zone, scoring seven touchdowns thus far this season (putting him second among tight ends). The Texans have allowed a league leading 20 Reebok Dallas Cowboys #82 Jason Witten Realtree camo Jersey
touchdown passes. It certainly appears like this is a perfect matchup for Lewis, making him a definite TE1 this week.It was a big week for Jacob Tamme, who had 11 receptions for 108 yards and a touchdown. Then again, it is hard to imagine him getting 17 targets again (though, with Austin Collie hurt, it appears much more possible). With the potential for a shootout with the Cincinnati, he should once again be a top option.Last time Brent Celek faced Washington, he had three catches for 27 yards and a touchdown. However, on the season he hasn't had more then four catches or 47 yards in any game. He has a favorable matchup and could finally breakout, but he's way too big of a risk given how poorly he's produced.The Giants defense is good, but it did allow Jason Witten to have nine catches for 95 yards and a touchdown in their last meeting. He's got to be considered a TE1 this week.Owen Daniels has been struggling with injuries and has been inconsistent throughout the season. Until he proves trustworthy, he’s a TE2.Heath Miller's high for the season is four receptions, coming in Week 1. He hasn't had more then 50 yards in a game and has scored just one touchdown. Good matchup or not, he's more of a TE2, though he's usable this week as a TE1 depending on your format.Without Randy Moss, it is very possible Visanthe Shiancoe becomes a big red zone target in Minnesota. He scored in Week 9, though he has just two TDs on the season and the Bears have allowed just five passing Reebok Dallas Cowboys #9 Tony Romo Realtree camo Jersey
TDs. Consider him a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 for this week.What are your thoughts on these rankings? Who is too high?
