Week 11 TE Rankings - player profiles and stat projections will be updated throughout the week

Week 11 --- QB Rankings --- RB Rankings --- WR Rankings --- TE Rankings --- Defense Rankings --- Waiver Wire Pickups --- Picks & Predictions --- Player Injury Updates


1. Rob Gronkowski - NE = KC ----- Just as Wes Welker had to deal with shutdown corner Darrell Revis in last weeks game, the Chiefs top corner Brandon Flowers should be shadowing Welker this week. This means that Gronkowski easily has the opportunity to once again flourish in the Patriots passing attack this week as Tom Brady's top target and red zone option. 80-125 receiving yards is definitely possible, as well as 1-2 touchdowns.

2. Jermichael Finley - GB = TB ----- While the consistent week to week stats are not there, the potential with Finley is just too great to not have him starting in every fantasy football lineup. So as long as Aaron Rodgers is under center and Finley is healthy, he is a must start TE for fantasy teams. Add in a matchup against a so-so Tampa Bay defense this week, and Finley could easily find the endzone in this game.

3. Jason Witten - Dal = @Was ----- About as reliable as they come, Witten is always a good bet to tally 50 receiving yards, as he averages 65 receiving yards per game this season. A matchup against the division rival Redskins this week could have Witten reaching the endzone in this game.

4. Antonio Gates - SD = @Chi ----- Finally looking somewhat healthy, Gates has definitely been targeted by Philip Rivers in recent weeks, and with the Chargers facing a tough Chicago Bears defense this week it makes sense that Rivers will once again target Gates plenty in this game.

5. Vernon Davis - SF = Ari ----- With Frank Gore injured, it is very possible that the 49ers finally look to pass the ball a little more in this game against a very susceptible Arizona secondary. If anything, Davis definitely has red zone touchdown potential this week.

6. Aaron Hernandez - NE = KC ----- Like anyone in the Patriots passing game this week, Hernandez has plenty of potential to hook up with Tom Brady for some yards and possible TD.

7. Fred Davis - Was = Dal ----- The best receiving option in the Redskins offense, Davis should see at least a dozen passes his way in this game.

8. Tony Gonzalez - Atl = Ten ----- Nothing special here about the matchup, but Gonzalez is always a safe threat to tally 50 receiving yards, with the potential for more always possible as well.

9. Brandon Pettigrew - Det = Car ----- Consistently playing the here I am now I am not game, Pettigrew offers fantasy football teams plenty of potential but very little reliability.

10. Brent Celek - Phi = @NYG ----- 32% --- With DeSean Jackson grumpy, and Jeremy Maclin continuously getting injured, Celek has slowly become Michael Vick's most trusted receiving target over the past few weeks. A matchup against a solid Giants defense this week could easily have Vick looking for quick passes to Celek in this game.

11. Greg Olsen - Car = @Det ----- After Steve Smith, Olsen is definitely Cam Newton's favorite target. Anything between 40-80 receiving yards is possible for Olsen in this game as Newton and the Panthers offense looks to bounce back this week.

12. Kellen Winslow - TB = @GB ----- 67% --- The Packers defense has been awful at stopping the pass, and tight ends in specific seem to always have their way against the Packers linebackers. In other words, a very athletic Kellen Winslow could easily put up his best stats all season in this game. 50-100 receiving yards and 1 touchdown is not crazy to imagine for Winslow this week.

13. Jake Ballard - NYG = Phi ----- 45% --- One of Eli Manning's top red zone targets, Ballard could easily see plenty of passes his way in this game, as the Eagles top cornerbacks will be covering the Giants wide receivers, thus leaving Ballard with the best matchup for Manning to throw to in this game.

14. Dustin Keller - NYJ = @Den ----- A nice matchup for Keller if Mark Sanchez decides to throw it to him. In other words, plenty of potential for Keller but no guarantee for fantasy football lineups this week.

15. Visanthe Shiancoe - Min = Oak ----- 20% --- One of Christian Ponders favorite and more trusted targets.

16. Ed Dickson - Bal = Cin ----- 12% --- After racking up 10 receptions in last weeks game, there is little doubt that Joe Flacco has not enjoyed passing to his tight ends over the last few weeks. Another 5 receptions for 50-80 yards is likely for Dickson this week as well, and a touchdown is definitely within reach.

17. Jermaine Gresham - Cin = @Bal ----- 34% --- Considering that Andy Dalton played very well in last weeks matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, a struggling Baltimore Ravens defense this week could once again have Dalton finding more open receivers than one would think. Gresham is definitely a threat to rack up some receptions in this game, especially if AJ Green is limited because of injury.

18. Scott Chandler - Buf = @Mia ----- 36% --- Always a scoring threat.

19. Jared Cook - Ten = @Atl ----- As usual, Cook has potential but nothing more.

20. Anthony Fasano - Mia = Buf ----- 2% --- With Matt Moore playing very well in recent weeks, Fasano has really found his groove in the Dolphins passing attack. In what is becoming the norm in Miami, Fasano is an excellent red zone scoring threat this week against a weak Buffalo Bills pass defense.

21. Benjamin Watson - Cle = Jac

22. Marcedes Lewis - Jac = @Cle

23. Zach Miller - Sea = @StL

24. Jeremy Shockey - Car = @Det

25. Kevin Boss - Oak = @Min

26. Dennis Pitta - Bal = Cin

27. Evan Moore - Cle = Jac

28. Tony Scheffler - Det = Car

29. Todd Heap - Ari = @SF

30. Lance Kendricks - StL = Sea

31. Daniel Fells - Den = NYJ

32. Delanie Walker - SF = Ari

33. Kyle Rudolph - Min = Oak

34. Michael Hoomanawanui - StL = Sea

35. Randy McMichael - SD = @Chi

36. Kellen Davis - Chi = SD

37. Martellus Bennett - Dal = @Was

38. Rob Housler - Ari = @SF

39. Julius Thomas - Den = NYJ

40. Jeff King - Ari = @SF

41. Travis Beckum - NYG = Phi

42. Virgil Green - Den = NYJ
