2011 Fantasy Football Rankings: Tight Ends

It really is rare to laotce a professional person in whom you may have some faith. In the world nowadays, nobody absolutely cares about showing others the way in this issue. How fortunate I am to have now found a real wonderful web site as this. It truly is people like you exactly who make a true difference these days through the suggestions they talk about.

Hey I dierovsced your page by mistake when i was searching Yahoo for this concern, I have to point out your website is truly very helpful I also really like the design, its great!

Aaron Hernandez obviously has had a better pre season than Rob Gronkowski this year I don't know why you have him rated lower he should be top ten before you know it, not number 11 more like #5 when Antonio Gates get out for the year and Hernandez already has 500 yards receiving with 5 TD's and

mite wanna give cooley a bump....by about 20 or so spots. He is expected to be back at full practice next week, undraftable????

I think Lance Kendricks should be top 10, Gronkowksi should be downgraded anyone agree?

@Walt
Why have you not downgraded Gates. His injuries are obviously more severe than we once thought.

@Charles,

About 4 weeks ago, I posted almost the same thing that Williamson is saying, just minus the actual numbers.

After the preseason game the other night, it's also lookin like Burleson might see an uptick in targets, too, which would obviously eat into Pettigrew's #'s even more...

For Kevin Boss, you wrote "The good news is that the Giants didn't pick a tight end in the 2011 NFL Draft." No, but the Raiders did pick Richard Gordon in the sixth round.

Walter, are you sure about Pettigrew? I recently read this about him, and it kind of worries me. From Rotoworld:

Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson suggests Brandon Pettigrew's 2010 receiving numbers "might inflate his true value as a receiving option."
It's valid point. The inflation was most apparent with a weak-armed Shaun Hill filling in for Matthew Stafford. In 10 games as Hill's dump-off receiver, Pettigrew averaged 5.6 receptions and 61.5 yards. In three games started by Stafford, a more aggressive downfield passer, Pettigrew averaged just 2.0 receptions and 10.7 yards. It's fair to expect a decline in production this year.

I'm so anti-Gates this year it's not even funny. Somebody look up the numbers on Ben Coates... similar size, similar domincance in fantasy, and once he hit 30, his production steeply declined.

I think we're lookin at the beginning of that here with Gates. These plantar fasciitis injuries are grueling for a man of his size.

Watch out for rookie Julius Thomas in Denver. Not saying he should be your fantasy starter or anything, but he has looked great in camp and should be worthy of a late round sleeper TE2... and definitely deserves a top 20 ranking here based on pure upside.

Andy Reid = walrus

I feel like TEs are going way early this year do you think a Greg Olsen-Jimmy Graham combo is respectable enough if you loaded up on other positions early and end up in a jam?

Antonio Gates is on the chargers PUP list, not off to a good start, his planter fasciitis has returned early on in camp. I think you should move him down on your list, its not looking good for him to complete a whole season.

why was my comment pulled? all i did was point out the multiple reasons not to draft brandon pettigrew i can't help you didn't notice? it isn't like i did it rudely but it was pretty messed up to pull the comment
