Week 16 – TE Rankings
1. Vernon Davis – SF = Det
A matchup against the worst pass defense in the NFL should allow the 49ers top receiving threat plenty of room to roam in this game. You know I wouldn’t even be surprised to see a career game from Davis in this one. 8-12 receptions, 100-150 receiving yards, 1-2 touchdowns.
2. Antonio Gates – SD = @Ten
Looking to clinch the #2 seed in the AFC playoffs, I fully expect all the Chargers starters to be playing the entire game in this matchup against a playoff hopeful Titans team. 50-100 receiving yards, 1 touchdown possible.
3. Jermichael Finley – GB = Sea
If you are willing to gamble for a big game, then Finley is your play at TE this week. The Seattle defense has been terrible in recent weeks, and they just allowed 6 receptions and 93 receiving yards to Kellen Winslow last week. I fully expect the Packers offense to put up a bunch of points in this game, and the emerging Jermichael Finley is a good bet to tally 50-80 receiving yards with a touchdown definitely possible.
4. Tony Gonzalez – Atl = Buf
A likely safer play at TE than Jermichael Finley this week, Gonzalez could easily be ranked at #3 in this list. However with Matt Ryan still trying to find his passing game after returning from injury, Roddy White getting more looks now that he won’t have a shutdown cornerback on him, the fact that the Buffalo Bills are terrible against the run, and Gonzalez may not see more than 5 passes his way in this game. 50-75 receiving yards, 1 touchdown possible.
5. Dallas Clark – Ind = NYJ
If the Colts starters play full out again in this game like they did last week, then Clark is definitely deserving of this ranking as he has been the best fantasy TE over the last two weeks. 50-100 receiving yards, 1 touchdown possible.
