3. Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys

Has 11 catches the past two weeks. Faces the Rams.

Didn’t catch a pass last week, but he’s a big time red-zone threat. He has five touchdowns entering this week’s game with Tampa Bay.

Bennett got back on track with five catches for 79 yards. Had 40 yards and a score in the first meeting with Dallas.

 

11. Brent Celek, Philadelphia Eagles

Fourth among TEs with 357 yards. Takes on Atlanta. 

 

12. Brandon Myers, Oakland Raiders

Averaging 55.7 yards. Hasn’t scored, which keeps him from a higher ranking. Takes on the Chiefs. 

 

13. Greg Olsen, Carolina Panthers

Faces a tough Bears team, which should lead to plenty of looks. 

 

14. Jared Cook, Tennessee Titans

Averaging 46.9 yards. Has the talent to have a big day, but Tennessee doesn’t utilize him enough. 

 

15.Brandon Pettigrew, Detroit Lions

Tough matchup against the Seahawks, but he’s a heavily targeted option.
