NFL Week 10 Predictions: Projecting the Week's Top TEs

On occasion, tight ends can decide your fantasy matchup. 

While we're fixated on the quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers, a big game from most team's favorite red-zone target can be the difference between a win and narrow defeat. 

Here are Week 10's top tight ends.

Brent Celek, Philadelphia Eagles

Despite the Eagles' loss on Monday night, Celek caught seven passes for 60 yards and was targeted nine times. 

With DeSean Jackson being phased out of the offense by nearly every team this season, Celek has been the recipient of a variety of inside screens following play-fakes by Vick. 

He's also a very solid target over the middle when Philadelphia sends the rest of their receiving corps down the field. 

The Cardinals secondary is allowing 272 yards per game, so you better believe that they'll be going to the air early in this one. 

Tony Gonzalez, Atlanta Falcons

Don't give up on Gonzo just yet. He's still a very important part of the Falcons offense, and Matt Ryan looks to him often. 

Last season against the Saints, Gonzalez racked up 10 catches for 122 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. 

New Orleans' defense is not what it was in 2010, and in their last four games on the road, opposing quarterbacks have six touchdowns and only two interceptions against them. 

He's Ryan's security blanket, and after Atlanta establishes the run with Michael Turner—something I fully expect them to do in the first half—the play-action seam route should be wide open. 

Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys

When isn't Witten a top fantasy tight end?

Well, he definitely is this week. 

The Bills have been historically atrocious covering tight ends, and Witten is easily the most established guy they've faced all season. 

He had four catches for 71 yards and a score last week against the Seahawks, and you can bet he'll be the main target when Dallas gets into the red zone on Sunday. 

Jermichael Finley, Green Bay Packers

Obviously, right?

Finley is a great option in any league, but remember, Aaron Rodgers spreads the ball around so much, it's less likely that you'll get a huge day from Finley. 

He had five catches for 44 yards and a touchdown last week, which are similar numbers to what I expect from him this week against the Vikings. 

Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints

Last but certainly not least. 

Graham's the most dangerous all-around tight end in the game right now. 

He can do it all and is the most targeted tight end in the NFL this season (82 targets).

Graham trails Wes Welker by 10 targets for the league lead.  

Against the Falcons in what could easily become a shootout, expect Drew Brees to find the guy he's become most comfortable throwing to this year.
