2011-12 NFL Playoffs Divisional Round Fantasy TE Rankings

Here are the Lester’s Legends tight end rankings for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs.

1.  Rob Gronkowski vs. Denver Broncos:  Just got finished having the best season a tight end has ever had in NFL history.

2.  Jimmy Graham @ San Francisco 49ers:  Graham is darn close to Gronk, and that is saying a ton. He almost always leads the Saints in targets. When Brees is looking for you that frequently, particularly in the red zone, you’re a great bet.

3.  Aaron Hernandez vs.  Denver Broncos:  Picked apart Denver for nine catches for 129 yards and a score last time. With as much attention as Gronk and Welker get, Hernandez could be the poison that Denver picks.

4. Vernon Davis vs. New Orleans Saints:  Averaged 81.3 yards in his past three games. The Niners are going to have to air it out more than usual against the Saints.

5.   Jermichael Finley @ New York Giants:  His speed and size make him a tough cover.

6.  Jake Ballard vs. Green Bay Packers:  He didn’t do much against the Falcons (two catches, 16 yards), but he’s healthy. He had three catches for 47 yards in the first meeting with Green Bay.

7.  Ed Dickson vs. Houston:  Just a hunch, but Dennis Pitta was the guy in Week 17 so it’s Dickson’s turn.

8.  Joel Dreessen @ Baltimore:  With Owen Daniels suffering a broken hand last week I would roll with Dreessen given the choice between the Texans’ TEs. I don’t really like either, as Joel didn’t catch a pass last week.

9.  Daniel Fells @ New England:  Had 57 yards last week, but he is not a huge part of the game plan other than blocking.

10.  Owen Daniels @ Baltimore:  He’s going to try to play through the broken hand, but that concerns me too much to even consider using Daniels.
