Here are my top 25 tight ends for Week 5 (points-per-reception leagues).

This countdown identifies the weekend's best bets for catches, total yards, touchdowns and receiving targets—a stat that must always factor into lineup strategies with receivers, tight ends and running backs.

Quick Hitters

1. Only four tight ends (Gonzalez, Graham, Jason Witten, Brandon Pettigrew) boast two games of double-digit targets.

2. For what it's worth, Oakland's Brandon Myers has caught 16-of-17 balls thrown to him this season—a remarkably high ratio for any NFL playmaker. In deeper leagues, Myers (228 receiving yards) would be an ideal pickup during his bye week.

3. Kyle Rudolph (15 catches, 146 yards) has done a good job siphoning scoring opportunities from running back Adrian Peterson. Each of Rudolph's three touchdowns have occurred from six yards or less.
