Here are the Lester’s Legends tight end rankings for the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

1. Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots

Rob Gronkowski averaged 74.9 yards and 0.8 touchdowns per game. Gronk should be a difference-maker against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens allowed 248.7 passing yards per game in the regular season.

2. Julius Thomas, Denver Broncos

Julius Thomas averaged 37.6 yards and 0.9 touchdowns despite an ankle injury that derailed a monster season. Thomas has not scored a touchdown since Nov. 9. He had 104 yards and three touchdowns in the first meeting with the Indianapolis Colts.

3. Greg Olsen, Carolina Panthers

Greg Olsen averaged 63 yards and 0.4 touchdowns per game during the regular season. He had 37 yards in the playoff win over the Arizona Cardinals. Olsen has a tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

4. Coby Fleener, Indianapolis Colts

Coby Fleener averaged 48.4 yards and 0.5 touchdowns per game but finished the year averaging 61.4 yards and 0.8 touchdowns in the final five games of the regular season. He was quiet in the playoff win over the Cincinnati Bengals but should return to form against the Denver Broncos.

5. Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys

Jason Witten averaged 43.9 yards and 0.3 touchdowns per game but averaged 69.3 yards in the final three games of the year. He stayed hot with 63 yards in the playoff win against the Detroit Lions. Witten faces the Green Bay Packers. The Pack allowed 1.6 passing touchdowns per game.

8. Luke Willson, Seattle Seahawks

Luke Willson averaged 24.1 yards and 0.2 touchdowns per game. He has a tough draw against the Carolina Panthers.
