NFL Fantasy Football TE Rankings: Antonio Gates Headlines Week 9 Rankings

Ryan LesterNov 3, 2010

Here’s my Week 9 tight end rankings. Keep in mind that the Broncos, Jaguars, Niners, Rams, Redskins and Titans are on bye.

1. Antonio Gates @ Houtson

2. Jason Witten @ Green Bay

3. Tony Gonzalez vs. Tampa Bay

4. Dustin Keller @ Detroit

5. Brent Celek vs. Indianapolis

6. Aaron Hernandez @ Cleveland

7. Kellen Winslow @ Atlanta

8. Visanthe Shiancoe vs. Arizona

9. Owen Daniels vs. San Diego

10. Tony Moeaki @ Oakland

11. Greg Olsen @ Buffalo

12. Jacob Tamme @ Philadelphia

13. John Carlson vs. New York Giants

14. Brandon Pettigrew vs. New York Jets

15. Heath Miller @ Cincinnati

Inside the numbers:

Gates has nine TDs in eight games. He’s averaging 82.9 yards per game. Nobody is even close to him.
Jason Witten has 19 catches and two TDs in the past two games. Jon Kitna has restored his fantasy value.
With a bye week looming, the Raiders may opt to rest Zach Miller (foot).
With Randy Moss gone, the Vikings will likely rely on Visanthe Shiancoe more.
It sure looks like Jacob Tamme does a good Dallas Clark impression.
