Fantasy Football Week 5 Rankings: Kevin Boss and 3 TEs Climbing the Ladder

Keep an eye on the following three tight ends. Their numbers are going to improve as the season goes on. There is a good chance that at least one of these guys is available on your waiver wire, and they will be a valuable addition to your team.

Oakland Raiders TE Kevin Boss

Kevin Boss missed the first two games of the season while dealing with a knee injury. His first action came against the Jets in Week 3. He had just two catches for 36 yards as he was primarily used as a blocker.

Last Sunday against New England, he had four catches for 78 yards. Boss is going to continue to get looks. I expect him to produce at a level very similar to Zach Miller's 2010 season with the Raiders. 

Jason Campbell has always been a QB who likes to look for his tight ends.

Baltimore Ravens TE Ed Dickson

Ed Dickson had big shoes to fill in Baltimore as he was charged with the task of replacing Todd Heap. He has done a solid, if not spectacular, job of that so far.

Dickson has just one touchdown on the season, but you can expect him to pick up some more as the season progresses and he builds his chemistry with Joe Flacco.

Dickson is already Flacco's favorite target. He is tied for the team lead with 16 catches, and leads the Ravens with 32 targets. 

Tennessee Titans TE Jared Cook

Jared Cook's value took a dramatic step up when the Titans loss Kenny Britt for the season due to injury.

Cook has just seven catches on the year, but you can expect those numbers to start increasing. Cook caught two of Matt Hasselbeck's ten completions this past Sunday. He turned those two catches into 93 yards and a touchdown.

Cook will be a solid producer as this season progresses.
