Fantasy Football Week 5 Rankings: Jermaine Gresham and 5 Best TEs

When setting your fantasy football lineups for Week 5 of the NFL season, believe me when I say that these these five tight ends are the best plays for Sunday:

Jermichael Finley, Green Bay Packers

Lost in both of Aaron Rodgers' aerial displays in Atlanta last season was the fact that Finley played in neither, but he'll be there on Sunday to take on the Falcons.

While Finley is never a guarantee to pick up numbers in the Packers diversified passing offense, no tight end in football has the potential to generate the kind of numbers he does.

Rodgers loves throwing Finley's way, and I'm not sure the Falcons have a single defender that can handle him all afternoon.

Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints

The Panthers have been above average in stopping opposing tight ends this season, but that's about the only thing about this matchup that is even a little concerning.

Graham has back-to-back 100-yard outings, and he's the second most targeted tight end in the NFL right now. The receivers have come and go in certain weeks for the Saints, but Drew Brees has been consistently keeping Graham in the offense. With his skill set at the position, can you blame him?

Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots

We knew he couldn't keep up the pace he set through three games. Indeed, Gronkowski caught just one pass for 15 yards against the Raiders.

That was maddening for me, personally, as I finally decided I was going to start him over Graham last week (good problem to have).

Despite the burn, he's still an elite player at the position and one you should feel confident starting. Aaron Hernandez might play against the Jets, but don't let that scare you off, either.

Owen Daniels, Houston Texans

Andre Johnson likely won't play on Sunday, which means someone in the Texans receiving corps must step up.

Bank on Daniels, who has caught touchdowns in each of the last three weeks for Houston and is getting more and more looks before the red zone.

Jermaine Gresham, Cincinnati Bengals

 Surprised to see Gresham's name crack the top five this week? Don't be. For starters, Jason Witten is on a bye, which takes out one of the game's best.

Even so, Gresham deserves this spot. Andy Dalton has connected with him four times in back-to-back weeks, with the latter also resulting in a score.

The Jaguars are also a fantasy dream for tight ends, as they've given up the most receptions and second-most fantasy points to the position.

Start Gresham freely and with confidence unless you have one of the four guys listed above him here.
