3. Fred Davis @ Buffalo: Locked in as the number one target now that Santana Moss is on the shelf.
4. Rob Gronkowski @ Pittsburgh: Always a good bet to score, he was back in the mix last game with seven catches.
5. Antonio Gates @ Kansas City: If he can play you have to use him. He’s that good.
6. Aaron Hernandez @ Pittsburgh: In a physical game look for plenty of targets to both Patriot tight ends.
7. Brandon Pettigrew @ Denver: With no clear second receiver and a weak running game, Pettigrew is the best option after Megatron.
8. Vernon Davis vs. Cleveland: Facing Suh & Co. took him out of their last game, but he should return to being a focal point, especially in the red zone.
9. Owen Daniels vs. Jacksonville: Averaging 63.6 yards in his past five games.
10. Jermaine Gresham @ Seattle: Averaging 4.3 catches for 41.3 yards and 0.5 TDs in past four games.
11. Jake Ballard vs. Miami: Averaging 62.0 yards with two touchdowns in past three games.
12. Dallas Clark @ Tennessee: Had six catches for 53 yards and a TD last week.
13. Jared Cook vs. Indianapolis: Averaging 58.0 yards with two TDs in past three games.
14. Visanthe Shiancoe @ Carolina: Averaging four catches for 42 yards over past four games. Ponder gives him a chance.
15. Greg Olsen vs. Minnesota: He’s dealing with turf toe, but the Vikings struggle with tight ends.
