Fantasy Football Projections Week 8: Rob Gronkowski and TEs Sure to Impress

Nicholas GossOct 30, 2011

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski spent some of the bye week with adult film star BiBi Jones, and against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday he will have a very good game for your fantasy football team.

Gronkowski is one of many tight ends sure to have a great day today, including Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, San Diego Chargers star Antonio Gates and the Gronkowski's teammate Aaron Hernandez.

Let's look at three tight ends who will have a great day in fantasy football leagues ever.

1) Jason Witten

Jason Witten will be targeted a lot by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo today as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a critical NFC East matchup.

Witten is Romo's most reliable receiving player, and is the best red zone target on the team. Their personal friendship also helps Witten get a lot of throws his way.

He has 449 yards receiving and three touchdowns this season, and in his career has seven touchdowns against the Eagles.

Witten will have another great game in fantasy football on Sunday, his stats are better than most wide receivers.

2) Owen Daniels

Without top wide receiver Andre Johnson who is still battling an injury, Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub will target his talented tight end Owen Daniels a lot on Sunday versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Daniels had four catches for 71 yards last week in the team's 41-7 win over the Tennessee Titans, and against another poor defense in Jacksonville he will once again be effective.

Look for Daniels to have similar yardage this week and a touchdown catch against the Jaguars.

3) Rob Gronkowski

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is a touchdown machine, and after catching 10 of them last season as a rookie he has not slowed down a bit this season.

Against the top-ranked Pittsburgh Steelers pass defense, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will look for Gronkowski often because he is a reliable and big target in the middle of the field.

He is also the best red-zone target New England has.

Expect Gronkowski to have a massive day today, and don't be afraid to start his tight end teammate Aaron Hernandez as well.
