2011 NFL Fantasy Football Week 9: Tight Ends (TE) Rankings / Projections

Owen Daniels vs Browns -

The Texans top tight end remains a worthy starter at his position for fantasy leagues, but Daniels is clearly losing targets to fellow tight end Joel Dreessen, who had another touchdown this week, giving him three in the Texans past four games. While Dreessen will get looks in the red zone, Daniels is the top target in this offense, until Andre Johnson comes back from his hamstring injury.

Fred Davis vs 49ers -

The Redskins started the season out playing well, but have steadily regressed to now being one of the worst offenses in football. While Washington continues to struggle, tight end Fred Davis isn’t one of the problems, as he’s played like a weekly starter for fantasy leagues. Davis played through the entirety of the team's Week 8 matchup against the Bills, but was seen wearing a protective boot on Monday.

Monitor Davis’s progress through the week, but if he’s practicing by Friday, and will play, he’s worth a shot.
