Week 10 Fantasy Football Rankings: Tony Gonzalez and TEs Sure to Shine

Tony Gonzalez is a lock to produce big numbers Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

The 35-year-old Gonzalez is producing this season like he always does, and when he faces the mismatches he’ll create against the New Orleans Saints, the old vet will have another big-time performance.

Whether it’s being matched up with Scott Shanle or a defensive back, Gonzalez will get the ball into the end zone against the Saints.

But Gonzalez isn’t the only tight end poised to shine Sunday. These are the tight ends that will give fantasy owners the edge they need to ensure another victory for their team:

5.  Rob Gronkowski

The New York Jets/ New England Patriots game is always one of my favorites to watch, simply because both coaches want to win so badly.

And don’t think for a second Tom Brady doesn’t think about this game for motivation for preseason workouts. Expect Brady to be on and to be hitting all of his favorite targets.

Lucky for fantasy owners who own Rob Gronkowski, Brady will be looking for him in the red zone.

4.  Jason Witten

The Buffalo Bills are subject to giving up a lot of passing yards, and this puts a smile on every fantasy owner who owns Jason Witten.

For years, Witten has been regarded as one of the best tight ends in the league and a favorable target for Tony Romo.

Witten will produce huge numbers once again this week when they face a relatively weak passing defense.

3.  Jermichael Finley

Speaking of bad passing defenses, the Minnesota Vikings have one of the worst pass defenses in the league, and that’s not a good thing when Aaron Rodgers and the boys from Green Bay come to town.

Not to mention, the last game was too close for comfort, so I believe the Green Bay Packers will try to blow it wide open from the get-go.

Because of this, look for Finley to get his fair share of catches in this game, and he might break a few.

2. Tony Gonzalez

I already told you he was going to produce big numbers because of the mismatches he’ll present against the Saints’ D, but it’s time to predict his numbers for this weekend.

Besides a valiant effort against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, the Saints’ defense have looked soft at times, and I expect Michael Turner and Matt Ryan to get the ball deep into Saints’ territory often.

Once the Atlanta Falcons are in the red zone, look for Ryan to call Gonzalez’s number, and Gonzalez to find the end zone on two occasions.

1. Jimmy Graham

The Saints-Falcons game is a big one for many reasons, but one of the best matchups to look out for is the greatest tight end in NFL history, Gonzalez, going up against the prodigy and the future, Jimmy Graham.

Graham has produced more yards than any other tight end in the league this year, and he’ll continue to do so because of his athleticism.

His size, speed and athleticism make him almost impossible to cover, and I have yet to find a team to be able to cover him. The Falcons won’t be the first team to do so.
