Week 8 TE Rankings – player profiles and stat projections will be updated throughout the week
Week 8 — QB Rankings — RB Rankings — WR Rankings — TE Rankings — D Rankings — Waiver Pickups — Matchup Picks — Player Injury Updates
1. Jimmy Graham – NO = @StL —– The young and athletic Graham is clearly the #1 fantasy football TE this season, and with a guy named Drew Brees throwing him the ball, there is no reason to believe that Graham will not finish as the #1 scoring TE in fantasy football this year.
2. Antonio Gates – SD = @KC —– Gates toughed it out last week and still showed that he has the ability to tally receptions, yards and touchdowns on any given Sunday. A matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs this week, offers solid potential for a TD in this game.
3. Vernon Davis – SF = Cle
4. Rob Gronkowski – NE = @Pit
5. Jason Witten – Dal = @Phi
6. Brandon Pettigrew – Det = @Den
7. Owen Daniels – Hou = Jac
8. Fred Davis – Was = @Buf — 67% —– With Santana Moss breaking his hand and out for at least a month, Davis should be one of the Redskins passing targets to gain the most. 5 receptions for 75 receiving yards seems like a safe bet, and a touchdown is definitely within reach as well.
9. Jermaine Gresham – Cin = @Sea — 43% —– Excellent matchup for the Bengals passing attack this week, and Gresham should see plenty of targets as Andy Dalton’s safety blanket. Add in his red zone presence, and Gresham is a solid gamble to tally a TD in this game as well.
10. Aaron Hernandez – NE = @Pit
11. Greg Olsen – Car = Min
12. Dallas Clark – Ind = @Ten
13. Jared Cook – Ten = Ind
14. Ed Dickson – Bal = Ari
15. Visanthe Shiancoe – Min = @Car — 19% —– With rookie Christian Ponder at QB, Shiancoe could easily become Ponder’s favorite short yardage option in the passing game.
16. Jake Ballard – NYG = Mia — 12% —– A no-name TE entering the 2011 fantasy football season, Ballard has taken over as Eli Manning’s favorite dump off option, as well as a solid red zone TD option.
17. Daniel Fells – Den = Det — 1% —– Fells was clearly Tim Tebow’s favorite target in last weeks game. So if you are in need of a spot starting TE this week, Fells is one higher flyer option who at just 1% owned is worth picking up and chancing in deep leagues this week.
18. Scott Chandler – Buf = Was
19. Brent Celek – Phi = Dal
20. Heath Miller – Pit = NE
21. Benjamin Watson – Cle = @SF
22. Marcedes Lewis – Jac = @Hou

24. Zach Miller – Sea = Cin
25. Todd Heap – Ari = @Bal
26. Lance Kendricks – StL = NO
27. Dennis Pitta – Bal = Ari
28. Evan Moore – Cle = @SF
29. Jeremy Shockey – Car = Min
30. Jeff King – Ari = @Bal
31. James Casey – Hou = Jac
