11. Visanthe Shiancoe At Tampa Bay Buccaneers

12. Anthony Fasano Vs. Oakland Raiders

It will be interesting to see if Witten's stats come back now that it looks like Romo is back in the starting lineup though not 100%. I expect a decent game from Witt but there are many good matchups for some solid tight ends this week as we have finally finished wading through the bye weeks where the tight end position always seemed the toughest to fill with a quality spot starter during a bye.

The following teams are on bye this week: Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Redskins

1. Antonio Gates Vs. Kansas City Chiefs

2. Kellen Winslow Vs. Denver Broncos

3. Tony Gonzalez At San Diego Chargers

4. Dallas Clark At Pittsburgh Steelers

5. Owen Daniels Vs. Baltimore Ravens

6. Visanthe Shiancoe Vs. Green Bay Packers

7. Anthony Fasano Vs. Seattle Seahawks

8. Kevin Boss At Philadelphia Eagles

9. Bo Scaife At Chicago Bears

10. Jeremy Shockey At Atlanta Falcons

11. LJ Smith Vs. New York Giants

12. John Carlson At Miami Dolphins

Gates should have benefitted from his bye week and should be more healed from his nagging injuries that have slowed him this year. Despite his injuries Gtes has 5 touchdowns this year but very lackluster yardage numbers from what we are used to from him. I also expect good games from Winslow, Gonzo, & Clark but I am notcrazy about the rest of the batch as many have bad matchups and many don't have the starting QB throwing to them this week.

The following teams are on bye this week: Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, San Diego Chargers, San Francisco 49ers

1. Dallas Clark Vs. New England Patriots

2. Owen Daniels At Minnesota Vikings

3. Tony Gonzalez Vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

4. Chris Cooley Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

5. Jason Witten* At New York Giants

6. Greg Olsen Vs. Detroit Lions

7. John Carlson Vs. Philadelphia Eagles

8. Kellen Winslow Vs. Baltimore Ravens

9. Heath Miller At Washington Redskins

10. Bo Scaife Vs. Green Bay Packers

11. Benjamin Watson At Indianapolis Colts

12. Zach Miller Vs. Atlanta Falcons

*Witten might not play due to his broken rib but as you know from the video to the right Witt is pretty tough so I'd watch the injury reports but have a back up ready just in case. Even if Witt were a 100% there's a good chance I would have ranked Dallas Clark in front of him as it seems like Manning is giving Clark a lot of attention as Harrison has not been the staple receiver we were used to from the past. Harrison is capable of a big game but also capable of getting shut out. Clark has 15 catches for 170+ yards and 2 touchdowns and looks in total sync with Manning. He also won't have to worry about hard hitting safety Rodney Harrison when he's venturing over the middle. He's definitely set up for another big game.

The following teams are on bye this week: Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings

1. Jason Witten Vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Definitely a tougher match up but I still rank Witt as #1 as he still is getting plenty of throws and I expect a much better game from Brad Johnson who looked very rusty last week. Witt had 6 receptions and 44 yards but was targeted even more by Johnson who wasn't very accurate in his first start. If you league wieghs TD's much more than yards then Gates woiuld rank higher as Witt only has 2 on the year but if you're looking for receptions and yards and a possible score Witt is the man as he has 45 catches and 541 yards on the year.

2. Antonio Gates At New Orleans Saints -- Gates only has just over 300 yards this season but he does have 4 touchdowns and has a very good chance to score against a weak Saints secondary.

3. Chris Cooley At Detroit Lions -- Cooley has had 2 mediocre games his last 2 but he has 377 yards and 1 score this year and the Lions just made Owen Daniels look like Jason Witten so Cooley should be due for a big game.

4. Tony Gonzalez At New York Jets -- With Croyle out again it looks like Thigpen is back but Gonzo has seemed to perform decently no matter who is back there. Gonzo has 290 yards and 2 touchdowns this year and despite being unhappy in KC he is doing pretty well considering the conditions.

5. Owen Daniels Vs. Cincinnati Bengals -- The Texans passing game is hot right now as Daniels had 2 touchdowns last game (his first 2 of the year) and has brought his yardage total up to 374 yards and the Bengals D should not be able to slow them down much.

6. Dallas Clark At Tennessee Titans -- Clark has had a few hot games since coming back from injury. He has 15 catches and 179 yards his last 3 starts and despite the match up is worth a risk to start at TE.

7. Heath Miller Vs. New York Giants -- Miller has had a quiet season so far (188 yards & 1 TD) but has always been a red zone target for Big Ben and is a decent start.

8. John Carlson At San Francisco 49ers -- Its unknown if Hasselback will return but Carlson has done okay without him as he now has a touchdown in each of his last two games.

Others Worth A Good Look: LJ Smith Vs. Atlanta Falcons, Bo Scaife Vs. Indianapolis Colts, Benjamin Watson vs St. Louis Rams, Todd Heap Vs. Oakland Raiders.

The following teams are on bye this week: Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Jacksonville Jaguars, Philadelphia Eagles

1. Jason Witten At St. Louis Rams -- Despite no Romo I think Witten might actually see more passes thrown to him by the vet Brad Johnson as he will rely on shorter throws than the strong armed Romo will. Witt already has just under 500 yards and 2 scores on the year and is going up against a defense which has given up the most points in the NFL. I'm not sure the effect Roy Williams will have on Witt's numbers but it definitely should be interesting to watch the Cowboys pass receivers fight for fantasy stats.

2. Antonio Gates At Buffalo Bills -- A tougher match up for Gates as the Bills defense is one of the better defenses in the league. Despite it being a down year for Gates (just over 250 yards this season) he has four touchdowns and is always targeted by Rivers in the red zone.

3. Chris Cooley Vs. Cleveland Browns -- The Skins struggled a bit last week but Cooley remains a must start as he is their most consistent receiver. He only has one score on the year but should get some good chances against the poor defense of the Browns.

4. Dallas Clark At Green Bay Packers -- Clark has struggled with injuries and a slow start as he only has 153 yards in 4 games played however now that Manning looked like himself I expect Clark has a big game against the Pack.

6. Tony Gonzalez Vs. Tennessee Titans -- Gonzo is finally asking for a trade but in the meantime has been putting up some decent numbers (193 yards 2 touchdowns) and is a good start despite the tough D he will face if he is not traded away before then. If he is traded to a team with a good offense his value will soar and he will be a top 3 or 4 TE.

7. Heath Miller At Cincinnati Bengals -- Miller has been a disappointment with only 175 yards and only one score but the Bengals are a great team to get going against and provided Big Ben is healthy Miller is still a target he favors especially in the red zone.

8. Owen Daniels Vs. Detroit Lions -- Daniels hasn't found the endzone all year but he has racked up over 200 yards in 5 games and should have another good game against the bad defense of the Lions

9. Anthony Fasano Vs. Baltimore Ravens -- Not a good match up for Fasano but considering all the trick plays I feel Fasano is due for another decent game despite the tough D. Fasano has over 200 yards and 2 scores but does have a tendency to disappear for a game in between his good outings.

10. John Carlson At Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Even with Hasselbeck gone Carlson saw some action and scored a touchdown. I like him again this week even though Hasselbeck will miss another game

Others Worth A Good Look: Greg Olsen Vs. Minnesota Vikings, Zach Miller Vs. New York Jets, Steve Heiden At Washington Redskins, Benjamin Watson Vs. Denver Broncos

The following teams are on bye this week: Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Tennessee Titans.

1. Jason Witten At Arizona Cardinals -- With Gates hampered by injuries Witten has definitely taken over as the best tight end in the NFL and is a must start every week. The Card are also pretty mediocre against the pass which should help Witt continue to average over 88 yards per game (2 total touchdowns on the year).

2. Chris Cooley Vs. St. Louis Rams -- After a very bad week 1 the Skins offense has come on strong and Cooley has been getting a lot of attention from Campbell and has averaged over 70 yards these last 4 games. He got his first touchdown last week but there should be many opportunities for him to score against the bad Rams defense.

3. Antonio Gates Vs. New England Patriots -- Gates only had one catch against Miami and faces a tougher match up in New England however receiver Chris Chambers looks like he will be unable to play meaning Rivers will have to rely on Gates more this week. Gates also has 3 touchdowns in 5 games and remains a must start despite a somewhat slow start to the season.

4. Kellen Winslow II Vs. New York Giants -- Despite the problems the Browns offense problems Winslow has averaged just under 5 catches a game for just over 42 yards per. Winslow also has one touchdown from week 1 and is Derek Anderson's most reliable target so far this year. When the Browns do break out of their slump Winslow should be in store for a great game.

5. Owen Daniels Vs. Miami Dolphins -- Daniels has had some real solid games the last few weeks and been fairly consistent all year. I expect a good game and possibly a touchdown from him against the Fins.

6. Anthony Fasano At Houston Texans -- Besides a no catch game against Arizona Fasano has been very reliable averaging just under 5 catches for 65+ yards his other 3 games. The Fins are red hot right now and Fasano should have a good chance to add to his 2 TD total for the year.

7. Dallas Clark Vs. Baltimore Ravens -- Dallas Clark too advantage of the bye week to get healthy and showed us last week with 5 catches for 81 yards. I expect a similar game against the Ravens who will challenge Manning and might force him to rely on shorter throws and check downs.

8. Benjamin Watson At San Diego Chargers -- Last week was the first week the Chargers did not allow a touchdown to the opposing tight end although Fasano did put up nearly 50 yards and Watson should have a chance for a breakout game. Watson has really struggled without Brady as he really has done nothing yet this year but this should be his best chance. A risky start but a good upside as Watson should get on track sometime this year and when he is is capable of putting up some great fantasy numbers.

9. Greg Olsen At Atlanta Falcons -- The last 2 weeks Olsen has 7 catches 122 yards and a score. The Falcons defense should help Olsen & Orton stay hot.

10. Visanthe Shiancoe Vs. Detroit Lions -- Not my favorite TE but he has a good match up against the hapless Lions and has 2 touchdowns on the year already.

Others Worth A Good Look: Zach Miller At New Orleans Saints, Dustin Keller Vs. Cincinnati Bengals, LJ Smith At San Francisco 49ers

The following teams are on bye this week: New York Jets, Oakland Raiders, St Louis Rams, & Cleveland Browns

1. Jason Witten Vs. Cincinnati Bengals -- Witten has been very consistent as he has over 360 yards already and finally found the end zone for the first time last week. Witten should have another good game against the bad defense of the Bengals.

2. Antonio Gates At Miami Dolphins -- Some injuries have kept Gates in check but he continues to be a prime target for Rivers as he already has 2 scores from Rivers and should have a good day against the Fins.

3. Dallas Clark At Houston Texans -- Clark has been very quiet this year mostly due to injury. I expect a big week from him and Manning as they return from this bye week healthy and working together better.

4. Anthony Fasano Vs. San Diego Chargers -- Its been tough topredict Fasano as he had a good week 1, no catches at all in week 2, and another goog game week 3 before the bye. The Chargers however have been terrible against TE's this year giving up a touchdown to each team faced (Rosario, Scheffler, Keller, & Miller) so Fasano should have a good opportunity for another score.

5. Chris Cooley At Philadelphia Eagles -- Cooley has been very quiet to start the year but is due for a better game and hopefully a touchdown if you are a Cooley owner.

6. Tony Gonzalez At Carolina Panthers -- Gonzo's stat lines are definitely hurting this year as the Chiefs have a revolving door around the QB position right now however he does have 2 scores and continues to be a prime target in the passing game.

7. Tony Scheffler Vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Scheffler only has 58 yards his last 2 games but based on how many times Cutler targets him in a game its tough to bench him even with the tough Bucs D against him.

8. Owen Daniels Vs. Indianapolis Colts -- Daniels is quietly averaging 60+ yards per game and I see the Texans playing from behind and throwing a lot vs the Colts.

9. John Carlson At New York Giants -- Carlson has averaged over 50 yards per game but watch to see if Engram or any other notable receivers return as the more healthy targets Hasselbeck has Sunday will mean it will be tougher for Carlson to have a good fantasy day.

(Note this is a very tough week for fantasy TE's and I would not start any of the TE's listed below unless I was forced to as none of them have been very impressive this year at all).

Others Worth A Good Look: Heath Miller At Jacksonville Jaguars, Visanthe Shiancoe At New Orleans Saints, Benjamin Watson at San Francisco 49ers, Greg Olson At Detroit Lions.

The following teams have a bye week 4: Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, N.Y. Giants, Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots

1. Jason Witten Vs. Washington Redskins --Witt has yet to find the end zone but he continues to gets tons of catches and yards making him pretty productive depending on your league's scoring system. The Skins are without their best pass rusher Jason Taylor so Romo should have plenty of time to find Witten open in the end zone this week at least once.

2. Antonio Gates At Oakland Raiders -- Rivers has really stepped up his game as LT has been hobbled by injury. Gates also has not been playing at 100% but its hard to tell as he has over 150 yards nd 2 touchdowns so far this season.

3. Kellen Winslow II At Cincinnati Bengals -- If Anderson wants to keep his job he will need to rely on KWII heavily as Edwards has been dropping everything this year. In 2 meetings last year this "soldier" had 13 catches, 176 yards and a touchdown so I expect another successful sortie for KWII

4. Tony Scheffler At Kansas City Chiefs-- Despite a lackluster performance last week Cutler and the Broncos are now a scoring machine and Scheffler has become a must start tight end as he has accrued 168 yards and 2 toudhdowns in just 3 games.

5. Chris Cooley At Dallas Cowboys -- Take away his week 1 stat line and Cooley is having a great year. Campbell should continue to rely on Cooley regularly and the Skins will most likely be playing from behind and forced to throw.

6. Tony Gonzalez Vs. Denver Broncos -- Despite losing 2 starting QB's Gonzalez has performed decently well and should be a solid start as Tyler Thigpen will have to air it out to keep up with Cutler and crew.

7. Heath Miller Vs. Baltimore Ravens -- Miller is a favorite target of Big Ben's in the red zone but he has been pretty quiet so far this year. A hand injury to Big Ben worries me but Miller is a good start if Ben is close to 100%.

8. Dustin Keller Vs. Arizona Cardinals -- Favre & Keller hooked up 4 times for 41 yards and a touchdown last week after doing virtually nothing weeks 1 and 2. I think this game is a shoot out and like Keller this game as he hopes to become Favre's new "Bubba Franks" (who ironically is also on the Jets now but not seeing much action).

9. Vernon Davis At New Orleans Saints -- Davis again has been a big fantasy dissappointment this year (4 catches 68 yards). This is probably one of the best match ups he'll get all year. A risky start none the less.

10. Billy Miller Vs. San Francisco 49ers -- With Shockey out 3-6 weeks with a sports hernia and Colston still out Brees will be spreading the ball around as much as possible. Another risky start but I like Miller's chances against the Niners. Miller did have 300+ yards & 2 touchdowns with Brees last season before Shockey arrived so its possible he has a pretty good game.

11. LJ Smith At Chicago Bears -- LJ has an injured back and might not play, but if his condition improves he is worth a start as he is a favorite target for McNabb in the red zone & the Bears corners might shut down the Eagles receivers.

12. Owen Daniels At Jacksonville Jaquars -- Daniels has over 100 yards in just 2 games (Texans had their bye week 2 due to hurricane Ike) and should continue on that pace as Schaub and the Texans try to get their offense into gear.

1. Jason Witten -- Dallas Cowboys At Green Bay Packers -- Witten has yet to find the end zone but has a ton of catches and yards thus far and its only a matter of time with this offense for Witten to score.

2. Antonio Gates -- San Diego Chargers Vs. New York Jets -- Even with injuries nagging him Gates is still the most reliable receiver for Rivers.

3. Kellen Winslow -- Cleveland Browns At Baltimore Ravens -- The more passes Braylon Edwards drops the more Anderson seems to rely on Winslow. The Browns are due for a big game so Winslow may have a huge week.

4. Tony Scheffler -- Denver Broncos Vs. New Orleans Saints -- Scheffler proved me wrong in my thinking that week 1 was a fluke. Its hard to see the Broncos continue to be such an offensive juggernaught but Scheffler is definitely becoming a force to reckon with now.

5. Chris Cooley -- Washington Redskins Vs. Arizona Cardinals -- Cooley got back to old form in week 2 against the Saints and should have a similar performance against the Cards.

6. Tony Gonzalez -- Kansas City Chiefs At Atlanta Falcons -- Gonzalez and Thigpen have already hooked up for a touchdown so despite the QB troubles in KC Gaonzalez seems not to worry.

7. John Carlson -- Seattle Seahawks Vs. St. Louis Rams -- This Rams D is porous and Hasselbeck has no one else to throw the ball to anymore.

8. Anthony Fasano -- Miami Dolphins At New England -- After stunning us week 1 he disappeared week 2. I expect him to bounce back into the picture as Pennington will stick with safer throws against the ball hawkish Patriots.

9. Jeremy Shockey -- New Orleans Saints At Denver Broncos -- Shockey continues to play like crap despite perfect conditions for him to break out. If he's the best you've got start him and hope he wakes up and plays to his abilities.

10. Heath Miller -- Pittsburgh Steelers At Philadelphia Eagles -- Miller has been very quiet in the first 2 weeks but he's due for a TD grab if he is going to match last year's numbers (7 TD's)

11. LJ Smith -- Philadelphia Eagles Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers -- McNabb will have a tougher time hitting his dimwitted receivers and will check down to Westbrook and Smith more than normal.

12. Todd Heap -- Baltimore Ravens Vs. Cleveland Browns -- If Heap is healthy for the first time in what seems like 3 years. this is a great team to break out against. I'd only risk starting him if you don't own any of the above 11.

1. Jeremy Shockey At Washington Redskins -- Shockey had a quiet but solid debut with his new team however with Colston now out for 6 weeks Shockey will get plenty of opportunities in Washington this week.

2. Jason Witten Vs. Philadelphia Eagles -- Witten has done some damage to the Eagles in the past (see the vid to the right below) and should have another good game and see the endzone for the first time this season.

3. Antonio Gates At Denver Broncos -- Slowed by a hip injury but still a prime target for Rivers.

4. Kellen Winslow Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers -- Winslow and Anderson seem to be in sync and should put some decent numbers up.

5. Tony Gonzalez Vs. Oakland Raiders -- As Tony Scheffler showed us a tight end can easily get 100 yards and a score (if he doesn't drop the ball in the endzone) against the Raiders.

6. Chris Cooley Vs. New Orleans Saints -- The Skins passing attack looked terrible last week but Cooley is too good not bounce back as long as he gets the ball thrown his way.

7. John Carlson Vs. San Francisco 49ers -- Besides Burleson Hasselbeck has virtually no one else to throw the ball to as his receiver corp has been decimated by injuries. There is even talk of QB Seneca Wallace playing some wide out Sunday.

8. Dallas Clark At Minnesota Vikings -- Clark is nursing a minor knee injury but he should rebound like his teammates against this pass defense.

9. Heath Miller At Cleveland Browns -- A quiet start but Big Ben should throw to him plenty in Cleveland

10. Anthony Fasano At Arizona Cardinals -- Fasano looks like he is going to have a great year if Pennington stays healthy.

11. LJ Smith At Dallas Cowboys -- Smith won't be breaking 100 yards but he is a fave red zone target of McNabb's

12. Todd Heap At Houston Texans -- Heap only had one catch for five yards but also fumbled and dropped a touchdown pass. If Heap can get it together, he is 100% healthy (finally) and Flacco would rely on him heavily.

1. Jason Witten At Cleveland Browns -- The Browns secondary is even weaker this year as they have traded away cover corner Leigh Bodden. They can only hope their own offense can keep up this year. Witten should accrue a ton of catches.

2. Antonio Gates Vs. Carolina Panthers -- A toe injury hampers him but he's still a force if he can play. (Probable to play)

3. Dallas Clark Vs. Chicago Bears -- I expect Manning to go the the reliable tight end early and often as he tries to get his regular season rythym started.

4. Kellen Winslow Vs. Dallas Cowboys -- Potential to become a big time TE but not very consistant.

5. Heath Miller Vs. Houston Texans -- Good chance Miller gets some attention from Big Ben and maybe even scores a TD.

6. Chris Cooley At New York Giants -- Cooley will continue this year to be Campbell's safety net.

7. Jeremy Shockey Vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- A big dissappointment in the big apple, a big new chance in the big easy. With Brees throwing the ball and the Saints high octane offensive system Shockey has no excuse to fail.

8. Tony Gonzalez At New England Patriots -- The same problem Bowe runs into, a reliable quarterback to throw to him.

9. Todd Heap Vs. Cincinnati Bengals -- If Heap is healthy he has a history of performing against the Bengals. Joe Flacco may rely on him heavily oas well in his first NFL start, if he is healthy...

10. Vernon Davis Vs. Arizona Cardinals -- A ton of talent perhaps a new QB (JT O'Sullivan) might make something happen.

11. Owen Daniels At Pittsburgh Steelers -- Became a consistant TE last season.

12. Dustin Keller At Miami Dolphins -- With Favre in town Keller could shine.

Tight end is a position you love if you are the proud owner of an Antonio Gates or a Jason Witten, but also a position you can love to hate if you don't have a solid tight end starting. Similar to my strategy with picking up receivers, rather than overpaying for the best I look for value at tight end (Shockey in New Orleans?) and try to build a deeper bench in order to play the match ups. I also am quick to pull the trigger on the free agents when a new tight end shows up out of nowhere scoring some fantasy points provided I can get them cheaply.
