Updated Tight End Rankings (8/31/09)

Starters

Witten/6 -- No T.O. means more TDs for Witten. Three popcorn vendors have already been let go. The loss of T.O. hurts away from the field too.
Gates/5 -- Healthy and an improved run game can only help. May even finsh number 1.
Gonzalez/4 -- Tough pick here because of his new situation, but its hard to ignore talent.
Dallas Clark/6 -- Has an injury history but the Colts' easier schedule will help improve his numbers.
Olsen/5 -- Should be an absolute stud this year.
Cooley/8 -- Don't like the Redskin offense, but Cooley will have a bounce back year.
Daniels/10 -- Consistently puts up good, not great, numbers.
Winslow/8 -- Don't really like the Bucs this year, but he should be ok.

Backups

Zach Miller/9 -- I'd really try to stay away from all the Raiders this year.
Keller/9 -- Rookie QB and weak WRs makes Keller look really good.
Shockey/5 -- You're taking a risk with this pick, but it may just pay off.
H. Miller/8 -- Solid, but not spectacular.
V Davis/6 -- So much wasted talent.
Shiancoe/9 -- Stats will be hurt the this season's additions.
Carlson/7 -- Not really sure where all the love is coming from.
Fasano/6 -- Not believe all the Wildcat hype.
Scheffler/7 -- Not a big fan, but he does give some upside if things go right.
Celek/4 -- Eagles will have a great offense this year.
Finley/5 -- Will be a a fantasy factor.
McMichael/9 -- Stay away from the Rams.
