Must Start
1. Jimmy Graham vs. Stl. – Graham is a rising star in the perfect system. He’ll top 100 yards with another score on Sunday.
2. Antonio Gates vs. KC – He’s back and will be needed more than ever in San Diego’s struggling offense.
3. Jason Witten vs. Phi – The Eagles have had all sorts of difficulty defending opposing TE’s in 2011.
4. Rob Gronkowski vs. Pit – He killed the Steelers a year ago. He’ll find the end zone once – maybe twice – this week.
Next
Vernon Davis vs. Cle – The Niners will exploit this mismatch.
Brandon Pettigrew vs. Den – The O-Line’s horrendous pass blocking will lead to more opportunities for Pettigrew this week.
Fred Davis vs. Buf – Placing Chris Cooley on IR just raised Davis’s stock tremendously.
The Rest
Owen Daniels vs. JAX – Expect Schaub to locate Daniels for one TD.
Jermaine Gresham vs. Sea – Andy Dalton’s safety valve has found the end zone recently. He’ll find it again.
Jake Ballard vs. Mia – Manning is starting to love his new TE.
Brent Celek vs. Dal – The Eagles will incorporate Celek into the offense to keep Michael Vick upright.
Greg Olsen vs. Min – Newton continues to look in his TE’s direction.
Aaron Hernandez vs. Pit – Brady will look to his other TE too.
Visanthe Shiancoe vs. Car – Christian Ponder will target Shiancoe especially in the red zone.
Heath Miller vs. NE – Roethlisberger will find his TE against a soft Pats pass D.
Mercedes Lewis vs. Hou – Expect Lewis to be a larger part of the offense vs. the Texans.
Fantasy Sleeper
Shawn Nelson vs. Was – The Skins have been vulnerable against opposing TEs in ’11. Nelson’s a good fantasy sleeper who will reel in a short TD vs. Washington.
