TE Rankings – Week Seven
Vernon Davis comes in as our top ranked tight end a week after destroying the Cardinals for 180 yards and two touchdowns. Davis is averaging 80.6 yards per game and has found the end zone in all but one contest so far this season. Davis will remain Kaep’s top target when he runs routes and should have another huge game against the Titans. Davis may occupy a top three spot on our tight end rankings for the rest of the season.
Sit Julius Thomas? Are you mad? Sure the Colts have not given up a touchdown pass to the tight end position this year but anyone actually looking at the matchups would realize they have not played any good tight ends yet with Vernon Davis missing week threes tilt. Start Julius every week especially in touchdown heavy formats.
You may have drafted Brandon Myers as your TE1 this offseason but averaging only 34.7 yards per game we hope even you deep leaguers have found a better option by now. Myers comes in at number 27 this week and is barely a TE2 option. You can stop waiting for a breakout and just drop Myers if need be, he has talent just no opportunity.
Jermichael Finley will be running more routes this week with Cobb on I.R and Jones nicked up moving Quarless or Bostick to tight end when he splits out wide. Finley has to show some consistency but is a top five talent when he is on his game. Finley should see a healthy dosage of targets this week and if he can haul them in he should have a big game against the Browns. Finley is currently our number six ranked tight end for week seven.
