Early 2010 TE rankings

It’s never too early to look at next year. Here’s a look at early 2010 fantasy football tight end rankings.

1. Dallas Clark, Indianapolis Colts
Clark’s speed, size, and route-running make him a complete mismatch every game.

2. Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers
He keeps putting up monster numbers year in and year out.

3. Vernon Davis, San Francisco 49ers
Finally reached his potential.

4. Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys
He’ll need to get in the end zone more to remain a top TE.

5. Brent Celek, Philadelphia Eagles

You knew he was good, but showed his toughness playing through a thumb injury.

6. Jermichael Finley, Green Bay Packers
Speed and size make him tough to handle.

7. Tony Gonzalez, Atlanta Falcons
Not the Gonzo of old, but still pretty darn good.

8. Owen Daniels, Houston Texans
Assuming he’s recovered from his knee injury, Daniels should have another fine season. He was leading all TEs in fantasy points before the injury.

9. Visanthe Shiancoe, Minnesota Vikings
He’s a tough cover in the red zone with their assortment of weapons.

10. Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers
Maybe the most complete tight end in the league.

11. Kellen Winslow, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Rebounded nicely in Tampa.

12. Greg Olsen, Chicago Bears
Still one of the Bears' best options on offense. Look for more in 2010.

13. John Carlson, Seattle Seahawks
Another fine season for Carlson.

14. Zach Miller, Oakland Raiders

Assuming the JaMarcus Russell fiasco has ended, Miller is a nice option going forward.

15. Dustin Keller, New York Jets

Keller really gelled with Sanchez during the playoffs.
