Tight end, it's deep this year! One word of advice if you pass on Jimmy Graham or Rob Gronkowski, just wait until the later rounds and draft a performer with history and upside. Or go for some complete fantasy football sleepers like Kyle Rudolph or Kellen Davis (read this) even later.
| TE Rank | Player Name | Team | Tight End Notes |
| 1 | Jimmy Graham | NO | His touchdown total will shock you, I'm not drafting last years number 1, as my number 1 tight end. |
| 2 | Rob Gronkowski | NE | Brandon Lloyd will eat into his production a little, bank on it. You could rank him as a #1B |
| 3 | Antonio Gates | SD | Not again, not after burning me in 2010 and 2011, no way. |
| 4 | Jermichael Finley | GB | |
| 5 | Vernon Davis | SF | All those additions to WR will only open things up more for Davis, this will be his break out year. |
| 6 | Jason Witten | DAL | |
| 7 | Aaron Hernandez | NE | Brandon hurts his value a touch, only so many passes to go around per game. |
| 8 | Fred Davis | WAS | Rookie QB's best friend is the tight end. |
| 9 | Brandon Pettigrew | DET | He'll hit pay dirt 7 to 9 times this year, watch and see. |
| 10 | Jacob Tamme | DEN | |
| 11 | Brent Celek | PHI | 97 targets last year, I'd day he was unlucky not to come down with 80 of them. Possible big year for him as defenses key on McCoy in the Red Zone. |
| 12 | Tony Gonzalez | ATL | New OC in ATL hasn't featured the TE position in the past, make me drop him a touch. |
| 13 | Jermaine Gresham | CIN | |
| 14 | Greg Olsen | CAR | |
| 15 | Owen Daniels | HOU | |
| 16 | Jared Cook | TEN | 81 targets last year, and the O-LINE upgrades should allow him to roam a bit more. |
| 17 | Coby Fleener | IND | |
| 18 | Dustin Keller | NYJ | |
| 19 | Kyle Rudolph | MIN | Possible poor mans Gronkowski, has the potential to be a lower top 10 tight end now that he's one year removed from injury and reportedly running a step faster. |
| 20 | Kellen Davis | CHI | Lots of upside, but a huge risk with huge reward. |
| 21 | Dallas Clark | TB | |
| 22 | Ed Dickson | BAL | The time share at TE hurts his upside and draft value.. |
| 23 | Dennis Pitta | BAL | |
| 24 | Heath Miller | PIT | |
| 25 | Kevin Boss | KC | |
| 26 | Zach Miller | SEA | |
| 27 | Tony Moeaki | KC | |
| 28 | Kellen Winslow | SEA | He's broke down bad, if I felt he could last a full 16 without being limited by injury I'd have him ranked higher. |
| 29 | Zach Miller | JAC | |
| 30 | Marcedes Lewis | JAC | |
| 31 | Lance Kendricks | STL | |
| 32 | Martellus Bennett | NYG | Hamstring issues already, reported to camp at 291 pounds.. lost hope. |
