Week 16 TE Fantasy Football Rankings

December 18, 2012 by Greg Brosh

Like I always say, if you're reading the Week 16 TE Fantasy Football Rankings, then you're rolling into your championship. As usual, with most of my tight end articles, I want to use this forum to talk about a  fantasy football player who no longer has TE1 appeal, even though I had ranked him as such many times in the past.

Vernon Davis No Longer Has Any Upside

It used to be that if you wanted to lock up a TE1 early, grabbing Davis was almost just as good as locking up a wide receiver. I remember in 2009, I was in a league where you could flex a tight end. So I went away from the norm and took Davis and Dallas Clark in back-to-back picks. Yeah it was unconventional, but when you have a tight end who can put up 100 and a score, ala Tony Gonzalez, nabbing Davis earlier than usual was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, changes to the 49ers have caused Davis' value to sink.....fast. Maybe Alex Smith wasn't the best quarterback. But with him under center, you knew Davis would go off any week. Most of us had thought the same thing with Colin Kaepernick getting his first start. Against the Bears in Week 11, Davis caught 6 passes for 83 yards and a score. Not only that, but Davis was seen bowing down to Kaepernick like he was the second coming of Joe Montana. Davis is still on his knees, but he's begging for mercy from the NFL Gods to get him back on track. And so are his owners. Since that Week 11 outing, Davis has caught 4 passes for 29 yards and no scores. All that in 4 games. For the past few weeks, I had ranked Davis as either a low-end TE1, or a high-end TE2, with the upside that he would go off. No more. San Francisco scored 41 points against the Patriots Sunday night, but Davis only caught 1 ball. That's the nail on his fantasy coffin. If you have Davis, you better look for other options. He barely made it in my rankings this week.

Lets take a look at the Week 16 TE Fantasy Football Rankings. Like every week, make sure to check out the rest of our rankings in our RANKINGS SECTION (Including IDP).

Also, make sure to check the rankings again between now and Friday to see if anyone has moved up or down due to latest news and injuries.
