1.
Tony Gonzalez, ATL - 10
TDs in ’08 was 2nd highest of career in 12th year.
2. Jason Witten, DAL - Losing T.O. should
benefit Witten more than anyone.
3. Dallas Clark, IND - No Harrison means ’08 Recs (77)
& yards
(848) will be higher.
4. Antonio Gates, SD - Toe, hip and ankle
injuries last
yr cause slippage.
5. Chris Cooley, WAS - Still Campbell’s fav target on team
with no
WR.
6. Greg Olsen, CHI - No one was more excited
about addition of Jay
Cutler.
7. John Carlson, SEA - Great sleeper
potential here, Hasselback loves TE.
8. Owen Daniels, HOU - 70 Recs, 800+ yards in
’08 and is essentially #2
WR.
9. Zach Miller, OAK - Could be Raiders #1 WR.
Progressed nicely last
year.
10. Kellen Winslow, TB - Can infect Bucs' O
with production or dissent.
11. Visanthe Shiancoe, MIN - A productive 42
catches and 7 touchdowns
last season.
12. Brent
Celek, PHI - Does
the upgrade to WR corps help or hurt? Is he for real?
13. Kevin Boss, NYG - With Plax gone, is #1
Redzone option for Eli.
14. Bo Scaife, TEN - 58 Recs and 561 yards
were career highs, nice
backup.
15. Heath Miller, PIT - Quietly set career
high in Recs last year (48).
16. Dustin Keller, NYJ - Was Favre’s favorite
target, but that doesn’t
matter now.
17. Tony Scheffler, DEN - Injuries and no Jay
Cutler spell trouble.
18. Anthony Fasano, MIA - Was surprisingly a
top 5 TE for ½ of ’08.
19. Donald Lee, GB - A lot of talent at WR
hurts him, had 5 TDs in 08
20. Vernon Davis, SF - A full year of
Singletary will
make a difference.
21. Martellus Bennett, DAL - Will allegedly
use more two TE sets to max
his talent.
22. Randy McMichael, STL - Expect a return to
’07 numbers. Is
essentially the #2 WR.
23. Jeremy Shockey, NO - No Tuds but lots of
excuses (and talent).
24. Desmond Clark, CHI - Quiet produces yr
after yr. 3 years of 40+
catches.
25. Brandon Pettigrew, DET - Should provide a
nice #2 option and safety
valve.
26. David Martin, MIA - Had a career yr in
’08, solid to start but
fizzled at end.
27. Marcedes Lewis, JAC - Coming off career
highs in recs, yards and TD.
28. Chris Baker, NE- Multiple
connections with Brady in preseason show he is still relevant.
29. Ben Watson, NE - A year removed for 6
TD season.
Has to perform or will be benched.
30. LJ Smith, BAL - The fact BAL wanted him
shows they have little faith
in Heap.
31. Todd Heap, BAL - Wasn’t injured as much
last yr but LJ Smith eats
into production.
32. Daniel Graham, DEN - All he catches are
TD inside the Redone. 4 in
’08.
34. Jerramy Stevens, TB - In only 11 games,
had 2nd highest yardage
total of career.
35. Robert Royal, CLE - Career highs in yards
and recs in 2008.
36. Martin Rucker, CLE - Put up great numbers
at U of Mizzou. Could
start.
37. Leonard Pope, ARI - When the #3 WR has
1,000+, TE is essentially
cancelled out.
38. Jermichael Finley, GB - Limited duty last
year but showed flashes.
39. Brad Cottam, KC - Has the inside track on
taking vacant starting
job.
40. Jared Cook, TEN - Rookie TE picked a team
that loves to use multiple
TE’s.
