Fantasy Football 2011: Tight End Rating


The latest installment in the job classification with tight ends with great quality and depth. Again, these links do not plan to PPR, where players have 6 points for TD and 1 point for every 10 meters.

Before the presentation, some notes:

Even if Jeremy Shockey is the starter, Greg Olsen seems to Carolina narrower than desired, and although I do not think it's a fantastic start, there is a good option reserve

The situation in Washington is to look like Fred Davis has received a lot of work with the first team. Cooley is the veteran, but being aware of it if you plan to Cooley on the basis of points last year. For now, I split the baby between the two, so only two leagues in depth draftable;

Ben Watson had a career year in Cleveland at the age of 30 years, but they lacked many others opportunities. Evan Moore looks really good this preseason and is more of a receiver that the Browns to move or divide by large, putting Watson in addition to blocking situations. Again, I'm not sure Moore is immediately draftable except in deep leagues, but certainly someone to watch and a reason to downgrade Watson for what he did last year;

For years I felt bad, Zack Miller, because I thought it was better than his numbers game in Oakland. I do not feel sorry for him anymore because he decided to go to Seattle to travel Tarvaris Jackson, and some situation even more confusing, and Sidney Rice, Mike Williams, already exists;
