Welcome to the week six tight end rankings. I will be updating the rankings as we get better information and Friday’s practice reports. Check back if you have some players with injuries or players whose viability depends on the status of an injured player. We will be tweeting injury info on Sunday, so feel free to go to the home page and sign up to follow us.

Tight end is a very deep position, so you have plenty of options if you lost a player to the bye or to injury.  There should be plenty of solid choices on the typical waiver wire.

Check out our weekly Start/Sit article at weei.com.

Rank PLAYER TEAM Opponent THE SKINNY
1 Rob Gronkowski NE @SEA Probable (hip)
2 Vernon Davis SF NYG
3 Tony Gonzalez ATL OAK
4 Owen Daniels HOU GB
5 Antonio Gates SD DEN They will need him here.
6 Jason Witten DAL @BAL
7 Fred Davis WAS MIN
8 Brent Celek PHI DET
9 Kyle Rudolph MIN @WAS
10 Brandon Pettigrew DET @PHI Probable (knee.) He’ll play at less than 100%,
11 Aaron Hernandez NE @SEA It sounds like he’ll play, but in a limited capacity. He’s got upside but tons of risk with limited snaps and also a rough matchup. Play him if you need him, but know the risks.
12 Jermaine Gresham CIN @CLE
13 Scott Chandler BUF @ARI
14 Jacob Tamme DEN @SD He looks good to go. (groin)
15 Dennis Pitta BAL DAL
16 Coby Fleener IND @NYJ
17 Brandon Myers OAK @ATL
18 Jermichael Finley GB @HOU He’s a game time decision with a shoulder injury. Make sure you have a fallback option if you wait it our. Joel Dreesen on Monday Night could be one option. DJ Williams is another, but he has a hamstring issue himself. Avoiding this situation entirely is an advisable move.
19 Joel Dreessen DEN @SD
20 Anthony Fasano MIA STL
21 Martellus Bennett NYG @SF He is not healthy, but he’ll probably play. We’d avoid him if you have another decent option.
22 Lance Kendricks STL @MIA
23 Dustin Keller NYJ IND Questionable (hamstring.) It looks like he’ll play and that is good news, but we’d avoid him for a week to make sure. Keller could have value going forward. There’s a target vacuum in NY.
24 Dwayne Allen IND @NYJ
25 D.J. Williams GB @HOU Could be a viable play in deep leagues if Finley sits, which he easily could.
26 Rob Housler ARI BUF
27 Tony Scheffler DET @PHI
28 Tony Moeaki KC @TB
29 Dallas Clark TB KC
30 Jordan Cameron CLE CIN
31 Todd Heap ARI BUF Game time decision with knee injury. Avoid him.
32 Ben Watson CLE CIN
33 Ed Dickson BAL DAL
34 Zach Miller SEA NE
35 Heath Miller PIT @TEN Played Thursday
36 Jared Cook TEN PIT Played Thursday
