Tony Gonzalez Owns Rocky Position in Week 9: Fantasy Football TE Ranks

FanHouse fantasy positional rankings are compiled weekly by the staff in order to provide answers to possible lineup questions. These are assuming most leagues use Fleaflicker's standard scoring structure. If you need clarification, you need more players ranked, or have funky league rules, feel free to shoot us an email question.

Heading into the season, there were a nice amount of solid options at tight end. Going into this week, only Tony Gonzalez is reliable among the elite group. Antonio Gates is on a bye, as is the still-banged up Jeremy Shockey. Chris Cooley has been inconsistent and faces a rough and tough defense. Tony Scheffler is coming off injury, and thus, is not trustworthy just yet. Jason Witten is banged up. Oh, and there's the whole Kellen Winslow enlarged jewels staph infection fiasco.

- I love the chances for a huge game from Greg Olsen against the Lions at home.

- Anthony Fasano is a great plug-n-play this week, facing the porous Denver defense.
