Fantasy Football 2014 Tight End Rankings: Week 13

Author:

With a couple of guys returning from injury, Athlon Sports’ Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings for Week 13 is as deep as it’s been all season. Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham and Julius Thomas (who missed last week’s game because of an ankle injury) continue to headline the group, but Delanie Walker returned in Week 12 after missing a game because of a concussion and paced the position with 155 yards receiving. Additionally, Kyle Rudolph, considered by many a top-10 TE entering this season, caught three passes for 50 yards in his second game back after missing the previous seven because of a sports hernia. And then there’s Jason Witten, the wily old veteran who got off to a slow start this season but has picked up things lately. Witten averaged just 6.3 fantasy points (Athlon scoring) over his first seven games. Over his last four games that number has doubled to 12.6 on the strength of three touchdown catches during this span.
