Fantasy Football 2015 Tight End Rankings: Week 5

So Rob Gronkowski is back this week and he takes his rightful place as the No. 1-ranked tight end. But the rest of the tight end rankings are really as clear as mud. Can you trust supposed studs like Travis Kelce or Greg Olsen on a week-to-week basis? Probably not but there really aren’t any better options out there.

Week 5 also marks the return of San Diego's Antonio Gates from suspension. Gates isn't getting any younger, but he's been as reliable as they come at the position, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has gotten off to a strong start throwing the ball, and Gates' fill-in, Ladarius Green has already suffered a couple of concussions. If you have held onto Gates this long, you may as well throw him out there and see what he does Monday night against Pittsburgh.

Positional Rankings: QB I RB I WR I TE I DST I K I Flex

Teams on bye: Carolina, Miami, Minnesota, New York Jets

Here are the Week 5 tight end rankings:
