Tier 1

Antonio Gates vs. Den – Gates is playing like he’s 10 years younger. Will shine on TNF.

Jordan Reed vs. Dal – TEs have hurt the Dallas secondary.

Charles Clay vs. Buf – He’s a low No. 1 option but could be a nice sleeper play.

Bust

Jordan Cameron vs. NO – The Saints invested a ton of money into their safeties when they brought Byrd over. They’ll keep on the best receiver for the Browns.

1. Jimmy Graham, NO –  No question here. He’ll likely go in the 1st round of your fantasy draft.

2. Julius Thomas, Den – Manning loves throwing to his explosive TE.

3. Rob Gronkowski, NE – This depends on his health. He may start off slow like a year ago while recovering from an ACL.

4. Julius Thomas vs. Hou – Thomas will top 80 yards with 1-2 TDs.

Not far behind

Fred Davis vs. Dal – Whichever TE starts vs. Dal make sure he’s in your lineup. The Cowboys pass D is horrendous.

Jordan Cameron vs. Pit – Look for Cameron to get back into the end zone against the Steelers.

Potential Bust – Beware

Jordan Reed vs. SF – His health may be an issue but the larger problem is the defense he is facing.

1. Rob Gronkowski vs. Mia – Gronk returned with over 100 yards. He’ll find the end zone in this one.

2. Julius Thomas vs. Ind – Manning’s other favorite mid-range target will thrive on Sunday.

3. Vernon Davis vs. Ten – He’s Kaepernick’s go to guy and only guy at the moment. Tennessee’s D is better than people realize.
