2013 Analysis Coming Soon ... What I said in 2010 ... Premiere Tight End: Dallas Clark, Indianapolis Colts In 2009, Dallas Clark totaled 100 receptions for 1106 yards and 10 touchdowns. A matchup nightmare for NFL defensive coordinators, Clark seems adept at finding those soft spots in zone coverage allowing Peyton Manning to always have a dependable check-down option. His production will continue in 2010 and the Colts renew their quest of a second World Championship. Most Overrated Tight End: Todd Heap, Baltimore Ravens The former first rounder out of Arizona State just turned 30. In his younger days, Heap was an incredible pass catcher and endzone threat, but age is beginning to become a factor especially with regard to injury. In 2009, Heap caught 53 balls for 593 yards and 6 touchdowns. With the additions of Anquan Boldin and Donte Stallworth along with the resigning of Derek Mason, you can expect Heap production to take a significant dip. 2010 Fantasy Sleeper: Jermichael Findley Jermichael Findley had a breakout season for the Green Bay Packers last year. The 6'5" 250 lb tight end out of Texas became Aaron Rodgers' check down option shows great promise as a red zone threat. He's a propect that can be grabbed later in the draft and will produce like a top five tight end. Sure to Disappoint: Greg Olsen, Chicago Bears Greg Olsen finds himself in a precarious position in Chicago. Jay Cutler, the strong armed franchise savior who came to town from Denver last year was unable to fully utilize his unique skill set in 2009. This year new offensive coordinator, Mike Martz, comes to town to helm the Bears offense., which is not good news for Olsen. Martz's "Greatest Show" offenses are notorious for being Tight End killers ... ask Vernon Davis. The tight end position in Martz's scheme is primarily used as a blocker in most formations, so Olsen's pass catching abilities will be wasted. The Next Great Fantasy TE: Ed Dickson, Baltimore Ravens A majority of the success in fantasy football at the tight end position is scheme. Ed Dickson has the advantage of being situated in the highly potent Baltimore Ravens offense with strong armed quarterback Joe Flacco. He's a vertical threat who can stretch the field with a set of excellent hands and will take full advantage of defenses keying on the talented veterans around him. It may not be this year, but Dickson has the tools to be a star in this league. What I said in 2009 ... Premiere Tight End: Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers Antonio Gates continues to be the prototypical millennium tight end that all NFL teams are looking for. He's tall, catches the ball at it's highest point, runs great routes and can block. His production in 2008 was a bit off the mark but I expect him to rebound in 2009 as Philip River takes the reigns of the San Diego Charger offense. Most Overrated Tight End: Greg Olsen, Chicago Bears Greg Olsen has been a bit of a disappointment since coming to Chicago. The Bears just don't seem to utilize him well. Olsen is a pas catching tight end that's not known for his blocking. The Bears have a porous offensive line and Jay Cutler is not the type of quarterback that utilizes his tight ends. It will be interesting to see what happens with Olsen in Chicago. 2009 Fantasy Sleeper: Vernon Davis, San Francisco Mike Martz leaving San Francisco could be the best thing that ever happened to Vernon Davis. Although Martz's greatest show on turf piles up yardage and touchdowns on offense, it's the wide receivers that are the beneficiaries of this offensive production. Tight ends are expected to block. With a new coordinator in the mix, I expect Davis to return to running routes and catching TD's. Sure to Disappoint: Jeremy Shockey, New Orleans Saints I think Jeremy Shockey has lost a step. The Giants were happy to part ways with the All-Pro and his move to New Orleans netted average statistics in 2008. I expect his decline to continue in 2009. The Next Great Fantasy TE: Brandon Pettigrew, Detroit Lions Pettigrew is a monster at the tight end position. Like Antonio Gates he's tall with a wide body and great hands. Pettigrew can block and will be a fixture in the Detroit Lions offense for many years.
What I said in 2008 ... 2007 Fantasy Sleeper: Randy McMichael, St. Louis Rams Sure to Disappoint: Dallas Clark, Indianapolis Colts
