All season it’s been the Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham show atop our tight end rankings. When Graham was injured, Gronk had the number one spot on lockdown. Shortly after Graham got back to full speed, Gronk broke his arm and left Graham alone atop the weekly rankings. This week though, there’s a new sheriff in town and fittingly, he’s a Cowboy.
Here’s our top 15 tight ends for week 16

I'm an avid Boston sports fan and fantasy sports enthusiast. When I'm not blogging, I serve as Audio and Video producer as well as High School History teacher at Harvest Ministries on the island of Guam. The 14-hour time difference can make things challenging, but I'll play any fantasy sports just about anytime I can.
