Sandman's Individual Cheat Sheets

Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide Receivers | Tight Ends | Kickers | Team Defenses


 

Rank Player Name Comments
1 Todd Heap

Yards per catch average was between 12-13 before the injury bug hit him. McNair loved the tight end in Tennessee.

2 Jeremy Shockey

Shockey is just another receiver in Eli Manning's eyes. Second on the team in receptions and yards.

3 Antonio Gates

Has the best talent of the group but a first year starter at quarterback scares me.

4 Tony Gonzalez

Gonzalez had a solid year except for one thing, he only scored two touchdowns. That was in blip on the radar screen.

5 Chris Cooley

In only his second year he had 71 receptions. Cooley will be a must-start as long as Mark Brunell is the quarterback.

6 Alge Crumpler

Michael Vick's favorite target.

7 Jason Witten

Bledsoe loves to use the tight end and the addition of Terrell Owens should allow Witten room to roam.

8 Randy McMichael

Daunte uses the tight end all over the field so McMichael's numbers should improve.

9 L.J. Smith

McNabb has to throw to someone.

10 Vernon Davis

Offense features the tight end and now they have someone Alex Smith can have faith in.

11 Ben Troupe  
12 Kellen Winslow  
13 Heath Miller  
14 Marcus Pollard  
15 Dallas Clark  
16 Ben Watson  
17 Erron Kinney  
18 Jerramy Stevens  
19 Jermaine Wiggins  
20 Jeb Putzier  
21 Bubba Franks  
22 Zach Hilton  
23 Chris Baker  
24 Daniel Graham  
25 Alex Smith  
26 Courtney Anderson  
27 Marcedes Lewis  
28 Desmond Clark  
29 Joe Klopfenstein  
30 Tony Scheffler
