Smokin Joe's Individual Cheat Sheets

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

I still have Gates number one even though Brees is in New Orleans. Rivers completed 67%of his passes in college so he should be able to find his best receiver a few times each game.

If Shockey can stay healthy and play 16 games he is as good as anyone not named Gates.

McNair has made a living throwing the ball to his tight ends. Heap could be in for a career year.

Gonzalez is on the downside of his career but his downside is still better then most of the other tight ends upside.

McMichael is the other receiver in Miami who should be a lot more productive with a big accurate quarterback like Culpepper throwing him the ball.

Crumpler would be ranked up with Gates and Shockey if he had and an accurate quarterback. His is still a very good tight end and a must-start most weeks.

Now that TO is in Dallas Smith is likely to be one of McNabb's favorite and most reliable targets.

The Cowboys had offensive line troubles last year so Witten was asked to stay in and block a lot more than the previous year. I am afraid the same thing could happen again this year. They need to give Bledsoe more time to find TO.

Cooley would be ranked higher except the Skins signed Christian Fauria in the off season. Cooley is still the number one tight end but Fauria has shown himself to be a reliable red zone target and he could steal some scores from Chris this year.

Miller plays for run-first coach Bill Cowher but he still finished with 6 touchdowns in his rookie year.
