[UPDATED] 2011 Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings: Antonio Gates, Dallas Clark The Favorites

There’s still an opportunity for fantasy drafts to happen before the start of the season, so we decided to update our rankings at each position. One of our partners at SB Nation Fantasy Football, PlayThisGuy.com, sent us their consensus Top 20 at each position. These rankings are drawn from experts around the Internet and condensed into one easy-to-use table for draft purposes.

As always, you can’t avoid Antonio Gates in the top spot for fantasy tight ends. Following him, the experts still believe in Dallas Clark, even with the uncertainty surrounding Peyton Manning. Jermichael Finley has leap-frogged Jason Witten in the rankings, with Vernon Davis rounding out the top five. New England managed to get two tight ends into the top twenty, Rob Gronkowski is ninth, while Aaron Hernandez is eighteenth. It’s tough to decide which one will play the dominant role for the Pats.
