1. Rob Gronkowski (NE): Gronkowski had another multi-touchdown game against the Chiefs on Monday night. He caught four passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns. He gets so many looks from Brady that he doesn’t really seem like a tight end, but a wide receiver. Projected fantasy points: 12.3.

2. Antonio Gates (SD): Gates scored his third touchdown of the year against the Bears. He also caught four passes for 63 yards. The Chargers have struggled, especially Philip Rivers, but Gates remains one of his quarterback’s best receiving options. Projected fantasy points: 10.8.

3. Jason Witten (DAL): Witten only caught three passes, but accumulated 85 yards and a touchdown out of his few opportunities. He has five touchdowns on the year, 670 yards receiving, and remains the Cowboys leader in receptions. Projected fantasy points: 9.6.

4. Tony Gonzalez (ATL): Gonzales had his third straight game with a receiving touchdown in the win over the Titans. He also caught five passes for 74 yards. The Falcons play the struggling Vikings on Sunday, and should have plenty of success through the air. Projected fantasy points: 8.9.

5. Jimmy Graham (NO): Graham scored his sixth touchdown of the year in week ten to go along with seven catches for 82 yards. Graham leads the team in receptions, 20 ahead of the second place receiver Marques Colston. Projected fantasy points: 8.9.

Not top 5, but could be: This week’s tight end that missed the cut is Green Bay’s Jermichael Finley. Finley caught just one pass for 30 yards in the Packers win over the Bucs. That shouldn’t discourage anyone because Finley is always a good option when Aaron Rodgers is behind center. Projected fantasy points: 8.8.
