Tight ends, defenses, kickers

TIGHT ENDS
1. Antonio Gates, San Diego: 924 yards receiving, 9 TDs. Only TE out there who can produce like a WR each week.
2. Tony Gonzalez, Kansas City: 900 yards, 5 TDs. Still going strong, but loss of Trent Green hurts.
3. Todd Heap, Baltimore: 765 yards, 6 TDs. Steady production year after year.
4. Jeremy Shockey, N.Y. Giants: 623 yards, 7 TDs. Frustrating to watch, but Giants make it a point to target him.
5. Vernon Davis, San Francisco: 265 yards, 3 TDs. Superhuman capable of big things if fully healthy.
6. Chris Cooley, Washington: 734 yards, 6 TDs. Has shown a rapport with young Jason Campbell.
7. Kellen Winslow, Cleveland: 875 yards, 3 TDs. Gets a ton of looks and is working his way back to 100 percent.
8. Alge Crumpler, Atlanta: 780 yards, 8 TDs. Knee problems, Michael Vick saga knock him down a peg.
9. Jason Witten, Dallas: 754 yards, TD. Capable of much more, but do Cowboys agree?
10. Randy McMichael, St. Louis: 640 yards, 3 TDs. A safe pick and part of an improving offense.
