Now obviously, with Gronkowski in doubt to start immediately, I had to drop him a few spots. But once he's back in the game I expect Brady to throw to him quite a lot. There are some other tights ends I failed to mention in this list, so let's get them in real quick.
Coby Fleener-IND, James Casey-PHI, Tyler Eifert-CIN
Actually that's all that comes to mind. Either one of those guys I would take before getting to #27 on the list. Now tights ends aren't of great importance in fantasy, but they can, and will, make or break a game for you. The 1st 6 names on this list, try and draft when the opportunity comes. Never hurts to draft a tight end who plays more like a receiver. Everyone else can be had in the later rounds. Heck, most of these guys will linger on the board until the far later rounds. Now, if you want some advice, here are some guys I expect to be pretty big for their teams. Greg Olsen, have always liked him, and he brings in points. With Carolina not having too much in the pass game, expect Olsen to be a redzone threat. Martellus Bennett, picked him up last year with the Giants. Did NOT disappoint! And I expect him to be even better in an offense that already has so little to work with. Heath Miller, always a great option and has great chemistry with Roethlisberger. Delanie Walker, was really great with the 49ers, but overshadowed by Vernon Davis. Could have a great year with the Titans. Lastly, Jared Cook. Rams don't have much in the passing game, and Cook has been teaming up with Bradford already this summer. Expect Cook to be Bradford's go-to guy.
Now a couple guys to look out for. Dustin Keller, still not sure how that new Miami offense will work. Ed Dickson, will be great for a couple games, but don't expect too much out of him. Then again, with the Ravens offense being somewhat depleted, he may have a decent year. Brent Celek, Eagles are looking at using a 2 tight end set, he could lose receptions because of this, and it's not like he was getting many to begin with. Jacob Tamme, with the addition of Wes Welker, Peyton has too many options to throw too, and I doubt Tamme will be a heavily relied upon option. He did not produce as well as I thought he would last year with Manning. Jermaine Gresham, could be out done by Eifert and I expect that to happen. And Kellen Winslow, would be a good option if Geno Smith takes over, otherwise avoid him.
Now that's all said a done, there are a few notes I'd like to throw in. First off, Ahmad Bradshaw failed his conditioning test and was put on the PUP list. I expect him to start the season, but this could result in Vick Ballard seeing more time. Bradshaw drops a few spots on my list. Percy Harvin also on the PUP list, may even require surgery. Still a great option, but keep a close eye on him in the coming weeks. Drops several spots on my draft board, but not too far down.

That's really all I have today folks. I may put up the Defense list next week, but I've covered the major important positions of fantasy football. So if any other big news pops up, I'll be sure to blog it. Until then, happy hunting everyone!
