Week 3 Tight End Rankings - PPR Leagues

Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports

There are a lot of TE questions after Week 2: Where does Jimmy Graham stand? Will Rob Gronkowski ever be number 2? Nick Petraccione has your answers in this weeks rankings.

The answer is no, Gronkowski is staying at #1 this week. Also, I am sticking with the same top three even though Travis Kelce, and especially Jimmy Graham, didn't put up great numbers in their last performance. Rumors in the locker room are that Graham is frustrated because of his lack of involvement (only two targets last week) and rightfully so. Be patient Graham owners, the Seahawks are motivated to get him involved more in the offense. He is always a must-start, he just needs some time to adjust. I think you will see the Graham you've hoped for this week against a poor Chicago defense.

A tight end I have been raving about since preseason is living it to my hype. I'm talking about Eric Ebron. He has finally found a way into this Detroit offense after not having much of a role at all last season. He has found the end zone the last two weeks and puts up very consistent numbers. This week, Ebron moves up into my top-10. He may be a touchdown dependent tight end, but he has a lot of upside as he should become a bigger part of the offense as time goes on. I guess all that building chemistry with Matt Stafford in the offseason is finally paying off.

Delanie Walker owners, make sure to keep tabs on him. He was limited in practice Wednesday, but I expect him to play come Sunday. Against the Colts last year, Walker had 12 receptions for 127 yards and tacked on a score. It's a favorable mathcup you don't want to miss. However, if his hand injury is bothering him too much to suit up, pick up Anthony Fasano who filled in well during Walker's absence.

Jason Witten is the main target in Dallas and he's facing the Falcons this week, but there are a couple concerns about him. First is the knee/ankle injury. He practiced today in individual drills and has plans to make it on the field Sunday, but it could limit his effectiveness. Second, and most important, is the QB situation. Witten doesn't have nearly the rapport with Brandon Weeden that he does with Tony Romo. All that being said, unless you have a guy ranked above him, you're starting him.
