Sleeper Tight Ends – 2011 Fantasy Football Season

While it seems many positions are shallow in 2011 fantasy football, one position that has a lot of depth is the tight end position. For that reason, there are a handful of very interesting sleeper tight ends that will have fantasy owners dreaming of the possibilities. Here are a few tight end sleepers that could make a good addition to your fantasy football team in 2011:

Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints
So many people love Jimmy Graham that he might not classify as a sleeper anymore. That said, if you can get him in the second half of your fantasy football draft, you’ll really have to think about rolling the dice on him.

Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots
If his rookie season is any indication, Rob Gronkowski is a touchdown machine. With his size and hands, he’s likely to remain a red zone threat.

Dustin Keller, New York Jets
At the beginning of last year, Dustin Keller appeared to be blossoming into a fantasy football tight end stud. But his production slowed up as the season progressed. Could he become a top five tight end? He definitely has the tools.

Jermaine Gresham, Cincinnati Bengals
If you want a backup sleeper tight end with a very high ceiling, draft Jermaine Gresham. He’s as athletic and long as just about any tight end in the NFL.
