Top 10 TE for FF07

10. Owen Daniels--Was good on a bad Houston team last year, will be better on an equally bad Houston team this year.

9. LJ Smith--One of Donovan McNabb's favorite targets when both of them are healthy. It is his contract year so he will do everything he can to be in games.

8. Randy McMichael--Bulger won't look to him much between the twenties, but Randy should get tons of chances in the red zone to show off his catching ability.

7. Chris Cooley--Jason Campbell loves throwing to Cooley and it helps that Cooley catches everything thrown to him.

6. Kellen Winslow--Should provide a nice short option for Quinn. Which means they will develop a good repoire, which means Quinn will look for him in the red zone.

5. Todd Heap--Baltimore's top red zone target. He runs great routes and runs well after the catch.

4. Jeremy Shockey--Required to block too much. The Giants need to let him run more routes and be Manning's go to guy. If that happens then he will have a great season. If.

3. Vernon Davis--Alex Smith is improving with every snap. Vernon can fly and is strong so he should be open plenty for Smith to throw to all over the field. He could blow up in '07.

2. Tony Gonzalez--No surprise here. Croyle may be a very green rookie QB, but Gonzo always gets his catches and has the athleticism to give his young QB a great target.

1. Antonio Gates--Even less surprise at this. Gates is the best TE hands down. He has a great QB to throw him the ball and is the other cornerstone to the passing game (LT is the other). Expect another big year from Gates.
