Tight End Rank: #155 Overall: #949
Crumpler had the lowest totals of his career, but was a factor in the Patriots' offense as he did a good job as a blocker. Crumpler wasn't a factor in the passing game, catching six passes all season. He did score touchdowns on two of those six catches, though. Crumpler had at least 24 receptions in every season of his career before last season. He is getting less and less work, though, having fewer than 260 yards three straight seasons. He'll continue to serve a reserve role at tight end, working more as a blocker than a receiver at age 33. Crumpler isn't a speed demon, but is a big target that runs good routes and has good hands.

Crumpler was once a top fantasy tight end, but those days are long gone. Go with younger, more exciting options at the position. He won't near his numbers from his best days in Atlanta. |

| If the New England Patriots trade WR Randy Moss to the Minnesota Vikings, they would create a huge void at receiver, reports Mike Reiss, of ESPNBoston.com. Moss has played in 196 out of 248 snaps for the team this year and there isn't another player on the team's roster who could step in and fill that role while also constantly threatening defenses deep. The offense, however, has morphed this year, as it is now more of a tight end-based attack. From 2007-09, the Patriots ran the majority of their snaps out of a three-receiver set. This year, however, they have run with three-receiver sets on just 36.2 percent of their plays while running with multiple tight ends 64.5 percent of the time. TEs Alge Crumpler, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez have opened up new options for the offense. |

| The New England Patriots have overhauled their tight end position during the offseason, writes Mike Reiss, of ESPNBoston.com. The Patriots have drafted TEs Rob Gronkowski (6-6, 264) and Aaron Hernandez (6-2, 245) and added veteran Alge Crumpler (6-2, 262) during the offseason. Gronkowski and Crumpler have the needed size to make a difference at the line of scrimmage, while Hernandez appears to be more of a pure pass-catcher. |
