Tight End Rank: #10 Overall: #77
Gonzalez just keeps chugging along. His stats did take a decent dip last season but he was still a productive tight end in a good Falcons' offense. He caught 70 passes, giving him eight straight seasons with at least 70 receptions. His yardage total (658) was the lowest total since 1998, though. Gonzalez averaged less than 10 yards per reception for the first time in her career. So Gonzalez has lost a little, but not a much for a 35-year old tight end. Gonzalez is a great athlete and an extremely tough cover at tight end. He makes the tough catch in traffic because of his size, but can also outrun defenders because of his speed. He also knows his limitations at this point and plays to his strengths.

Gonzalez was just an average No. 1 fantasy tight end for the first time in his career last season. He can still help fantasy teams but his best days are behind him. He is a low-end No. 1 tight end. He'll still get between 60 and 70 receptions but his yard won't be off the charts. He also isn't a huge red-zone threat with the Falcons, catching 12 touchdown passes in two seasons. |
