No matter what anyone tells you, as long as Tony Gonzalez is healthy and has a capable quarterback getting the ball to him, he's going to be one of the more productive tight ends in the NFL. That's just a given. That's why the tight rankings for fantasy football at SB Nation are debatable, and we invite you to join the discussion.
Gonzalez is ranked No. 11, just behind Jacob Tamme of the Broncos and ahead of Kyle Rudolph of the Vikings. You can check out the top 20 below:

Tamme is going to be a real sleeper because of the return of Peyton Manning. Who knows what that could do for the tight end's season and particularly his fantasy prospects. As always, though, watch out for the always reliable Gonzalez.
