Tight Ends
Jordan Cameron, Cleveland Browns — Cameron is thriving in Norv Turner’s offense, but his inconsistent quarterback play has hurt him. When Brian Hoyer was running the show in Cleveland, Cameron looked unstoppable. Unfortunately, since then he has had to deal with Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell. The good news for Cameron is that he leads all AFC tight ends in receptions (49) and receiving yards (596), with six touchdowns added in for good measure.
Julius Thomas, Denver Broncos — Thomas is having a breakout year and has been a reliable target for Peyton Manning all season long. Thomas was praised as an athletic guy that could transition well to the position and his 451 yards and eight touchdowns have shown that he can be everything we thought he should. Let’s just hope his injury isn’t too serious.
Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers — Gates has had a very solid season, but he’s been outplayed by the younger stars at his position. However, Gates is such a well-known player and a fan favorite that he will almost certainly make the cut.
