Tight Ends

Start: The Saints pass defense has been a train wreck in their 0-2 start, and Kyle Rudolph leads the Vikings in targets and catches through their first two games of the season.  With Norv Turner making him a focus of the offense, look for Rudolph to have a big week in a high-scoring affair in the Big Easy. (last week: Delanie Walker)

Sit: Even if he’s active, I’d stay away from Jordan Cameron who is still battling a shoulder injury.  The Ravens have excelled against the tight end so far this season, and will be looking to take away the Browns biggest receiving threat.  I don’t think many of the Browns or Ravens are lined up for a big week, but Cameron is a low-end TE1 at best if he does play in this one. (last week: Colby Fleener)

Flier: As a one-week flier pick, Jared Cook of the Rams is a nice option as he takes on the Cowboys who have been beaten by Delanie Walker and Vernon Davis in their first two games of the season.  Cook has four catches in each of the first two games of the season, and should see more come his way on Sunday.  He isn’t a great long-term sleeper but if you need a last-minute flier, Cook’s worth a look. (last week: Larry Donnell)
