16. Andrew Quarless, Green Bay Packers

If Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers didn’t have so many talented wide receivers, Andrew Quarless would likely be even higher on this list. He has caught 23 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns, and has been a huge part of the Packers’ success this year. Quarless has made clutch catches all year long, and it is obvious that Rodgers has a lot of trust in him.

15. Tim Wright, New England Patriots

Tim Wright hasn’t had the biggest season of any tight end out there, but he has figured out how to make the most of his opportunities. He has caught 24 passes for 232 yards, but his six touchdown catches is what gets him this high in the rankings. Tom Brady loves him, and at 24 years of age he still has plenty of room to grow into his full potential.

14. Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles have been blessed with two of the top-32 tight ends in the NFL, and Zach Ertz is their best target. He has caught 34 passes for 460 yards and two touchdowns on the season. Those numbers show how important he has been to the Eagles’ offense, but he still has plenty more room to grow and plenty more talent to tap into in order to improve those numbers.

13. Owen Daniels, Baltimore Ravens

Owen Daniels was signed by the Baltimore Ravens this past offseason, and he has come through with a very solid season. He has caught 39 passes for 385 yards and three touchdowns on the year, which has been huge for them due to the injury that Dennis Pitta suffered once again. If Baltimore is going to make the playoffs, they are going to need their tight end to continue stepping up.
