Peter Schrager's (Fox Sports) Top 99 for 2009

Only 3 TEs made the list, and Jason Witten barely made the list. I can understand him putting Witten, Gates, and Gonzalez ahead of Cooley based on stats from last year, mostly due to TDs. I think he just didn't value TEs much for his list.

There are also very few TEs in the league that are real difference makers. Witten, Gates, Gonzalez, Dallas Clark, Cooley, maybe Owen Daniels and Kellen Winslow. Outside of that, it's slim pickings.

I'd add Sheffler and John Carlson to that mix. But the point is still valid. There's a handful of teams in the NFL that just won't get much production from their TEs.

It'll be interesting to watch and see if Greg Olsen has a career year with Cutler tossing the rock there.

Good point.
