Pretty soon, you will be able to see our 2010 player profiles for detailed analysis and projections, but here's the low-down on tight ends in 2010. OA is the current overall RotoCommunity ranking at the position. DG = Dave Gawron, PM = Pat Mayo, RS = Richard Schortenmeyer III, and AV = average.
!!! Tier rankings updated 9/4/10 !!!
STRATEGY
Don't draft a kicker until the last round. Preferably draft one with good match-ups to start the season, then replace and rotate as necessary as the season rolls on.
TIER 1 (elite)
| OA | player | DG | PM | RS | AV | espn | $ |
| 1 | Nate Kaeding SD (Bye: 10) | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1.67 | 139 | 4 |
| 2 | Rob Bironas TEN (Bye: 9) | 1 | 5 | 1 | 2.33 | 135 | 4 |
| 3 | Stephen Gostkowski NE (Bye: 5) | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3.33 | 132 | 3 |
| 4 | Garrett Hartley NO (Bye: 10) | 5 | 2 | 4 | 3.67 | 129 | 3 |
| 5 | Mason Crosby GB (Bye: 10) | 7 | 3 | 5 | 5.00 | 127 | 3 |
Grab any of these if they're available in the second-t-last or last round.
TIER 2 (star)
| 6 | Ryan Longwell MIN (Bye: 4) | 4 | 8 | 6 | 6.00 | 126 | 2 |
| 7 | David Akers PHI (Bye: 8) | 6 | 7 | 7 | 6.67 | 125 | 2 |
| 8 | Matt Prater DEN (Bye: 9) | 13 | 10 | 11 | 11.33 | 124 | 2 |
| 9 | Lawrence Tynes NYG (Bye: 8) | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9.00 | 123 | 2 |
One of these would be fine as a last-round grab.
TIER 3 (solid)
| 10 | Jay Feely ARI (Bye: 6) | 10 | 15 | 8 | 11.00 | 122 | 1 |
| 11 | Dan Carpenter MIA (Bye: 5) | 12 | 11 | 10 | 11.00 | 121 | 1 |
| 12 | Robbie Gould CHI (Bye: 8) | 18 | 17 | 16 | 17.00 | 120 | 1 |
| 13 | Nick Folk NYJ (Bye: 7) | 15 | 14 | 13 | 14.00 | 119 | 1 |
These are decent enough.
TIER 4 (not as solid)
| 14 | Adam Vinatieri IND (Bye: 7) | 11 | 21 | 12 | 14.67 | 118 | 1 |
| 15 | Sebastian Janikowski OAK (Bye: 10) | 19 | 12 | 14 | 15.00 | 117 | 1 |
| 16 | Joe Nedney SF (Bye: 9) | 20 | 13 | 15 | 16.00 | 116 | 1 |
| 17 | Ryan Succop KC (Bye: 4) | 17 | 16 | 19 | 17.33 | 115 | 1 |
| 18 | Jeff Reed PIT (Bye: 5) | 14 | 22 | 17 | 17.67 | 114 | 1 |
| 19 | David Buehler DAL (Bye: 4) | 16 | 23 | 18 | 19.00 | 113 | 1 |
| 20 | Rian Lindell BUF (Bye: 6) | 25 | 18 | 22 | 21.67 | 112 | 1 |
| 21 | Neil Rackers HOU (Bye: 7) | 21 | 24 | 21 | 22.00 | 111 | 1 |
Waiver wire fodder in most leagues.
TIER 5 (iffy)

| 23 | Josh Scobee JAC (Bye: 9) | 28 | 19 | 26 | 24.33 | 109 | 0 |

Possible bye-week replacements when the match-ups are right.

| 31 | Graham Gano WAS (Bye: 9) | 32 | 31 | 30 | 31.00 | 101 | 0 |
| 32 | Mike Nugent CIN (Bye: 6) | 100 | 0 |
Not likely to have many good fantasy weeks.
