Did anyone besides me notice that week seven was a banner week for tight ends? Twelve different tight ends scored touchdowns and five others had very good receiving games. I doubt that this will become a trend, but it does go to show that there is depth at the position.

The following tight ends scored touchdowns in week seven:

Heath Miller

Kris Mangum

Kris Wilson

Jermaine Wiggins

Owen Daniels

Brandon Manumaleuna

David Martin

Reggie Kelly

Dallas Clark

Chris Cooley

Antonio Gates

Alge Crumpler (3)

The following tight ends did not score touchdowns, but scored well in reception/yardage leagues:

Tony Gonzalez - 6/138

Randy McMichael - 7/77 but caused two interceptions

Ben Watson - 5/60

Courtney Anderson - 3/55

Ben Utecht - 4/52

Good luck to all this fantasy football season!
