Positions: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs

Here are the cumulative results of the voting that took place at the FF Today board August 11th -14th. The FF Today Board members were asked to rank their top 15 TEs. The rankings are calculated using traditional polling measures so that a consensus can be reached. A big thank you to Kirk Hollis for his help on this feature.

Analysis: Witten and Winslow assume positions #1 and #2 in the rankings due to concerns about the health of Antonio Gates. Gates still comes in at #3, but will no doubt be a risky pick until his status becomes more clear. Clear drop-offs after Shockey at #7 and especially Crumpler at #13. If you don't have a TE by the time the top 13 guys are off the board, you may be grasping for straws if the Geeks are correct. I was surprised to see Vernon Davis fall to #12 based upon his talent, but I was surprised to see Gore fall as far as he did, too. I guess the QB situation in San Francisco has everybody a little wary.

Rankings based on this scoring system:
» 1 pt for every 20 yards passing
» 1 pt for every 10 yards rushing or receiving
» 4 pts for every passed TD
» 6 pts for every rushed/received TD
