Positions: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs

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

No surprises at the top... Shockey did regain the #3 spot barely over Crumpler after falling below him in value in our June rankings. Big drop-offs after #8 and #13 with a lot of varying opinions as to who the tight ends of choice are between #14 and #21. Only those of you required to draft at least two tight ends will even be worried about that, though.

Surprises: Antonio Gates was more popular with the Geeks than I thought he'd be. On a minor note, Anthony Becht drew very little interest, meaning that many think Ricks will cut in on what few receptions Becht was going to get. Super job voting, guys! Now, go out there and select some tight ends!
