Summary

Tight End Rank: #15
Overall: #102

Gonzalez just keeps going, going and going. Even at age 35, he had his best season with the Falcons, catching 80 passes for 875 yards and seven touchdowns. He had six games with 70-plus yards, including a 100-yard game in Week 13. Gonzalez was a consistent performer with the Falcons all season. In three seasons with the Falcons, Gonzalez averages 78 receptions for 799 yards and six touchdowns. You would have to think he would slow down sooner than later (36 years old now), but he will continue to start for the Falcons, a team that throws often. Gonzalez remains a great athlete and an extremely tough cover at tight end. He makes the tough catch in traffic because of his size, but can also outrun defenders because of his speed. He also knows his limitations at this point and plays to his strengths.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Gonzalez isn't quite an elite tight end but just out of that group. You really should expect a bit of a drop off this season but that still means he can get 70 catches for around 700 yards and six touchdowns. Consider him a low-end No. 1 tight end, worth taking after the top guys are off the board.
