1. Kellen Winslow, CLE--Winslow had a break out season last season and he has the genes to become the best in 2008.2. Antonio Gates, SD--Gates had a down year in 2007 but he was still good enough to be a top tight end.
3. Jason Witten, DAL--Under the new coaching regimen, he is a big part of the passing game.
4. Tony Gonzalez, KC--Despite his age, he's still the Chiefs go-to receiver.
5. Dallas Clark, IND--Will continue to be Peyton Manning's go-to-guy in the redzone.
6. Vernon Davis, SF--This will be his 3rd year in the league...Ching-ching!
7. Chris Cooley, WAS--Another redzone threat and short-yardage fiend.
8. Heath Miller, PIT--Should become more involved in the Steelers' passing game.
9. Todd Heap, BAL--He'll likely be the first option in the passing game for the Ravens' inexperienced quarterbacks.
10. Tony Scheffler, DEN--Another third-year player who will makes strides toward the elite.
11. Jeremy Shockey, NYG--If Shockey and the Giants can put their differences behind them he could break the top 10.
12. Donald Lee, GB--After Brett Favre's retirement, the Packers will need Lee now more than ever.
13. L.J. Smith, PHI--2008 was marred with injuries for Smith. If he can put those behind him he could be in the top 10.
14. Ben Utecht, CIN--In his first starting gig, he should see plenty of passes as the third receiving option.
15. Benjamin Watson, NE--If it weren't for Randy Moss and injuries he could be in the top eight.
16. Alge Crumpler, TEN--If he can stay healthy, Vince Young will have a reliable target.
17. Owen Daniels, HOU--He gained the yards in 2008. All he needs now is for the Texans to pass more in the redzone.
18. Greg Olsen, CHI--The only thing hurting his ascension in the rankings is the Bears' putrid offense.
19. Zach Miller, OAK--The Raiders' offense appears to be taking shape. Miller should be a big part of it.
20. Marcedes Lewis, JAX--Nothing flashy here.
21. Leonard Pope, AZ--It will be interesting to see if he contributes more to the offense this season.
