2012 Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings: Week 4
By: Athlon Sports | 9/27/12, 5:16 AM EDT
Each week during the NFL season, we will rank enough players at each position to appease everyone from those in 8-team leagues to 16-team leagues, those that can start two QBs, two TEs, three RBs and four WRs. We cut out the rest, because if you're looking at who the 50th-best running back or the 17th-best kicker is for that week, you need more help than any Web site can give you.
Indianapolis and Pittsburgh are on bye.
