Jan 04, 2016 04:35 PM EST

Rob Gronkowski (New England Patriots): Gronkowski is the most dominant tight end in the NFL and it is hard to imagine that changing anytime soon. Gronk suffered a knee sprain which hindered him towards the end of the season but he still was effective as he is the primary target for Tom Brady. Gronk caught 72 out of his 120 targets for 1,176 yards and 11 touchdowns this season.

Jordan Reed (Washington Redskins): Jordan Reed finally had a breakout season where he dominated in the red zone. Reed proved to be the main target for Kirk Cousins as the Redskins tried to wrap up the NFC East. Reed caught 87 of his 114 targets for 952 yards and 11 touchdowns. Reed also lost two fumbles but still an impressive year as he will finish just right behind Gronkowski in fantasy production.

Gary Barnidge (Cleveland Browns): Barnidge proved to be a pleasant surprise as he became the primary target for the Browns offense. Barnidge proved to be a matchup nightmare wherever he was put on the field and ending up having a huge season hauling in 79 out of 123 targets for 1,103 yards. Barnidge also got into the end zone 9 times.  

Greg Olsen (Carolina Panthers): Olsen proved to be the most reliable receiver in the Panthers offense as he remained Cam Newton's go to target. Olsen did struggle at points this season however he largely dominated defenders all season long. Olsen reeled in 77 of his 123 targets for 1,104 yards, 7 touchdowns, and a lost fumble.

Delanie Walker (Tennessee Titans): Walker was Marcus Mariota's favorite target this season and managed to have a very productive season. Walker hauled in 94 of his 133 targets for 1,088 yards and 6 touchdowns. Walker would tack on a 2 point conversion as well as 1 rushing attempt that gained 36 yards.
