There's 3 TE I like on that list....Keller, Olsen & Shockey.

The Jets/Saints game with be a shoot-out. Neither team I think will be able to run much...they will have to do all of their scoring through the air. Keller is the 'go-to' and 'check-down' guy. Brees loves Shockey in the endzone.

Olsen plays a rocky Detroit team, however, they could blow them out early and then go with Forte the rest of the game.

I personally would go with Shockey or Keller.

Here is how I would rank the top 3 TE on that list.

Olson- Like the matchup alot against DET crappy D
Keller- As Wags said this game is going to be a shootout. Keller should get some nice looks
Boss- Great matchup against KC

I am not sold on Shockey. The most yards a TE has had against the Jets has been 44, and none have scored TD's.

I like Keller here. Shockey jumped out at me first, but the stats ganggreen just posted swayed me in the other direction. NO has a terrific offense and weapons all over the place. If the numbers suggest the Jets shut down the TE, then there's no reason to believe NO won't look elsewhere for production in their passing game. Couple that with a fairly week NO defense and a rookie QB, which traditionally means more looks to TEs, and I think Keller has a decent shot at having a productive day.

Olsen or Keller-

Reason:

Shockey-lot of options on NO's team. JETS Def. is for real.
Olsen- Options too, but they are playing DET
Keller- only other receiving talent is leon and cotchery and lets face it, NO couldn't stop my grandmother.

I would select Olsen, but mainly because I would want to keep him on my team throughout the season.

New Orleans defense actually might not be that bad; they only gave up 7 points to the the Buffalo Bills last week and they have Gregg Williams as their defensive coordinator. My rankings would go like this:

1. Shockey
1b. Olson
3. Keller
