Here are the Lester’s Legends tight end rankings for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs.

1. Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots
Gronk led all tight ends with 11 touchdown catches despite playing in just 11 games. If my math is correct, that’s an average of one touchdown per game. He has averaged nearly a touchdown per game in his career with 38 scores in 43 games. He has three touchdowns in four playoff games. The scores all came in one game, but clearly Gronk is the top tight end option in the league.

2. Aaron Hernandez, New England Patriots
Gronk’s partner in crime, Hernandez, was a force in last year’s playoffs. Gronk still commands the most attention from defenses, making Hernandez a dangerous threat. I could see Hernandez with more yards than Gronk, but Gronk’s touchdown prowess keeps him on top of the charts.

3. Owen Daniels, Houston Texans
Daniels snapped out of a little funk to catch nine of 11 targets for 91 yards in the Wild Card Round. I expect anothe...

Las Vegas odds makers learned their lesson from the Patriots-Texans matchup earlier in the season.
When New England and Houston matched up in Foxboro in Week 14, the Patriots were just 5.5-point favorites before beating the Texans 42-14. This week, the Patriots are 9.5-point favorites over Houston, but is that enough?
Since New England embarrassed the Texans on Dec. 9, the Patriots...

The New England Patriots defense has thrived on takeaways. Their +25 turnover ratio towers over the +12 ratio of the Houston Texans.
