This is the fourth post about the All Day Football Fantasy Guide to the 2009-2010 Season. Next up for you we've got the grunt of your fantasy team which is a solid outlet for QBs young and old, the old fashioned tight end. Tight ends aren't the statistical giants of your fantasy team but they can help you in a pinch especially if your team has a young qb or nothing else to throw to so ADF is going to help you in your drafts because tight end is such a tough position to rank so here is our top 10 list for TEs.

Combine: Where Careers Begin... Sometimes

For a few hundred lucky football players each year, the NFL Scouting Combine is the jumping off point for great careers on Sundays, unfortunately, sometimes it's as far as some athletes will go and that's the case for Brian Mandeville, TE from Northeastern.

NFL.com reports the following:

"Northeastern TE Brian Mandeville left the NFL Scouting Combine last week after doctors conducting a routine physical exam discovered that he has a non-life-threatening heart abnormality, the Boston Globe reported.

The doctors advised Mandeville that he shouldn’t play football because of an abnormal heart valve, according to the player’s agent, Ryan Tollner."

It's a real shame for Mandeville who was hoping to perform at the Combine and increase his draft stock so that he might be drafted but unfortunately his potential NFL career was cut short. Luckily for him, the condition is not life threatening and All Day Football wishes him the best in the future.

There were a wealth of players who did not get invites to the combine and here are some of those players who's absence surprised me in light of the fact of some of the higher ranked guys (read Matt Stafford and Andre Smith) not choosing to work out... or in some cases show up would have given these guys an opportunity to shine. Without further delay, here's the All Snub Team Offense!
