On a DYAR basis, Jason Witten is ranked as the #4 TE so far this season.
Long story short, don't doubt the all-time greats. If he keeps this up, he easily has another season or two to go.
Tight ends are ranked according to DYAR, or Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement. This gives the value of the performance on plays where this TE caught the ball, compared to a replacement-level TE in the same game situations and then translated into yardage. DYAR (and its cousin, YAR, which isn't adjusted based on opponent) is further explained here.
