Week 3 FanDuel NFL Tournament Pivots
Allen Robinson has struggled to start the season but has elite upside in this week's matchup and will go overlooked with others focusing on Antonio Brown.

Tight End

Chalk:

Dennis Pitta, $5,000 at Jacksonville Jaguars - Dennis Pitta is coming off of a monster week (9 catches on 12 targets for 102 yards) and appears set as Flacco's top option going forward. As just the 22nd-most expensive tight end on FanDuel, Pitta is likely to catch on as a popular daily fantasy value play this week after being one of the hottest commodities on the waiver wire this week.

Pivots:

Clive Walford, $5,000 at Tennessee Titans - Listed at an identical price tag to Pitta, Clive Walford comes in as a direct pivot. Walford was targeted on 15 percent of his snaps last week, which was higher than any other Oakland Raiders pass-catcher. He finished the day with 6 catches for 50 yards and a touchdown.

The former third-round pick appears ready to take on an expanded role in Oakland's pass-heavy offense and gets a Tennessee Titans defense this week that has struggled against tight ends. Tennessee ranked in the bottom-five in fantasy points allowed to tight ends in 2015 and has allowed Kyle Rudolph and Eric Ebron to combine for 8 catches for 118 yards so far this season.

Oakland's modest 22.5-point implied team total likely relegates Walford to tournament-only status, but his upside gives him plenty of appeal there.
