Week 4 NFL FanDuel Tournament Pivots
Despite leading the NFL in rushing, LeGarratte Blount is likely to go overlooked with Melvin Gordon priced similarly this weekend.

Tight End

Chalk:

Hunter Henry, $4,500 vs New Orleans Saints - Hunter Henry is the starting tight end for an offense that is starving for talented pass-catchers. At minimum price against the worst defense in the league, he is sure to be chalky this week.

Pivots:

Zach Miller, $5,000 vs Detroit Lions - For just $500 more on FanDuel, you can get Zach Miller, who actually has a better matchup and has proven that he can be successful at the NFL level. Miller was targeted nine times by new starting quarterback Brian Hoyer last week and ended the day with more Week 3 FanDuel points than any other tight end. In Week 4, he draws the Detroit Lions defense that's been giving up touchdowns to tight ends like it's their job. Since the start of 2015, no defense has given up as many touchdowns to tight ends as Detroit, who have allowed 17 touchdowns in 19 games during that span.

Miller leads Chicago in red zone targets this season and should be featured in the red zone again this week. With Alshon Jeffery reportedly dealing with multiple injuries, Miller could end up seeing an even larger workload than anticipated in a game that Chicago will likely be playing from behind in. He has similar upside to Henry and won't see near the ownership, just because he's not quite minimum-priced.
