Tight Ends

High-Cost Option: Greg Olsen ($6,000)

If I'm paying up for a tight end this week, it's going to be for Greg Olsen who's in a fantastic matchup with the Falcons. Atlanta is giving up the most fantasy points, second-most touchdowns, and third-most receiving yards to opposing tight ends. They also rank fourth-worst against the position according to FootballOutsiders. With Desmond Trufant likely giving Kelvin Benjamin trouble on the outside, Newton should look Olsen's way regularly in this matchup.

Mid-Cost Option: Dennis Pitta ($3,900)

If you haven't used Dennis Pitta yet in DFS, I implore you to reconsider before his price rises into the "High-Cost Option" category. Pitta, currently averaging 10 targets and 16.2 fantasy points over the past two weeks, has been just about the only constant on this Ravens offense. The Raiders allowed the most touchdowns to opposing tight ends last season and are off to another poor start, currently giving up the ninth-most fantasy points to the position. They are the third-best matchup per numberFire's metrics.

Low-Cost Option: Zach Miller ($2,700)

Even worse than the Raiders against the tight end position are the Detroit Lions. Detroit tied Oakland for the most touchdowns allowed last season, and the Lions are currently holding that dubious honor once again in 2016. Brian Hoyer targeted Zach Miller nine times last week, with Miller hauling in eight of them to finish as last week's top NEP performer. With DraftKings pricing coming out before the Sunday night games finished, we're getting Miller at an incredible discount at just $2,700. Miller is a fine play in both cash and tournaments this week.

Other Options: Travis Kelce ($4,800), Coby Fleener ($3,200), Hunter Henry ($2,700)
