8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 5
Greg Olsen leads tight ends in targets, receiving yards, and FanDuel points, and he has a nice matchup with Tampa Bay.

Greg Olsen, TE, Carolina Panthers

FanDuel Price: $8,000

Projected Points: 12.5

Greg Olsen leads all tight ends this season in targets (40), receiving yards (335), and FanDuel points (59.5). He has hauled in at least 5 receptions with 60 receiving yards in each game this season.

He has been targeted 10 more times than any of his teammates this season, and Olsen leads all tight ends with 25.97% of his team’s targets. He is also fourth among all tight ends with 31.25% of his team’s red zone targets.

In Week 5, he will be up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have allowed the third-fewest FanDuel points to opposing tight ends. But a closer look reveals that they haven’t faced any tight ends near Olsen’s production this season. Jacob Tamme is the only tight end they have faced who is among the top 24 in FanDuel points at the position, and Tamme actually hit his season-high reception mark against them.
