8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 10
Tom Brady's matchup against the Seahawks isn't as bad as it might seem. Who else is worth a heavy investment?

Greg Olsen, TE, Carolina Panthers

FanDuel Price: $7,200
Projected Points: 12.4

Like all other tight ends, Greg Olsen hasn't been able to match the ridiculous numbers that Gronkowski has put up over the past four weeks, but he has been the second-best fantasy tight end this season. He is averaging 10.9 FanDuel points per game and trails only Jordan Reed with 8.75 targets per game.

He is in a similar situation to that of Gronkowski, in that the Kansas City Chiefs have been stout against tight ends this season. They have only given up 1 touchdown to an opposing tight end all year, have held all tight ends under 4 receptions, and haven't allowed any of them to hit the 50-yard receiving mark. However, no opposing tight end has been targeted more than four times against them.

Olsen leads all tight ends with 24.39% of his team's targets and has surpassed 70 receiving yards in five of eight games this season, while adding 3 total touchdowns. He has only been held under 9 FanDuel points one time all season and has shown a high ceiling with two games over 20 FanDuel points.
