Tight End

Chalk:

Tight end is very gross on this small slate, and it's hard to tell who FanDuel players are going to hone in on. Jimmy Graham and Delanie Walker both find themselves in good spots, but have seen their usage cut into some recently by Doug Baldwin and Rishard Matthews. If not punting the position, many players will likely look the way of Graham or Walker.

Pivot:

Greg Olsen, $7,000 (at Oakland Raiders): Greg Olsen finds himself in a similar situation as the previously mentioned tight ends -- he has a great matchup, but he's seen his usage and production drop off in recent weeks. He is more expensive than both Graham and Walker, though, and the Panthers have a lower implied team total than both the Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans, so he'll likely go overlooked by comparison.

The Raiders are fresh off of allowing 10 catches for 128 yards to Houston's tight ends on Monday Night Football and have allowed the eighth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing tight ends this season. Even in a down year for Cam and the Panthers, Olsen has shown big-time upside, topping 18 FanDuel points three times. If taking a chance on this gross slate of tight ends, it makes the most sense to do so with a high-variance option like Olsen in a plus-matchup.
