George Kittle, TE, San Francisco 49ers

Price: $4,900

When you're really punting tight end, getting down into that sub-$5,000 range, the thing you're looking for is touchdown potential -- especially on FanDuel, where you're only getting half a point per reception.

Admittedly, the 49ers aren't likely to score a ton of points as huge underdogs against the Eagles, but George Kittle's red zone workload gives him a great shot to be one of the few players to put some points on the board for San Fran.

Kittle ranks second in the NFL in red zone targets (7) over the past three weeks, accounting for exactly half of the 49ers' total in that stretch.

The Niners have also been one of the league's more pass-heavy teams inside the 20. They rank 12th in red zone pass-to-run ratio and have called more runs than passes in the red zone in only one game -- making Kittle's hefty market share especially appealing.
