Week 15 FanDuel NFL Tournament Pivots

Tight End

Chalk

Chalk starts and ends with Rob Gronkowski this week. He will be looking to wreak havoc after his one-game (should have been more) suspension, and the Steelers should fear him.

In his five career games against Pittsburgh, Gronk has eight touchdowns. He has 93 or more receiving yards in four of those games, has scored at least 24 points in three of those games, and has scored a minimum of 12.9 points. Couple this history with the angry Brady narrative, and this could be a massive day.

His ownership could be higher than any other player's on the slate. If you are pivoting this week in tournaments at tight end, you are pivoting away from Gronk and doing so at your own peril.

Pivot

Greg Olsen, $5,600 (vs. Green Bay Packers)

Greg Olsen came into this season as a hot commodity. He had three straight 1,000-yard seasons, and expectations were high. Unfortunately, he's had to deal with injuries, and his performances have suffered when he's been able to make it onto the field. The Panthers are hoping to change that this week, and there is good reason for optimism, as Olsen finally looks at or close to 100% again.

The Packers have actually been a tough matchup against tight ends this season. They rank second against the position, allowing more than three catches only twice this season. That said, good players find a way to exploit weaknesses, and Cam Newton will no doubt be itching to get the ball to his best receiving option.

Olsen's $5,600 price tag is his lowest salary since Week 17 of 2013 when he was $5,400. You may not have the opportunity to get him in your lineup at this price again, so if you're going to pivot away from Gronk, why not take a chance on another top-five tight end who has fallen on hard times?
