Ladarius Green ($5,100)

Ladarius Green has definitely seen his role decrease with the return of Antonio Gates, but he hasn't quite been forgotten in San Diego. Green has actually played one more snap than Gates over the last two games, and half of his red zone targets this season have come in that span.

The Oakland Raiders have been truly awful against tight ends this year, giving up a league-high 17.6 fantasy points (with 0.5 PPR scoring) per week to opposing tight ends, even after the Denver tight ends dropped a collective goose egg in Week 5. Over the four-game stretch leading up to that, the Raiders had given up 8 receptions, 97 yards and 1.5 touchdowns per game to tight ends.

Green isn't the safest play of the week, and I wouldn't roll him out in cash game lineups, but he's been one of the most efficient tight ends in the league this season, ranking third in Reception NEP per target (minimum 20 targets), and with the most favorable matchup possible he has undeniable upside.
