TIGHT END
Greg Olsen ($6600) Panthers @ Saints – The Raiders have been the team that I have targeted with my tight end plays most of this season, however the Saints have finally taken over as the worst team in the league allowing points to the position. Olsen also becomes the default #1 tight end in football as both Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham will not play this weekend. Much has been made about the Panthers missing dynamic receivers which isn’t totally fair as Olsen is supremely talented and underrated. He produces week in and week out and I would be surprised if he doesn’t find the end zone this week.
Travis Kelce ($6200) Cheifs @ Raiders – Kelce had his streak of 5 catches end last Sunday at 5 games but still was able to top 60 yards and find the end zone. He has been a consistent safety blanket for Alex Smith all year and has started to find the end zone again after a mid-season drought. I will target those Raiders one more time as they still sit 2nd worst in the NFL in points allowed to tight ends. Kelce is a dynamic threat and will pose threats for the Raiders.
