TIGHT END

Kyle Rudolph ($5000) Vikings vs. Lions – We are seeing a trend week in and week out with this Lions defense. CJ Fiedorowicz is just another in a long line of TE’s that have scored against this weak Lions D. Like I said above, I think the Vikings will come out with some new looks this week with their new offensive coordinator and get their most skilled players heavily involved. Rudolph has been a favorite of Sam Bradford all season and I think he can easily exploit these Lions linebackers. He may even score twice this weekend.

Travis Kelce ($6600) Chiefs @ Jaguars – Kelce has had a very quiet season up until last week’s breakout performance against the Colts. This week he will see a similarly bad defense in Jacksonville and could continue his hot streak. Much like I said prior to last week, he is much too talented to continue to have minimal involvement in the Chiefs attack. With their running back crew banged up and iffy for this week, I think Nick Foles may throw a number of short passes that Kelce will have the chance to break for some huge gains.

Others I Like – Gary Barnidge ($5200), Antonio Gates ($5500)
