Tight End
Julius Thomas, IND (62%, 9) – Only had 5 targets last week, but did score a TD for the 3rd straight game. This should be a high scoring match-up and I could see Thomas having a massive fantasy line.
Gary Barnidge, SF (61%, 9) – Has averaged 9 targets per game over the last three and should continue to be a primary target in the Browns passing game even if Manziel is at QB. The Browns just don’t have enough receiving options to not involve Barnidge in the passing game.
Scott Chandler, @HOU (60%, 6) – With Gronk out for at least another week, Chandler will take over as the Patriots #1 TE and has averaged 9 targets and 1 TD in the two games since taking over as the lead tight end. Chandler should see a decent amount of looks again this week and is worth a start.
Tyler Eifert, @PIT (44%, 9) – In what should be a high scoring game between the Bengals and Steelers, Eifert should be in all lineups this week. It’s crazy that he’s only being started in less than 50% of leagues.
