Tight Ends for NFL Week 2 - Fanduel

Fanduel Plays of the Week: Tight Ends

Jared Cook Beast Mode.

Tight ends can be the toughest position to project. There are few if any guaranteed studs. Graham is one, but even he can have a down week. This is the ultimate upside vs. price position. Choose wisely and choose bravely.

Jared Cook - $6,300
Who would have expected that St. Louis's tight end would end up the highest scoring Fanduel tight end in week one? I didn't, but I'm on board now and he can still be had for cheap, relatively speaking.

You could go for fancier names like Witten and Graham and be all but assured a nice return on investment, but for my money (less of it by $1,500 for Graham and $500 for Witten) I'm going Cook. Bradford likes him, and the Rams will need to throw the ball a lot to keep up with Atlanta.

Projections: 65 receiving yards and 1 TD.

Greg Olsen - $6,100
Week one saw Olsen and the entire Carolina Panther's offense struggle. But that was the Seahawks. This week they have the Bills.

Last year Olsen was well on his way to being a solid TE and Cam Newton will do his darnedest to ensure that trend continues a steady uphill climb. He may not light it up like Julius Thomas did last week, but he is a safe and valuable Fanduel play this week.

Projections: 60 receiving yards and 1 TD.

Zach Miller - $4,800
Last week the Seahawks played Carolina and the game was a low scoring slogfest of an affair. This week Seattle plays at home against the high scoring 49ers.

If Russell Wilson hopes to keep up with his Madden commercial buddy Colin Kaepernick, and throw Anthony Dixon's (who??) "She-Hawks comment back in his face he will make big use of TE Zach Miller. Expect Miller to be used as a frequent safety valve and have some real nice upside in Fanduel leagues.

Projections: 55 Receiving yards and 1 TD.

Other Solid Options: Jordan Cameron and Julius Thomas at $6,300 apiece and Owen Daniels at $6,000.
