Tight End

Chalk:

Greg Olsen, $8,100 at New Orleans Saints - Greg Olsen has done nothing but dominate this season and is set to be the mega-chalk in a matchup against the New Orleans Saints. If pivoting off of Olsen, Delanie Walker will likely be the most popular option against a Cleveland Browns defense that has given up 257 yards and 5 touchdowns to opposing tight ends over the past two weeks.

Pivots:

Jimmy Graham, $6,900 vs Atlanta Falcons - Jimmy Graham isn't going to fly under the radar after back-to-back games with at least 100 yards, but he should end up the lowest-owned of the elite options this week. While his matchup likely won't be talked about as much as Olsen's or Walker's, Graham finds himself in an equally exciting spot against the Atlanta Falcons. Prior to last week's contest against the essentially tight end-less Denver Broncos, Atlanta had given up an average line of 85 yards and 1.3 touchdowns to opposing tight ends.

Graham started the season slow, while working his way back from injury, but he has been Russell Wilson's top target since Week 2. During that span, Graham has averaged 8.5 targets, while accounting for a 31 percent market share of Wilson's pass attempts. If he continues to see that much volume against Atlanta's defense, he may end up being the highest-scoring tight end on the entire slate.
