Tight End

Chalk:

Everyone is back on the Rob Gronkowski train after seeing him pile up 271 receiving yards over the past two weeks. Against Pittsburgh's struggling pass defense, Gronk should be a popular option this week.

Pivot:

Julius Thomas, $5,500 vs Oakland Raiders - If you're on board with the Blake Bortles bounce-back, perhaps I can interest you in a mega-stack involving Bortles, Robinson, and Julius Thomas? Jacksonville offensive coordinator Greg Olson said they want to get Thomas more involved going forward, and what better spot to do it in than this week against Oakland?

Oakland's struggles in the secondary have not been restricted to just receivers, as they have allowed the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to opposing tight ends, after allowing the third-most FanDuel points to the position last season. Thomas' struggles over the past few games make him nothing more than a GPP play, but the matchup gives him enough upside to make him worth a look in tournaments.
