Tight End

Chalk:

As usual, tight end should be top- and bottom-heavy this week on FanDuel. Rob Gronkowski will probably see decent ownership, but I'd expect Jimmy Graham -- in a revenge game against a bad defense -- to out-own Gronk. At the bottom of the list, you've got C.J. Fiedorowicz, who's seen about 18% of Houston's targets over the last three weeks, and Jack Doyle, who's coming off a big performance. (Don't chase the Doyle points, though.)

Pivots:

Gary Barnidge, $5,000 (vs. New York Jets): I'm not sure if Josh McCown is best friends with Gary Barnidge, but they sure seem that way on a football field. Since the start of the 2015 season, when McCown's been under center, Barnidge has averaged 1.72 more targets, 1.3 more receptions, and 0.46 more touchdowns per game. That's all equated to about five more fantasy points per contest with McCown throwing him the rock.

That's what he'll probably get this weekend against the Jets -- he'll have Josh McCown. And with Terrelle Pryor banged up and the Jets surrendering the 12th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season, Barnidge makes for a strong pivot away from the lower-priced players.
