Delanie Walker, TE, Tennessee Titans

Week 14: Denver (8th least points allowed to opposing tight ends)

Week 15: Kansas City (3rd)

Week 16: Jacksonville (5th)

Another fantasy stud who is going to see some tough matchups come fantasy playoff time is Titans tight end Delanie Walker. Walker currently ranks fourth among tight ends in points scored, but all three of his playoff matchups are rough.

Walker faces three defenses which rank in the top 10 against tight ends over the next three weeks, led by a really tough matchup with the Chiefs in Week 15. Kansas City has allowed a paltry 5.1 points per game to opposing tight ends this year.

While Marcus Mariota has turned into a stud quarterback, Walker has only seen 10 total targets over the last two games.

He's difficult to sit, but at a streamable position like tight end, it's at least worth combing through the waiver wire to see what's out there.
