Tight End

Chalk

If you want to spend up for elite tight end options George Kittle ($7,400) or Rob Gronkowski (a very Gronk-esque $6,900), feel free to do so. But the tier just below this group has plenty of viable options for Week 15 lineups.

Eric Ebron has been a touchdown-scoring machine, and he has posted double-digit FanDuel points in five of his last six games. He is sure to be a popular play at only $6,500, especially considering his 11.2-point projection.

Jared Cook faces a tasty matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, who have allowed the third-most FanDuel points to the position (13.0). At $6,300, Cook should be chalky as well.

Finally, peep salary-saver Cameron Brate -- he's only $5,400, he scored twice last week and now has three scores since assuming lead duties. He should also see heavy investment.

Pivot

Evan Engram, New York Giants: $5,200 (vs Tennessee Titans)

Despite a rollercoaster of a 2018 season, DFS players should keep a look out on Evan Engram this weekend against the Tennessee Titans.

With the Giants surprise victors of four of their last five games, and averaging a robust 31.4 points per game over that time span, Engram takes aim at a Titans defense that clocks in 22nd against the pass. With teammate Odell Beckham out for this week's contest, check out Engram's production with the star receiver in and out of the lineup over the last two years:


We have Engram slated for 7.4 FanDuel points, but with some serious upside; in tournament formats, that could swell up to 16.0 FanDuel points. Engram's volatile production has been tough to roster this year, but as Bekcham sits, he could make for a really interesting pivot.
