Play ‘Em
Jordan Akins
Houston Texans vs
Baltimore Ravens
With the Texans trade of WR DeAndre Hopkins it has freed up plenty of targets in the passing game. Akins is getting the red zone targets from QB Deshaun Watson which is good as it shows that he trust Akins when they get close. The Ravens have given up an average of 19 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 28th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Eric Ebron
Pittsburgh Steelers vs
Denver Broncos
This season the Steelers could use Eric Ebron as a mismatch chess piece according to beat writer Nick Farabaugh. That is good as when he was used similarly like this with the Colts he had a Pro Bowl season. The Broncos have given up an average of 23.20 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 30th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Bench ‘Em
Rob Gronkowski
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Carolina Panthers
Last week Gronk returned from a year away from football and it showed in his play. He had only 2 receptions and in those 2 receptions he looked like he may have lost a step. Gronk also was out targeted by fellow TE O.J. Howard which is not good for Gronk. The Panthers have given up an average of 11.70 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 17th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
T.J. Hockenson
Detroit Lions @
Green Bay Packers
Since Hochenson was a first round pick out of Iowa he has not had many big games. Last week Hockenson had a great opportunity to have a big game as Kenny Golladay was out. This week Golladay has a chance to play which means Hockenson will not have as many opportunities to make plays. The Packers have given up an average of 6.90 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 11th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
