1.Evan Engram New York Giants @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
This season the most reliable offensive threat that the Giants have except for Saquon Barkley has been Evan Engram. That should continue this week as the Giants have a rookie QB starting and a good TE is a rookies best friend as he offers quick easy passes. The Buccaneers have given up an average of 15.20 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 26th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
2.Greg Olsen Carolina Panthers @ Arizona Cardinals
This week it looks like the Panthers will most likely be without starting QB Cam Newton. This may actually help Olsen as Kyle Allen will look for Olsen in the passing game a lot as he is the most reliable target in the passing game. The Cardinals have given up an average of 31.15 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 32nd ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Bench 'EM
1.Patriots TEs vs New York Jets
For 9 years the Patriots had arguably the best TE in fantasy but this season their TE group has been a barren wasteland for fantasy points. With how many weapons the Patriots have on offense the TE is almost an afterthought in the offense. The Jets have given up an average of 4.00 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 3rd ranked defense at defending the TE position.
2.Tyler Eifert Cincinnati Bengals @ Buffalo Bills
Last week versus the 49ers Eifert found the end zone but he had only 3 receptions for 9 yards. This makes him highly touchdown dependent as without the touchdown reception he would have had less than 1 point. The Bills have given up an average of 8.30 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 10th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
