1.Austin Hooper Atlanta Falcons @ Arizona Cardinals
This season the Falcons have been in high scoring games and that should continue as they face the Cardinals who are bad on defense. They are especially bad against TEs this season as they have given up big games to every TE they have faced. The Cardinals have given up an average of 22.63 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 32nd ranked defense at defending the TE position.
2.Greg Olsen Carolina Panthers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
When the Panthers and Buccaneers meet in week 2 Olsen had his best game of the season by a receiving yards standpoint. Last week the Bucs allowed the Saints Jared Cook ,who had not done anything this season, to have his best game of the year. The Buccaneers have given up an average of 21.53 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 31st ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Bench 'EM
1.O.J. Howard Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Carolina Panthers
This season Howard has been one of the biggest disappointments this seasons as he was drafted as a top 5 TE. He is not that involved in the pass game as he has not had more than 4 catches in a game this season. The Panthers have given up an average of 5.58 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 2nd ranked defense at defending the TE position.
2.Evan Engram New York Giants @ New England Patriots
This week Evan Engram is expected to miss the game with a knee injury. That may not be all that bad as the Giants are going up against the tough Patriots defense on Thursday night on the road. The Patriots have given up only 2 offensive touchdown to opposing offensives this season. The Patriots have given up an average of 5.28 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 1st ranked defense at defending the TE position.
