START ‘EM – TE

. Tight End. Carolina Panthers. Greg Olsen. 88. player. 87

It might be risky to start Greg Olsen this week, as he’s been quite the rollercoaster in 2019, but the match-up is there this weekend. The Titans have been pretty lousy against tight ends this year and Olsen is due for a big game, right?

Also – Four teams are on a bye this week and that makes a thin position even more thin. Give Greg Olsen a chance!

It’s been a rough rookie season for Broncos tight end Noah Fant and I wouldn’t recommend throwing him out there this week. The Broncos host the Browns, who despite their struggles, have been good on defense.

The biggest reason to fade Fant the weekend, however, is that the Broncos are starting a quarterback who very few people have heard of. Considering Fant couldn’t make the most of his opportunities last week without Emmanuel Sanders, I wouldn’t count on him to do much this week against a tougher defense and with a third string quarterback throwing the ball.
