Greg Olsen is back folks and is now on my tight end trust list. Look for him to continue his streak this week against the Bucs who have brought back Fitz-Magic to air it out deep, often. Carolina will look to put up points early and I suspect D.J Moore and Olsen will be a big part of that in the first half. If Tampa can keep pace look for Oslen to surpass his current rank of 6th. How about we take a peak at my personal cheat sheet I use week to week to not only set my lineups but to help our members in the forum.
As you can see, spotting the juicy match-ups is just to easy. With all these bye-weeks here are some names you might want to consider: B. Watson and H. Hurst. Watson has been erratic with his fantasy production but I think the Saints will lean on Watson more than normal here (look at the sheet). Now Hurst is a rookie and only has one good game which came last week. He has a great matchup on paper this week and is more than likely on your waiver wire. Now both of these guys are outside of my top 12 but have the upside to finish week 9 in the top 10 based on match-up alone.
