Must Start

Delanie Walker vs. Atlanta ($4,700): Walker is a top DFS option whenever he is healthy. He is constantly a cheap option for some reason and has recorded double digit points three out of the five games ha has played this week. Mettenberger used Walker as a security blanket last yeae and this week against an Atlanta defense who allows the seventh most points to TE’s is even more of an incentive to play him. Walker is in most of my lineups and he should be expected to haul in around 7-10 passes this week.

Bust

Greg Olsen vs. Philadelphia ($6,250): Do not play Olsen against an athletic Eagles defense who covers the Tight End extremely well. Newton should struggle this week and as one of the more expensive options this week Olsen is simply not worth the risk. I would take Walker, Barnidge, Witten and Jordan Reed if he plays all over Olsen. It is a bad match up that I do not want any part of.

Sleeper

Jordan Reed vs. Tampa Bay ($4,800): Before getting injured against Philly Reed scored double-digit points in the three previous games before that. When he is healthy and in the lineup he gets targets and points. This is a situation to monitor, Reed gained final clearance for his concussion so he should be ready to roll. Reed is a match up nightmare and Cousins loves to get him involved. Reed is another cheap option that needs to be considered if he is playing. Tampa Bay is one of the best against the Tight End but they have not gone against a flex Tight End/Wide Receiver like Reed. Their only TD allowed to Tight Ends was against Delanie Walker who is used the same as Reed is in Washington.
