If you’re in the daily fantasy sports (DFS) game, you need as many tools as possible to help set your lineup. Sure, there are some things you’ll disagree with, but not acknowledging stats or information is usually a mistake. FanDuel has acquired NumberFire to help on some projections for NFL players for each week to give you another tool to help.
FanDuel daily fantasy projections, Week 11: Tight ends
Greg Olsen had a nice week his last time around, so he’s not a bad fantasy play for those bold enough to go away from Rob Gronkowski.

Here are the fantasy projections for Week 11:
Top tier
Rob Gronkowski is the top projected guy, which is the case every week. He's not quite a great bargain unlike some previous weeks, though. He had a good game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2 with 113 yards, seven catches and one touchdown, so he's obviously still an option if you can save money elsewhere. Greg Olsen is the No. 2 guy and is $2,000 cheaper than Gronk.
Bargains
There aren't many big bargains, but using Jordan Reed when he's healthy isn't a bad idea. Martellus Bennett is in play at $5,200 and should be targeted quite a bit. The Broncos will have Alshon Jeffery covered, so there's a nice opportunity for him.
Elite players with subpar matchups
Gronk has a good matchup based on his previous game with the Bills, so he doesn’t have a subpar matchup, even though the Bills are the ninth-toughest matchup for tight ends on the season.
