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 15: Tight ends
Greg Olsen and Rob Gronkowski are atop the fantasy projections for this week.

Here are the fantasy projections for Week 15:
Top tier
Hey, Rob Gronkowski isn't questionable to play this week, so he's back to the top of the projections. He doesn't have a good matchup this week against the Tennessee Titans, who have fared very well against tight ends in each of their last three games. Greg Olsen gets a great matchup against the New York Giants, who are the No. 2 matchup for tight ends. He'll be a popular target this week.
Bargains
Benjamin Watson should have a good game this week against the Detroit Lions, who are dead last in defending tight ends this week. His almost $3K cheaper than Gronk, so he's a really nice option. Antonio Gates is worth a look against the Miami Dolphins, too.
Elite players with subpar matchups
This isn't a bad week to use Gronk, but his matchup is slightly sub-par. Jordan Reed is coming off a big week, but he's not a great option this week.
