- Everyone is looking to rookie receiver Kelvin Benjamin to become the top target for Cam Newton in the Panthers passing game, but don't count out Greg Olsen. The veteran tight end has racked up over 800 yards in each of the last two seasons and could get off to a strong start in a matchup with Tampa Bay.
- Zach Ertz is about to become a household name. Fantasy players should already know about the Eagles' athletic tight end, but he will officially announce his presence with a big game in Week 1 against Jacksonville.
- Ladarius Green received a lot of hype in the offseason, but Antonio Gates isn't stepping aside yet. This will be a frustrating situation for fantasy owners and it will start this week in Arizona.
- If you're desperate, the tight ends with the best chance of significantly outproducing their current rankings are: Dwayne Allen, Richard Rodgers, and Tim Wright.
