Start: Eric Ebron, Indianapolis Colts

@ Oakland Raiders

It has been tough to find a reliable tight end to put into your fantasy football lineup. However, Eric Ebron has emerged as one of the better options. He has been a major part of the Indianapolis Colts game plan and that trend should continue.

Ebron’s fantasy production is directly tied to his touchdown output. He already his six touchdown receptions on the season.

Andrew Luck looks Ebron’s way often when in the red zone. His targets in that part of the field will continue to grow as the two build chemistry. Those targets are why I’m bullish on Ebron’s continued fantasy success.

Sit: Jordan Reed, Washington Redskins

@ New York Giants

Yes, Jordan Reed is the Washington Redskins leading receiver and one of their more dangerous weapons. The big problem is that the Redskins just aren’t scoring a ton of points. This is a team that looks to control the clock and slow the pace of the game.

Reed himself hasn’t looked like himself. He has dealt with some drop issues and hasn’t created consistent separation. Even more worrisome is the fact that he has only one touch down on the season.
