2. Greg Olsen (Carolina) vs. New Orleans

We expected Olsen to be a lot more productive than he has to this point in 2015, but he’s still the most talented receiver Cam Newton has on his team. The 6 catches for 70 yards that Olsen had in Week 2 should be around the production Olsen puts up every week, the question will be whether or not he can find his way into the end zone.

That seems fairly likely as the Panthers have a home game against a struggling New Orleans Saints team that gave up a huge fantasy day to Arizona tight end Darren Fells in Week 1. The targets that Olsen receives every week should give him one of the highest floors in the league, and if he can find the end zone he will be a great fantasy play.

1. Rob Gronkowski (New England) vs. Jacksonville

Why? See: rankings from Weeks 1 & 2.

We may be watching the most athletic tight end to ever play the game, playing with one of the league’s all-time greatest quarterbacks. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show. If you’ve got Gronk on your team, you’re starting him every week, and he may be the most consistently productive player you’ve got. Rob Gronkowski is the definition of matchup-proof, as it simply does not matter who he is playing, he will always be at the top of these rankings.
