Eric Ebron, TE, Indianapolis Colts

DraftKings Price: $4,200
Projected Points: 12.8

The Indianapolis Colts have a difficult matchup on the road against the vaunted secondary of the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the Colts are 4.0-point favorites and are implied to score 25.75 points. There seems to be a decent reason to attack the Jaguars in this matchup.

While the defensive backs for the Jags are the strength and do a pretty good job at limiting damage on the outside, teams have elected to attack them at the tight end position and through running backs coming out of the backfield. This suits Eric Ebron very well.

Ebron should be quite chalky on DraftKings just due to his cheap price tag in the absence of Jack Doyle (kidney). He has averaged 16.5 points per game over the last four games, which is actually a 1.7 point increase over his season-long average of 14.8 points. Ebron has a massive 0.53 points per snap rate, which is the highest at the position. In fact, the second-ranked tight end, Travis Kelce, is a full tenth of a point behind him (0.43, and the third place tight end, Jared Cook, has just a 0.30 point per snap rate.

Whether or not he's a "stud", he -- like Cooks -- is producing like one. The tight end position is incredibly volatile, so there's no reason to pay up at the position in Week 13.
