Tight End: Eric Ebron

Eric Ebron is becoming a big-time and comfortable target for Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, and this weekend that duo will be facing the Buffalo Bills. ESPN has Ebron ranked as the third-best tight end option for fantasy football, and Ebron could easily be the top tight end this weekend once the games are complete.

In three games this season, Ebron has been targeted 10-plus times, and in the past three games played the Colts tight end has caught at least one touchdown pass, including two against the New England Patriots on Oct. 4.

Ebron and the Colts take advantage of the defensive matchups given to them, including last Sunday when the Colts faced the New York Jets and Ebron totaled four receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown.

As for Buffalo, their defense is allowing 219 passing yards per game, and with the Colts’ Ebron averaging 54 yards per game receiving this should be a nice matchup opportunity for the Colts and their tight end, as Ebron is becoming a viable choice at tight end each week with Luck as his quarterback.
