Robert Tonyan, TE (PIT)

Quiet in season opener

Tonyan was targeted four times and caught two passes for eight yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints.

Tonyan was the clear-cut top tight end for the Packers in Week 1, but he saw only a few passes thrown his direction, and with his team pulling the bulk of its starters early, he was on the field for only 49 percent of offensive plays. He did a lot of damage in the red zone last season, but the Packers rarely crossed midfield Sunday, which further limited his opportunities. Some fantasy players may cut ties with Tonyan after his Week 1 dud, but don't forget he scored 11 touchdowns over 15 games after being shut out in last season's opener.
