NFL Week 7 DFS: Tight Ends

Just like that and we are already in NFL Week 7. We have had a good run on tight ends and hope to continue providing value each week in my NFL DFS Tight Ends article. Tight ends are sometimes forgotten and left to the last pick in your lineup and that can easily leave you with an outcome of 0-2 points. This could be devastating for your chances of a takedown or simply cashing. Each week I will lay out my favorite options up top and the best value plays on the board as well. Once you’re done reading this article make sure to hop in our expert chat on Discord to stay up to date with lineup discussions.

Let’s dive in to this NFL Week 7 slate and talk some DFS Tight Ends!

TRAVIS KELCE, KC $7,600 DRAFTKINGS, $8,200 FANDUEL

This is a pay up week for tight ends. The low end is dicey and with the 3 expensive tight ends being in great spots, I don’t want to take to many shots on cheap tight ends. I can see 3 top end tight ends put up 20+ points in Week 7, so lets start with the best one in Kelce. The over in this game has pushed up to 57.5 and has been climbing since the week started. The Chiefs are in a great spot and are projected to put up 31.5 points. Listen we know how good this offense is and the Titans defense can be exposed through the passing game. The Titans are allowing 276 passing yards and 384 total yards per game. Looking back at the past 3 games the Titans have allowed 31, 19, and even 27 points to the Jets. Kelce has somewhat disappointed us the past 3 weeks putting up 6, 17, and 17 which I hope that bring downs his ownership. It’s still early as I’m writing this on Wednesday morning, but he is currently sitting at only 14% ownership which is a nice number to get Kelce at. I will be locking in shares of each of the tight ends listed in this article and I will be over the field in Week 7 on Kelce.

DARREN WALLER, LV $6,700 DRAFTKINGS, $6,800 FANDUEL

The Eagles secondary instills zero fear in me and probably less in Waller’s mind. Waller has been rather stagnant since his Week 1 outburst of 29.5 points. People have long forgotten about Waller and we may see sub 10% ownership on him in Week 7. Waller finds a great spot against the Eagles who currently rank 22nd versus the tight end position. The Eagles defense has shown strives but they have been exposed by the Bucs, Chiefs, and the Cowboys and I believe Carr and Waller are playing inspired ball since the departure of Gruden. Waller is currently sitting as the second highest projected player in our optimizer projections and I will take the discount on Kelce in spots. For every 2 shares of Kelce, I will have one share of Waller in Week 7.

MARK ANDREWS, BAL $6,000 DRAFTKINGS, $5,900 FANDUEL

Mark Andrews is coming off a monster Week 5 and nice performance in Week 6 as well. Andrews had 11 receptions on 13 targets and rumbled for 147 yards receiving with 2 touchdowns in Week 5 and followed that up with a 17 point performance in Week 6. We have a total of 47 with Baltimore favored by 6, so this game should be high scoring and close through 4 quarters if Vegas has this game projected correctly. After what the Ravens did to the Chargers last week I do have some concern that the Bengals won’t be able to keep pace in this one but the price tag is still very affordable on Andrews. The discount is large, the floor is safe, and the upside is still there where Andrews is a solid play for cash and still warrants attention for tournaments. My ownership will be spread across the top 3 tight ends I just mentioned and just like Waller, I will have 1 share of Andrews for every 2 shares of Kelce.

DALLAS GOEDERT, PHI $4,600 DRAFTKINGS, $5,400 FANDUEL

With Ertz out of town, Goedert steps into the primary tight end role and should no longer fight for targets with Ertz. His price tag has dropped after being out a week due to Covid-19, but this is a great landing spot to buy shares of Goedert in Week 7. This should be a great spot for him against the Raiders who currently rank 24th against opposing tight ends. This game has a over of 49 and I believe the game shoots over 50 points in a back and forth game for four quarters. I’m expecting a lot of passing as both these teams don’t really run the ball well which should keep the pace up for 4 quarters. As long as all the practice reports seem positive throughout the week, I love Goedert and his price tag in Week 7.

RICKY SEALS-JONES, WAS $3,700 DRAFTKINGS $5,400 FANDUEL

I loaded up last week on Ricky and I’m ready to go back to the well in Week 7. With Logan Thomas out and a good matchup versus the Packers, Seals-Jones could bring solid value to our DFS lineups again. Ricky played 82 out of the 83 snaps in Week 5 and hauled in 4 receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown in Week 6. The Packers passing defense has been good, but if they have a weakness in the passing game its through the tight end position. The Packers defense has yet to face too many solid passing attacks, and I’m not saying that Washington is one of them but at this price tag we don’t need much. The Packers should take a lead, which will have Washington playing from behind and forcing them to air it out to keep pace. Ricky is a tournament only play which could pay off nicely in Week 7.
