A new week is upon us, and another chance to take advantage of some great matchups! Bye weeks are in full force, so ownership will continue to be driven up in some spots. Let’s find ourselves some value and upside for Week 7!
Be sure to jump into the WinDailySports Discord, and take advantage of our cheat sheets and projections while you build your lineups for Week 7 on FanDuel and DraftKings! The season is FLYING by, and we are approaching the midway point FAST!
Gerald Everett, Chargers ($4,000 DraftKings, $6,300 FanDuel)
Another week, another opportunity to attack Seattle with a TE. While Everett has done little to nothing over the last two weeks (6-31 on 10 targets), this is a prime spot for him. He missed practice on Wednesday with an illness, so keep an eye on him throughout the week. I’m not expecting any illness to be significant enough to keep him out on Sunday. Fellow TE Donald Parham is in the concussion protocol, so Everett could end up with even more snaps and opportunities.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. The Seahawks are allowing over 24 fantasy points per game to opposing TE. Keenan Allen has a chance to return this week, but that likely won’t affect Everett too much. This game easily has the highest total of the week at 51.5 points. You’re going to want some shares of this game. FanDuel seems to have priced him accordingly for this elite matchup, but he is still dirt cheap on DraftKings. Let’s continue to smash the Seahawks with TE!
Robert Tonyan, Packers ($4,100 DraftKings, $5,500 FanDuel)
Aaron Rodgers can’t seem to trust any of the WR in the Packers offense, and has now lost Randall Cobb for at least the next few weeks. Tonyan stepped up in a big way last week against the Jets, and he was the only one who seemed to show up for the game.
Tonyan was a machine last week, hauling in 10 of 12 targets for 90 yards. While game script dictated some of that, the Packers have struggled mightily on offense overall. Green Bay is favored by 4.5 points right now in this one. The team is already sitting two games behind Minnesota, and each conference game is near a must-win at this stage of the season for a team with Super Bowl aspirations (although count me OUT as a believer in this squad).
Daniel Bellinger, Giants ($3,400 DraftKings, $5,100 FanDuel)
One of the biggest surprises on the team who is the biggest surprise in the NFL this season is Bellinger. He has provided value on few opportunities over the last few weeks, finding the end zone in each of the last two games. He has increased his snap rate from 74% to 94% over that short span. The Jags have actually been tough on opposing TE, but opportunity and price put Bellinger firmly in play for me here.
Travis Kelce, Chiefs ($8,000 DraftKings, $8,300 FanDuel)
Rostering the best TE in the NFL seems like a viable strategy, regardless of matchup. The 49ers have allowed less than eight fantasy points per game to opposing TE, but that doesn’t matter here. Kelce is matchup-proof, as evidenced by his 8-108 line against the Bills last week. He is averaging almost nine targets per game, has Patrick Mahomes under center, anything else you need to hear? Kelce always has slate-breaking upside.
David Njoku, Browns ($4,200 DraftKings, $5,700 FanDuel)
Did you know that Njoku is the ONLY TE in the NFL who has 50+ yards in each of the last four weeks? Of course you did. In fact, he has 58+ in all of those games, and 73+ in three of four. He has been a borderline elite fantasy option at the position over the last month, and I don’t see that changing this week.
Only the Patriots and Raiders have allowed more TD to opposing TE than the Ravens (4). Njoku and the Browns are in desperation mode right now following three straight losses. Njoku has been the most consistent player on the offense of late (save for maybe Nick Chubb), and I’m all for the volume once again. He has 29 targets over the last month, and although he has only found the end zone once over that span, he has an elite floor. He makes sense as a cash game play if you aren’t paying up for Kelce or Mark Andrews.
