Tight end continues to be a position that doesn’t have a lot of depth in reliable options but does offer plenty of upside for fantasy football managers looking to be especially dominant on a weekly basis. New options emerge each week and production fluctuates wildly. With the Bills and Ravens continuing bye week season, let’s run down the top 15 TE Rankings for week 7 to help you with all your lineup decisions at the position this week.
For a second straight week, star tight end Brock Bowers was sidelined by a knee injury and is day-to-day heading into Week 7. I think he’ll miss another game, though, so I did not rank him this week, while including his replacement Michael Mayer (16 FPTS), who was the No. 5 tight end this week with Monday’s results still pending.
He was outscored by Dallas Goedert (29 FPTS), Trey McBride (21.2 FPTS), Tyler Warren (18.3 FPTS) and Sam LaPorta (16.5 FPTS). Just behind Mayer, who was in my sleeper plays on Saturday for Sunday’s game, rookies Harold Fannin Jr. (15.1 FPTS) and Oronde Gadsden (12.8 FPTS) joined veterans Tyler Higbee (14 FPTS) and Travis Kelce (13.8 FPTS) in the top 10.
Which of those options can you trust in Week 7? To help you set your lineups each week, check out my positional rankings each Monday at DK Network. You can find them on my author page if all the other awesome content bumps them down the page.
