Yours truly was 37th out of 124 experts in tight end accuracy at FantasyPros last week, and somehow FIRST in quarterback accuracy for the week. That will likely not happen again! On the season I am 22nd in tight end accuracy among that same group...so if it’s tight end rankings you need, you have come to a good place!
Week 7 offers about 13 solid options at the position, but after George Kittle I sense a dropoff at the position. Austin Hooper’s outlook gets dinged a bit since Mohamed Sanu returned to practice this week and Atlanta brass have stated their commitment to get Julio Jones the ball. After Hooper...good luck!
Nick O’Leary doesn’t offer the safety of some of the guys ranked ahead of him, but he may offer more upside in a Buffalo offense that seems to want to make use of the tight end.
Guys like Julius Thomas, Coby Fleener, and Antonio Gates are all extremely far removed from the circle of trust. If you are digging that deep I would consider using Tyler Higbee instead, who offers more upside with his youth and the burgeoning Rams offense.
As always, feel free to comment and to haggle away, though many of you do not. Please DO! I like discourse. It makes us all better.
