Week 7 Start ’Em: Tight EndsStart of the Week
Dallas Goedert vs. Dolphins (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC): Goedert has been far more involved in the Eagles passing game lately, seeing a combined 17 targets in the last two weeks. He’s also scored nine-plus points in three of his last four games, and a matchup against the Dolphins makes him a nice (and obvious) option. Their defense has allowed three tight ends to score 11-plus points this season.

Start ’Em
Kyle Pitts at Buccaneers (1p.m. ET, Fox): Can we finally trust Pitts in our fantasy lineups? Maybe, but with six teams on a bye, he should be active in most leagues this week. He’s been productive in the last two games, scoring a combined 30 PPR points on 17 targets. So, while the Buccaneers have been tough on tight ends, the increase in usage is enough to put Pitts back in our good graces (for now).
Luke Musgrave at Broncos (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS): Countless fantasy managers will stream tight ends this week, and Musgrave is one of the more attractive plays. The rookie out of Oregon State has a fabulous matchup in Denver, as the Broncos have allowed four tight ends to score more than 10 points including two that have put up 20-plus points. In all, Denver has given up the most points to tight ends.
Michael Mayer at Bears (1 p.m. ET, Fox): Mayer has seen more volume in the last two weeks, catching seven passes for 114 yards and scoring a combined 18.3 points. With six teams on a bye, he’s worth a roll of the dice in a plus matchup in Chicago. Their defense has allowed four tight ends to score 10-plus points against them this season, including two who have gone over the 19-point mark.
