DraftKings NFL picks, Week 7: Best DFS fantasy football values
By Drew DeLuca
DraftKings best Week 7 values: Tight Ends
There are two ways to approach the position: transfer money and write a hefty check, or dig for change in your couch. This week, we think Travis Kelce (KC at DEN, $6,300) has a great chance of making snow angels in the end zone at least once, so he’s the upper echelon guy who DraftKings main slate players (and Patrick Mahomes) should target.
In the mid-tier range, we love T.J. Hockenson (DET at ATL, $5,000), as the Falcons are statistically one of the NFL’s three worst teams in terms of shutting down tight ends from a fantasy football perspective. Hunter Henry (LAC vs. JAX, $4,500) isn’t a bad gamble, and neither is Jared Cook (NO vs. CAR, $4,300); after all, someone has to catch passes with Thomas sidelined and Sanders quarantined!
Couch change collectors might like Dalton Schultz (DAL at WAS, $3,900) or Logan Thomas (WAS vs. DAL, $3,500) this week. For those who want to shake the sofa to see what falls out, the sporadically used Chris Herndon (NYJ vs. BUF, $3,000) and Ian Thomas (CAR at NO, $3,000) line up against the two defenses that are worst in the league at defending tight ends from a fantasy points per game perspective, and their breakout games are long overdue.
