Week 7 Fantasy Football Rankings: Tight Ends

Looking for a little more from George Kittle.

Welcome to Week 7 of the fantasy football season! Also known as, “bye-mageddon!”

That’s right, there are six teams on a bye: Carolina, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, New York Jets and Tennessee. That makes the rankings even more important, and we’re here to help with my initial fantasy player lists! I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in coordination with the Week 7 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

At tight end, George Kittle dropped a few spots after last week’s stinker, but he’s still a top-10 option at a thin position. The biggest mover is Michael Mayer, who jumps into the top 15 as a result of increased usage and a solid matchup in Chicago.

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
