Fantasy Football Week 7 Rankings & Start/Sit Advice
Week 7 Player Notes & Start/Sit Advice
Taysom Hill (NO) at ARI: Saints +1.5 | 45 O/U
- Hill isn’t a traditional tight end — he has just 18 routes and one target on the year — but he gets regular usage each game as a wildcat quarterback, and as such he is 3-of-5 for 38-1-0 passing with 26-267-5 rushing.
- Hill leads the Saints with fig4 carries inside the 20-yard line and three carries inside the 10.
- Especially in the bye weeks, Hill’s upside is too great to ignore.
- The Cardinals are No. 2 in most fantasy points allowed to tight ends (15.2 FPPG).
Hayden Hurst (CIN) vs. ATL: Bengals -6 | 47.5 O/U
- “How all occasions do inform against me and spur my dull revenge! What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more. … Oh, from this time forth, my thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth!”
- The Falcons are No. 4 in most fantasy points allowed to tight ends (13.7 FPPG).
Mo Alie-Cox (IND) at TEN: Colts +2.5 | 42.5 O/U
- In the words of George Michael, “Teacher, there are things that I don’t want to learn” … actually, that’s not it … here we go: “I gotta have faith.”
- Cox had a season-low 35% snap rate and zero targets last week … so, as unintuitive as this sounds … it feels like it’s time for a big game.
- Cox had season-high marks with 6-85-2 receiving, six targets and a 70% snap rate against the Titans in Week 4.
- The Titans are No. 31 in defensive pass DVOA against tight ends (36.8%).
- When I search “Mo Alie-Cox” on Twitter, one of the first tweets that pops up is a transaction notice from a no-followers bot for a random league announcing that Alie-Cox has been released — and if that’s not a “buy low” sign I don’t know what is.
