Welcome to Week 7! There are only two teams off this week, the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills, leaving us without potential fantasy tight end starters like Dalton Kincaid and Mark Andrews. There is also another international game, as the Los Angeles Rams face the Jacksonville Jaguars in London (9:30 a.m. ET).

This week’s risers at TE include Tucker Kraft, Dallas Goedert, and Michael Mayer, all of whom have very favorable matchups heading into the week. On the flip side, players like T.J. Hockenson and Kyle Pitts Sr. have struggled to produce in the stat sheets, leaving them as very risky fantasy starters in most leagues.

With that said, here are my complete fantasy football tight end rankings for the seventh week of the NFL season.

Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
