DraftKings Main Slate for Week 7 - Tight End (TE)

David Njoku practiced in full the entire week. Amari Cooper is gone, and Nick Chubb returns. This should spell an opportunity for running formations and working off the play-action for Njoku vs. the #Bengals. Likley and Kolar splashed similarly two weeks ago, landing 16 & 15 points. Njoku always comes out of nowhere, so use it at your own risk, but based on the alignment of all the moving pieces, the risk of chasing his 16-point mark is appealing. #Browns

Even with Collins's departure, Schultz maintained his stead 6-point output. He's priced a little high with that continued disappointment, which makes it odd that his salary increased by $100 from last week. It's not a middle-of-the-road price, so it's not as much of a deterrent as his production. The positive is that he's been productive in the past, his snap count is 86% on the season, and the #Packers allowed 12 points to Colby Parking two weeks ago and 17 points to Trey McBride last week. While it presents impossible with his numbers, his 16-point mark is in play. #Texans

George Kittle scored 14+ in his last four weeks and 20-22 in three of those games. By the numbers, the #Chiefs land as the best matchup. Oddly, those numbers land with 9 & 8 last week to the #Saints' TEs (Moreau & Johnson), Dissly & Pitts landing 4 & 7 in the previous two weeks, and the season starting with Likely at 29 & Gesicki with 16 points. There isn't much appeal with the matchup, as it arrives with splashes to start the season, but based on his recent production, Kittle's mark of 24 isn't a hard reach. He's a solid (and likely safe) play if you want to pay up at TE. #49ers

Brock Bowers is the main target for the #Raiders with Davante Adams's departure. He's had 16 & 23 in the last two weeks and faces the #Rams, who allowed Kraft & McBride to find 24 & 18 points, respectively. They limited Kmet and LaPorta to 8 or under. Bowers should maintain his floor of 16, with his 23-point mark within reach. #Raiders

Sam LaPorta only had one catch last week, but it landed with a splash. While Amon-Ra is high on the radar this week, it points to production inside if you want to pivot from the WRs vs. the #Vikings. LaPorta scored 13 & 4 points last year vs. MIN, who allowed 11+ in three of the last four weeks. The mark is 21 points, which is appealing with those numbers, but a sub-5k price would've been ideal. His play arrives with risk, but he's in consideration. #Lions

While the secondary WRs for the #Falcons are appealing for salary relief, Kyle Pitts presents similarly with an 18-point mark. He's scored 10 & 15 points over the last two weeks, which is significant compared to his lowly output of 5, 7, & 0 in the previous three weeks. The #Seahawks allowed 22 points to Kittle last week, 9 to Theo Johnson the week before, and 9 to LaPorta (season-high at that point...smh). They also allowed 21 points to Hunter Henry in Week 2. There's room for production here. #Falcons

Travis Kelce is always in play when at this price range. His mark is 25, and while his production has only been 16 & 15 in the last two weeks, you know what it is. If JuJu is out, it provides a more challenging path with coverage rolling his way, but this offense is basically Kelce and Hunt. Kelce isn't a place you chase but one you don't ignore. If you land a strong build, and he's the last piece at TE, don't assume it lands as it has thus far. It's always worth a shot with his extreme upside. #Chiefs

While it seems more likely that Tommy Tremble is playing as he passed concussion protocol, it's also confusing. He practiced LP on Wednesday, FP on Thursday, and DNP on Friday. I can't find any reports regarding the injury, except for his passing protocol, but the injury states a back injury, which SEEMS new. I like this less if he plays, as I'd expect him and Ja'Tavion Sanders to split snaps. If he doesn't go, Sanders's 2.9k price tag and 11-point mark are highly appealing, as he snapped 72% last week and scored 9.9 points. In addition, the #Commanders allowed 15 points to Andrews (Mark, in case he's forgotten about it) and 11 points to Jordan Akins. Potentially, Sanders lands as a solid dart that can allow a build with some high-priced options beside him. #Panthers
