Let's Hear It For The Tight Ends In Fantasy Football Week 7

Sound the alarms. Call HR.

I have a huge problem with Matthew Berry this week, and I'd like to file a report.

Before I air my grievances, let's see if you can find the issue at hand. Here are all the pass catchers that Berry Loves in Week 7:

AJ Brown @ CHI
DeVonta Smith vs. DAL
Matthew Golden @ DET
Tucker Kraft @ DET
Zay Flowers vs. CIN
Germie Bernard @ NO
Denzel Boston @ TEN
Omar Cooper vs MIA
Tyler Higbee @ LV

Sure, those guys are going to feast. I get why he loves 'em. But there are only two TEs on the list. TWO.

Sunday is National Tight End Day and there's no amount of "facts" or "nasty matchups" that can get me to fade 'em.

Hate Travis Kelce @ SEA all you want, Berry. Write an article completely devoid of any mention of George Kittle. National Tight End Day is meant to defy all odds. And while all the analysts focus on "quantitative metrics" that are "supported by several weeks worth of data points," I'm focusing on something bigger than that.

NTED only comes once a year. And you won't take it away from me.

At least there is one thing we can all agree on: Week 7 Tucker Kraft is a cheat code.

ALL OF MATTHEW’S WEEK 7 LOVE/HATE

Dinner Made Easy With HelloFresh

Isn’t it great when you do such a good job drafting your fantasy team that your starting lineup pretty much sets itself? A couple running backs in the early rounds, then load up at WR. Then work in picks for Joe Burrow at QB and George Kittle at TE. You’re set all the way to the fantasy championship.

But even if you have to pore over the waiver wire during the season, HelloFresh simplifies your dinner planning and preparation so you can grind on who to start in your flex. You can enjoy a good meal without spending time figuring out what to make or how to make it. And the great part is that HelloFresh gives you a variety of meal choices to fit different tastes, lifestyles and needs—with plenty of healthy options, too.
