Budget-friendly DFS plays at each position for Week 7
- Lock in the ATL tight ends
- G-Men defense might be worth the long shot
Tight End: Kyle Pitts ($4000) or Jonnu Smith ($3600), Atlanta Falcons
I like the Falcons tight ends in this matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and to be honest, there aren't many value plays at the tight end position this week. It seems you are either going to pay top dollar for Travis Kelce or take a shot on a player like Kyle Pitts or Jonnu Smith for half the price.
Pitts has 17 targets in the last two games and Smith, his backup, has at least four receptions in every game this season. For $400 less, you could get a tight end that is averaging five catches for 56 yards in the games he has played this season. Though he has only scored one touchdown this year, those 10-12 points could help your overall score much more than you think.
Pitts is the guy with the better chance to have a big statline and it seems that the offense and quarterback Desmond Ridder is making more of an effort to get him the ball.
If you don't want to splurge on Kelce, I think either of these guys makes sense this week to plug into your TE slot.
