Week 7 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Sit 'Em

Will Dissly - Seattle Seahawks vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Will Dissly is the definition of a touchdown-dependent player in Fantasy Football. He has failed to reach five targets or 50 yards in a single game this season. In the three games in which he recorded a touchdown, he exceeded 12 PPR fantasy points. In three in which he didn't, he scored four or fewer PPR points.

The lack of volume makes Dissly a boom-or-bust tight end. It's hard to trust him in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Chargers as he might draw coverage from Derwin James, one of the best coverage safeties in the NFL.

Pat Freiermuth - Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Miami Dolphins

Pat Freiermuth currently ranks in the top ten among all tight ends in fantasy points per game during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. While this would normally make him a confident starter, the Pittsburgh Steelers' change in quarterback has hurt his production so far.

Freiermuth spent most of the 2022 NFL season with Mitchell Rrubisky as his quarterback. In one game with Kenny Pickett, he recorded his fewest targets and yards in any game this year. Pickett is expected to start again in Week 7, making Freiermuth a risky option.

Tyler Conklin - New York Jets vs. Denver Broncos

Tyler Conklin emerged as a reliable Fantasy Football tight end in the early part of the 2022 NFL season. He exceeded five targets in each of his first four games, while exceeding 50 yards in three of them.

Conklin has almost completely disappeared in his last two games with the New York Jets. He has been targeted just three times for 17 total yards in the last two games. He can be benched or dropped in Fantasy Football until he proves he can reestablish a role for himself.
