Check out my Week 7 Picks.

I’m all-in on Dustin Keller for two reasons: A) the Jets are going to be down a lot, which means there will be a lot of junk time and B) Keller is the best offensive weapon available so I expect him to receive the lions share of the targets.

I do not understand why Scott Chandler is so high in the rankings (average of 7). A lot of fantasy owners may look at the total number of points he’s amassed and believe he’s a reliable fantasy tight end. Most of his fantasy value comes from touchdowns, which is hard to forecast and repeat. Feast of famine tight ends like Chandler (I’m looking at you Vernon Davis) are options I try to avoid.

Colby Fleener is due for a big day. Joe Hayden will blanket Reggie Wayne all day and Luck will have to find the next best receiving option. I believe it will be Fleener.
