Ts and Cs apply. The Week 7 Sheesh Report: a beyond-the-box-score breakdown of the near-miss opportunities you might have missed if you didn't watch every second of every game. Ian Hartitz went through the film and the play-by-play data for touchdowns called back by penalty, players tackled at the one-yard line, the unrealized air yards leaderboard, defensive pass interference, the interception doctor, and the drops and overthrows that cost six points. Blake Corum had not one but two touchdowns wiped away by penalties, a 43-yard run on a face mask and a 2-yard run on a hold, so he was not too far off a three-touchdown day. KC Concepcion dropped a potential 48-yard touchdown in the middle of his breakout game. Matthew Golden is up to 749 unrealized air yards on the season, over 200 more than anyone else, leads the league in drops, and is in a two-man race with Nico Collins for the most DPI penalties drawn. Ian calls it the Sheesh Report, because these are the plays that make fantasy managers say exactly that.

Ts and Cs apply. 📺 Stream smart this season with Sling Select. Head to sling.com today to get started.👉 https://www.sling.com/ TE rankings and TE tiers: Ian Hartitz ranks his top 24 tight ends for Week 7 of fantasy football, just in time for National Tight Ends Day, and sorts them into four tiers. Brock Bowers is the TE1, George Kittle is the TE3 with Mike Evans (Achilles) not expected to suit up, and Tucker Kraft is the TE6: the Lions are allowing 11 more PPR points per game to tight ends than any other defense. Tyler Higbee climbs to TE7 with Davante Adams sidelined, Colston Loveland is back in TE1 territory, and Colby Parkinson is a touchdown option at TE14. After tiers 1 to 3 Ian stops for a bigger question about the position. TIER 1: THE BIG SIXBrock Bowers, Trey McBride, George Kittle, Isaiah Likely, Sam LaPorta, Tucker Kraft.Key question: who has the best on-paper matchups this week? Vegas implied team totals against opponent PPR points allowed to tight ends: it's Tucker Kraft and it's everyone else, with the Rams tight ends also set up well. Isaiah Likely and Tyler Warren (groin) face a tough mix of matchup and offense. TIER 2: TE1s WITH A QUESTION MARKTyler Higbee, Dallas Goedert, Travis Kelce, Colston Loveland, T.J. Hockenson, Kyle Pitts.Key question: who has the best and worst schedules moving forward? By average opponent rank over Weeks 7-12, the Jets, Broncos, Buccaneers, Steelers and Rams have it easiest; the Chargers, Raiders, Jaguars, Lions, Packers and 49ers have it toughest. Matchups are a tiebreaker, not a rule of thumb. TIER 3: THE TE2sMichael Mayer, Colby Parkinson, Hunter Henry, Pat Freiermuth, Mike Gesicki, Juwan Johnson.Key question: which tight ends have striking splits inline vs. in the slot or out wide? Bowers (91%), Likely (92%) and McBride (83%) do most of their damage in the slot or out wide, George Kittle gets 82% of his production inline, and Mike Gesicki is at 0% inline.
