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.Chapters0:00 Intro0:39 Touchdowns called back by penalty2:22 Tackled at the one-yard line3:45 Unrealized air yards leaderboard5:15 Defensive pass interference tracker6:16 Interception doctor8:09 Drops10:27 Better ball touchdowns12:03 Week 7 Sheesh MVPs13:02 Wrap-upSubscribe for fantasy football analysis from Ian Hartitz every week.#ad Paid partnership with Betr.

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.TIER 4: NO THANK YOUKenyon Sadiq, Harold Fannin Jr., AJ Barner, Darren Waller, Dalton Schultz, Mark Andrews.Find Ian's updated ranks all week long at RotoWire, and get 40% off All-Access with code IAN40.CHAPTERS0:00 Intro0:23 Tier 1: The big six4:58 Key question: best on-paper matchups this week6:36 Tier 2: TE1s with a question mark12:59 Key question: best and worst schedules moving forward14:14 Tier 3: The TE2s19:34 Key question: inline vs. slot and wide splits20:57 Sling21:33 Tier 4: No thank you25:45 Wrapping up#fantasyfootball #TErankings #NFL#ad Paid partnerships with Betr and Sling.
