Week 7 FanDuel NFL Tournament Pivots

Tight End

Chalk

A healthy Rob Gronkowski means a healthy ownership, as he should clearly be the top option at tight end given his home matchup against Atlanta. His rapport with Tom Brady is unparalleled and his output speaks for itself -- he's worth every penny of his $8,500 price tag and people will rightfully pay up to roster him.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins will likely see high ownership given his low price tag and two strong outings in a row. There will also likely be some love shown to Evan Engram, who has proven to be Eli Manning's only healthy and reliable receiving option. It would also not be surprising to see Jimmy Graham's ownership at a decent level given his matchup against the league-worst tight end defense of the New York Giants.

Pivots

Hunter Henry, $5,200 (vs. Denver Broncos)

By all accounts, Hunter Henry's ownership should be decent, but matchups against the Denver Broncos tend to have people looking for other options. The Broncos are actually a decent matchup for opposing tight ends, giving up the fifth-most FanDuel points per game to the position.

People are also likely scared away from Henry because his coaching staff has proven they don't know what they are doing. Henry has scored at least 11.5 points in three of the four games he's received targets, but there have been two games where the Los Angeles Chargers have not looked his way. Blame it on extra blocking. Blame it on a healthy Keenan Allen stealing targets. Blame it on whatever you want. Henry should be a top-five fantasy tight end, but he is being held back.

His 15 targets in the past two weeks do indicate that the team may be coming around. Given the solid matchup and his low price, Henry is worth the risk in tournaments with upside to return three times value or more.

Austin Hooper, $5,000 (at New England Patriots)

If you are putting together multiple lineups, it's not a bad strategy to use one of them to stack a team in the highest-projected scoring game of the week. In this case, that means looking at the Patriots and Falcons. Granted, there are some high prices in play, so cap relief is needed.

Austin Hooper offers this cap relief at a bargain price of $5,000. That price is tantalizing because we saw his upside in Week 1 when he went off for 128 yards and a score (albeit on two catches).

After only six targets in his first three games, he has seen 15 combined over the past two weeks. The Patriots have given up the fourth-most points to the position and have allowed an opposing tight end to score in five of their six games. With others likely looking to Gronk, ASJ, and Engram, Hooper represents a cheap pivot that could make a big difference in tournaments.
