FanDuel Daily Fantasy projections, Week 7: Tight ends
He’s coming off a couple subpar games, so Rob Gronkowski will probably have his lowest ownership of the season. What should fantasy owners do?

If you’re in the daily fantasy sports (DFS) game, you need as many tools as possible to help set your lineup. Sure, there are some things you’ll disagree with, but not acknowledging stats or information is usually a mistake. FanDuel has acquired NumberFire to help on some projections for NFL players for each week to give you another tool to help.
Here are the fantasy projections for Week 7:
Top tier
He's coming in cold and the New York Jets have been very good, so the numbers say Rob Gronkowski isn't worth the money at $8,100. In a cash game, you might want to go another way. However, it certainly wouldn't be a surprise to see Gronk go off, which makes him a playable GPP guy. Charles Clay looks like the go-to guy in a great matchup and he should be targeted heavily. He's your best bet in cash.
Bargains
If you don't want to go with Clay, Jason Witten against the New York Giants looks like a good one. Witten lit them up earlier in the season and should have success again. Although, this could change if Dez Bryant gives it a go -- this seems unlikely. If you want to go cheaper, you could go with Jordan Reed, who expects to play. Of course, the chances of him getting hurt are as high as anyone, so he's not a great cash play.
Elite players with subpar matchups
Gronk is in a tier by himself, so he has a bad matchup. Travis Kelce’s price is down to $6,000, so he might be worth a look even though he gets a tougher matchup.
