Freiermuth, Higbee recommended as TE starts in Week 7 fantasy football

Tyler Higbee of the Los Angeles Rams and Pat Freiermuth of the Pittsburgh Steelers are identified as start 'em picks for Week 7 of fantasy football. Higbee faces a favorable matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, a team that allows significant points to tight ends. Freiermuth's status hinges on his recovery from a calf injury as the Steelers prepare for their game in New Orleans. Both players have shown potential in prior games, with Freiermuth especially crucial due to Pittsburgh’s thin receiver corps. Alternatives for Freiermuth include Darnell Washington if he cannot play.
