Week 7 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Dallas Clark and 2 TEs You Must Sit

Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark leads up the two worst tight end fantasy plays for Week 7, for a number of reasons.

His quarterback Curtis Painter is clearly not struggling as much as was first feared when he took over for Kerry Collins, but he's not leading his teams to wins, either, as the Colts have none so far this season.

But the other thing holding Clark back is the weak Colts offensive line, which has suffered from injuries, requiring the tight end to be responsible for blocking more than usual.

Clark has 20 receptions this season, for 189 yards and two touchdowns, with his best game so far coming last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, when he caught six passes for 53 yards and a score.

The Saints certainly don't have as strong a defense as the Bengals, but with the offensive line still not fully healthy and the overall Colts offense extremely unreliable, it's best to keep Clark on the bench in Week 7.

The same goes for New York Jets tight end Dustin Keller, whose production is clearly a casualty of the team's attempt to go back to being a run-first offense.

Keller has 249 yards and two touchdowns in the team's first three games, but just 70 yards and no scores for their most recent three, and those numbers should remain low as the season continues.

He is quarterback Mark Sanchez's main target, but with Sanchez throwing around 25 passes a game, there won't be much for Keller to catch, especially considering what happened in the team's Week 6 Monday night game against the Miami Dolphins.

While he did manage 51 yards on the night, he caught just two passes against the Dolphins' last-place defense when it comes to defending the tight end.

This week's matchup against the San Diego Chargers is far more difficult, and it wouldn't be surprising if he was held to just two catches yet again, but for far lower yardage than he had against Miami.

The shift in the Jets' offensive strategy harms Keller's fantasy value as it is, but the fact that he's not taking advantage of his now-limited opportunities makes him worthy of dropping from most, if not all, fantasy rosters.

Certainly, if you don't cut him from your fantasy team heading into this week, you must keep him on the bench. Starting Keller will only lead to a fourth consecutive disappointing showing for the once-venerable fantasy option.
