Streaming Tight Ends: Week 7

Streaming Tight Ends

 

Finally!! A normal week in the tight-end streets! We saw Cole Kmet have a two-touchdown game and his second-top finish at the position. Evan Engram crushed as he brought in all 10 targets for over 100 yards in his return from injury. Trey McBride and Brock Bowers lead the way for their teams, with their top wide receivers out. And welcome back, Mark Andrews, he finds his way back to the end zone and a top 6 finish.

Travis Kelce and George Kittle will be playing each other this week. While Kelce will demand his team-leading targets, Kittle has the better matchup, with the Chiefs being one of the worst against the tight end position. Kyle Pitts isn’t killing it in the target department, but they are downfield, which keeps him as a viable starter. David Njoku is back in action and saw 7 targets on Sunday, but Watson targets aren’t inspiring. With Amari Cooper off to Buffalo, though, it leaves him with so much potential and the best rest-of-season schedule for tight ends. Finally, TJ Hockenson could be back this week. He logged a practice Monday coming out of the bye week, and Sam Darnold has been something special. Another crucial weapon for the Vikings in a divisional matchup with the Lions that gives tons of yards through the air.

 

And now, here are a handful of streaming options for you all to consider this week:

 

Taysom Hill

Thursday Tilt?

Yeah, that’s right, here we go again. Rookie signal-caller Spencer Rattler threw for 243 yards but at the expense of throwing the ball 40 times. That can’t and won’t happen in a Thursday night battle against the Broncos. They are a top-end defense even with the absence of Patrick Surtain II, who suffered a concussion on Sunday. Teammate Chris Olave will miss the game with a concussion, and Rashid Shaheed is getting his knee checked out. They’ll need to get creative in this battle, and adding Taysom Hill in the running game takes more pressure off the rookie. Hill was limited Monday coming off his rib injury, so watch the practice reports going into Wednesday.

 

Hunter Henry

London, baby!!

Here we go, across the pond. The Patriots are off to London to meet the Jaguars for their second straight game internationally. The Patriots took Drake Maye third overall, and in Week 6, they rolled him out as the starter. Last week wasn’t the easiest matchup, but this has been one of the friendliest secondaries for pass catchers. Hunter Henry continues to be a staple in this offense, and Maye gives the team the best shot to move the ball down the field. He’ll continue to be a volatile play each week, but in a nice matchup, we just maye get some magic.

 

Dalton Schultz

Break Glass in case of Emergency 

It was. a huge blow to fantasy teams when Nico Collins hit IR, but in the wake of his absence, we get targets distributed to others. Dalton Schultz has seen his two highest target totals, 6 and 8, over the last two weeks. In a game that looks to have plenty of scoring, this should be one where we see Dalton fall into the endzone. He hasn’t scored yet this season, so the regression is around the corner. With Cole Kmet and Jake Ferguson on bye, I like this game as a good pivot.
