NFL
4 Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Options for Week 3
Can Dennis Pitta build on an impressive Week 2 performance this week against the Jaguars?

Jesse James, Pittsburgh Steelers

Owned in 20.1% of ESPN Leagues

I honestly don't know how Jesse James is still available in nearly 80 percent of leagues, but he has to be picked up, people. He has played 100 percent of the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive snaps so far this season, which is more than any offensive player not named Ben Roethlisberger. He's also second to only Antonio Brown among Pittsburgh receivers and tight ends in targets with 12 through two games.

He also clearly has the trust of Big Ben, who has thrown to James in the red zone more than any other player through two weeks. As a 6'7" behemoth on a team whose top three targets are 5'11", 5'10", and 5'10", James has legitimately exciting touchdown potential.

In Week 3, James will take on a Philadelphia Eagles team that has defended tight ends well. However, this game should be high scoring, and James appears to have earned a prominent role in the red zone for Pittsburgh, making him a high-upside streaming option in all formats this week.
