3 Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Options For Week 9

Cameron Brate, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Owned in 34.5% of ESPN Leagues

Cameron Brate saw his snaps reduced once again in Week 8, playing 54% of the offensive snaps for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite this, he was able to turn in another usable fantasy performance, catching 3 of 5 targets for 22 yards and 1 score. That's now three touchdowns for Brate over his last five games, and his 50% market share of targets from inside the 10-yard line easily leads the team.

Brate's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons this week presents another opportunity to feel confident streaming him, as the Falcons have struggled mightily to defend tight ends this season. On the year, they have allowed the sixth-most standard-league fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. Atlanta's pass defense, as a whole, has been dreadful this year, ranking 24th in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play, so Jameis Winston and company could certainly build on their 5 passing touchdowns over the past two weeks.

As the second-most heavily targeted Tampa Bay pass-catcher behind Mike Evans, and with a large role carved out for himself in the red zone, Brate is once again an excellent streaming option this week.
