3 Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Options for Week 8

Vance McDonald, Pittsburgh Steelers

Yahoo! Ownership: 40%

With the Pittsburgh Steelers going on bye last week, many fantasy teams left Vance McDonald on the wire or dropped him for a bye week fill-in. That has left the Pittsburgh tight end available in nearly 60% of Yahoo leagues and ready for tight end needy owners to grab.

Last time we saw McDonald, he was hauling in 7 catches for 68 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. That was his third performance with at least 62 yards in his last four games (all starts). He sat out Week 1 and was eased back in during Week 2. Currently, McDonald ranks as a TE1 (top-12) in PPR leagues, as he is averaging 10.3 PPR points per game. In the Cleveland Browns, he gets a nice home matchup in Week 8, too.

Cleveland has allowed the sixth-most catches (39) to tight ends this season and is allowing an average of 12.3 PPR points to the position each game this season. The matchup gives McDonald a good chance of finding the end zone for the second time this season, as the Steelers own the third-highest implied point total of the week.
