3 Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Options for Week 11

Jeff Heuerman, Denver Broncos

Yahoo! Ownership: 6%

A forgotten pickup since the Denver Broncos were on bye in Week 10, Jeff Heuerman is well deserving of a stream following his monster Week 9 performance.

The tight end emerged as Case Keenum's favorite target in the first post-Demaryius Thomas game for Denver. Heuerman was targeted 11 times, hauling in 10 of them for 83 yards and a touchdown. He finished as the PPR TE2 in Week 9, behind only Travis Kelce.

The game marked the fourth time in his last six games that Heuerman saw at least five targets. Not coincidentally, his increase in looks started in Week 4 as fellow tight end Jake Butt tore his ACL. Heuerman has been on the field for more than 80% of offensive snaps since Butt was lost for the year. Facing the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11, Heuerman will have plenty of opportunities to build on his Week 9 success.

In the last two weeks, the Chargers have allowed back-to-back outings of at least 50 yards to tight ends, averaging 5.0 catches, 52.0 yards, and 0.5 touchdowns allowed to the position in that span. Add in the Broncos sitting as 7.5-point underdogs, and Heuerman may be leaned on heavily by Denver.
