Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming: Week 5 Edition
With Travis Kelce's ownership too high to stream, there may be a new talented tight end in play.

Mike Evans sustained a groin injury last week, meaning Seferian-Jenkins could see an even more increased target share moving forward.

ASJ ranks 15th in terms of Reception impressive physical profile with his encouraging snap count data (was on the field for 98% of the teams’ 65 snaps) from Week 4, and you have a potential breakout candidate at a position that is shifting towards young upstarts.

The Bucs face the Saints in Week 5, which sets up as a plus matchup for Seferian-Jenkins – New Orleans ranks 31st against the pass this year according to our numbers. If you’re desperate at tight end, ASJ represents a combination of talent and opportunity.

Clay Harbor, Jacksonville Jaguars

It may be a bit of a stretch to recommend a Jaguar tight end with 0% ownership. But what continues to recover from injury.

In Week 5, Jacksonville welcomes a reeling Steelers’ defense that currently ranks 27th against tight ends in terms of fantasy points against, and 28th against the pass in general. If Harbor sees a similar amount of targets against Pittsburgh, there’s a decent chance he finds the end zone.

Jace Amaro, New York Jets

Jace Amaro is another young, promising tight end that appears to be ascending.

Jim Sannes wrote about Amaro’s possible impact on the Jets’ offense back in May, and as you can see, there's a lot of upside.

It’s true that the Jets’ offense seems to be veering off the tracks with Geno Smith at the helm, but with Eric Decker’s near-term health status still in question, Amaro is the next best option for whoever is throwing the ball come this Sunday.

Amaro was third on the team in targets (5) on Sunday, and converted all of them into 5-58-0. He ranks third in Reception NEP among 31 tight ends with 5 to 15 targets this year, and 10th on a per-target basis among the same group.

The Jets travel to San Diego this Sunday, and while the quarterback situation is in flux, the matchup is exploitable – San Diego ranks 22nd against the pass this season. Amaro is almost certain to be available on your leagues’ waiver wire, and if you’re looking for a high-ceiling tight-end option, he could bring back positive results.
