3 Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Options for Week 1
Charles Clay, Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills' offense and their league-low 16.75 implied total might not be a place you would expect to find streaming weapons in Week 1. However, thanks to Mr. Consistency, aka Charles Clay, here we are.
During his three-year tenure with the Bills, Clay has been a reliable week-to-week tight end streaming option, thanks to a high floor. Since 2015, he has averaged 5.8 targets per game and has finished either first or second in receptions on the Bills each season. With second-year quarterback Nathan Peterman under center on Sunday, Clay should maintain his hefty target share, serving as a security blanket for the young signal caller in a likely negative game script against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens were a top-10 passing defense in 2017, but they had their fair share of struggles against tight ends. Baltimore's opponents targeted their tight ends 122 times, the sixth-most against any team. All those looks led to the Ravens allowing the eighth-most fantasy points to the position last year.
So, if your roster is not in need of a home run from the tight end spot, look no further than Clay in Week 1.
