3 Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Options for Week 6

C.J. Uzomah, Cincinnati Bengals

Yahoo! Ownership: 25%

Even though he played in a majority of snaps the first four games, C.J. Uzomah moved into lead tight end duties in Week 5, playing over 90% of offensive snaps with Tyler Eifert out for the year. Tyler Kroft played a clear secondary role as he was on the field for just 40% of snaps. Uzomah was moderately productive in a tough matchup too as he grabbed 2 catches for 43 yards in the win over the Miami Dolphins. His boost in playing time collides with a favorable matchup for Bengals' tight ends as they face the friendly pass defense of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Pittsburgh has been beaten up by tight ends all year. In Week 2, Travis Kelce ripped them up for over 100 yards and 2 scores. It hasn't been just All-Pro tight ends either as Howard and Brate of the Bucs combined for 9 catches, 106 yards, and a touchdown in Week 3 and Austin Hooper of the Falcons racked up 9 catches for 76 yards last Sunday. For the season, the Steelers have allowed a league-high 40 catches to tight ends and the second-most fantasy points.

The AFC North matchup has the makings of a barnburner too -- another positive for Uzomah. The game carries the third-highest over/under of the week, leaving Cincy with the sixth-highest implied total (27.75).
