With four weeks’ worth of information at our disposal, the true crux of the streaming method can begin to mold into shape. Now with a slightly better understanding of how teams will look to employ the tight ends in the receiving game, we can avert our eyes to the waiver wire to find some looked-over players who could benefit our fantasy teams in the short term and, possibly, the long term.

More Week 5 Streaming: QB | K | DST

For streaming purposes, 4for4’s Schedule-Adjusted Fantasy Points Allowed (aFPA) is a metric we rely heavily on to determine weekly matchup strength. As the season progresses and more data is available, aFPA becomes more and more reliable, using rolling 10-week data. Targets and efficiency metrics are also considered when choosing weekly streamers.

To provide the advice you can implement, candidates for streaming must be rostered in no more than 40% of Yahoo! fantasy leagues.

Week 4 Review

Outside of the ever-disappointing why-do-I-keep-writing-him-up performance from Evan Engram, a pretty decent week in the streaming streets. Could have been a third TE1 performance out of Cameron Brate —who had eight targets in the first half— but he sadly left the game early due to concussion-like symptoms. We’ll look up some positive matchups and interesting trends and run this all back for Week 5.

Top Streamers

Robert Tonyan - 9.2 half-PPR pts (TE12)
Evan Engram - 2.1 half-PPR pts (TE50)

Deep Plays

Hayden Hurst - 10.2 half-PPR pts (TE10)
Tyler Conklin - 6.7 half-PPR pts (TE18)
Cameron Brate - 5.2 half-PPR pts (TE21)

Top Streaming Picks

Tyler Conklin (Jets) misses the cut here (42% rostered) but has 5+ targets in every game this year and has a great matchup against aFPA’s 31st-ranked TE defense.
