With seven weeks’ worth of information at our disposal, the true crux of the streaming method has molded into shape. Now with a great 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 8 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 7 Review

We’re coming off one of our best weeks of the year, as we nailed three TE1s and would have had usable weeks from the whole bunch if Daniel Bellinger didn’t receive a fracture to his orbital bone. We will look to replicate that success with a new batch of names, as two of our selections from last week (Engram and Gesicki) are now rostered in too many leagues to be included in our perimeters.

Top Streamers

Evan Engram - 8.7 Half-PPR pts (TE9)
Cade Otton - 8.3 pts (TE10)

Deep Plays

Mike Gesicki - 4.2 pts (TE25)
Greg Dulcich - 8.1 pts (TE12)
Daniel Bellinger - 1.8 pts (TE35)

Top Streaming Picks

(Mike Gesicki is rostered in too many leagues to be included here but give your waiver wire a cursory look and make him a priority if he’s available in your league.)
