Tight End Streaming Week 5: Hockenson Has Staying Power

A full month of football is in the books, so our matchup data is starting to look much more useful than it did when we pieced together Week 1 recommendations with last year's leftovers.

4for4's Schedule-Adjusted Fantasy Points Allowed (aFPA) now has four weeks of 2026 results baked in. That's still not enough for matchup data to outweigh everything else, so routes and target-earning will keep driving these decisions, but we can put a little more confidence behind the defensive side of the equation.

As always, streaming candidates must be rostered in no more than 40% of Yahoo fantasy leagues.

Week 4 Recap

Ladies and gentlemen, we have TE1s.

After three weeks of searching for our first top-12 finish, Brenton Strange and Michael Mayer both got us across the line in Week 4. Strange finished as the TE6, while Mayer checked in one spot behind him at TE7.

Naturally, the other three combined for 5.1 half-PPR points, because we're still streaming tight ends here. Let's not get carried away.
