Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Week 8: OK, Okonkwo
Make us preferred on Google
Week 7 gave us two top-seven finishes, a couple of usable deeper plays, and one more reminder that Tyler Higbee can make this process deeply annoying.
The streaming pool looks a little different heading into Week 8. Both of last week’s top recommendations have moved beyond our rostership cutoff, leaving us to sort through emerging target earners, returning bye-week options, and a few familiar names whose playing time remains more appealing than their fantasy production.
As always, streaming candidates must be rostered in no more than 40% of Yahoo fantasy leagues. We’ll also use 4for4’s Schedule-Adjusted Fantasy Points Allowed (aFPA) to help evaluate matchups, with higher numerical ranks indicating friendlier defenses.

Week 7 Recap
A considerably better week, even if the touchdowns did some heavy lifting.
T.J. Hockenson returned with four catches for 35 yards and a touchdown, while Darren Waller turned his only target into a 50-yard score. Both finished tied for TE7. Mike Gesicki also found the end zone on his lone target, giving us three recommendations inside the top 20.
