It’s Fergie Time: Week 5 Tight End Streamers

Neil Dutton
October 3, 2023

Week 5 sees the beginning of the 2023 bye weeks, making roster and lineup decisions trickier. This is never more relevant than at the tight end spot. It’s already a joy trying to find a viable starter at this spot when all 32 teams are in action. But once you start subtracting teams from the main group, the real challenge begins.

But worry ye not. I am not prepared to let you face this challenge alone. Here I will provide the names of three players you can consider plugging into your TE spot for the week ahead. One of them is very likely heading into his last week of eligibility, as I fully expect his roster percentage in ESPN leagues to tick over 50% very shortly. So you should probably make the most of this change.

Stats do not include players from Monday Night Football.

Neil Dutton March 23, 2026

The Commanders, desperately in need of players to catch passes from (hopefully) Jayden Daniels in 2026, added former Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo in free agency.

Neil Dutton March 16, 2026

The 2025 NFL season is not one that many people linked to the Cleveland Browns will remember fondly. Well, maybe Myles Garrett, who set a new single-season mark for sacks, after all. But apart from him, not many people covered themselves in glory last season. Amid the wreckage of a campaign that saw head coach Kevin Stefanski lose his job, there was one bright spot,…...
