C.J. Uzomah, Cincinnati Bengals

Yahoo! Ownership: 33%

With the way the Kansas City Chiefs' defense has performed this season and the likely shootout in store for Sunday night, you will want to have as many Cincinnati Bengals as possible in your lineup this week. Bengals' tight end C.J. Uzomah is coming off his best performance of the year and is available in over two-thirds of Yahoo! leagues, making him the ideal streaming candidate.

The Chiefs have allowed over 340 passing yards per week this season, with opposing offenses racking up 28.7 points per game, the sixth-most in the league. Opposing tight ends have especially had their way with the Chiefs, who have allowed an NFL-high 550 yards to the position through 6 games. That has led to a KC giving up the third-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Following injuries to Tyler Kroft and Tyler Eifert, Uzomah is working as the number-one tight end for Cincy, playing over 90% of offensive snaps the last two weeks. In Week 6, Uzomah saw a season-high workload of 7 targets which he hauled in for 6 catches and 54 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With a nice workload in hand and a pass friendly game script -- 5.0-point underdog in the highest scoring game of the week -- Uzomah is worth a play on Sunday.
