4 Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Options For Week 5

Cameron Brate, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Owned in 9.0% of ESPN Leagues

After playing 78% of the snaps in Week 3, Cameron Brate played a season-high 87% of the offensive snaps in Week 4. He's seen 10 and 8 targets, respectively, in his two weeks as the starting tight end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which he has turned into 10 catches for 113 yards and 2 touchdowns.

In nine games without Austin Seferian-Jenkins over the past two years, Brate has averaged 9.5 fantasy points (in points per reception leagues), which would be enough to rank 12th among tight ends playing this weekend.

This week, Brate will face off against the Carolina Panthers, who haven't resembled anything close to the elite defense they've been in years past. They've been particularly poor against tight ends, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points and the third-most touchdowns to the position.

Brate isn't an overly talented player, but his target load makes him one of the safer streaming options, and he is available in more than 90% of ESPN leagues.
