3 Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Options for Week 6

Jesse James, Pittsburgh Steelers

Owned in 20.6% of ESPN Leagues

Jesse James continued his touchdown-dependent ways in Week 5, scoring his third red zone touchdown in four games. He leads the Pittsburgh Steelers in red zone targets, and his five targets from within the 10-yard line rank fourth in the NFL and lead all tight ends. He clearly has the trust of Ben Roethlisberger when the team gets in scoring distance.

James also clearly has the trust of the coaching staff, as he has played in 98 percent of their offensive snaps, trailing only Antonio Brown in snaps played for the Steelers. He is also coming off of a career-high eight targets last week against the New York Jets.

In Week 6, James and the Steelers will take on a Miami Dolphins defense that had allowed the 10th-most fantasy points (ESPN Standard Scoring) heading into Week 5. In Week 5, they allowed Delanie Walker to post his second-best performance of the season, catching 5 passes for 66 yards and a touchdown.

James' value is largely dependent on touchdowns, which makes him a risky option. However, his upside makes him worth a look if you are hurting at tight end this week.
