3 Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Options for Week 3

Eric Ebron, Detroit Lions

ESPN Ownership: 29.1%

Eric Ebron saw his ownership nearly cut in half following a disappointing Week 1. The talented fourth-year tight end bounced back as one of Week 2's best streaming options, though, catching all 5 of his targets for 42 yards and a red zone touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford.

Ebron was a popular breakout pick heading into this season, largely based on the possibility that he would take on a lot of the missing targets -- particularly in the red zone -- of the departed Anquan Boldin. However, following an injury-riddled preseason and a huge Week 1 from Kenny Golladay, the Ebron skeptics were back. However, the Babytron hype train was slowed to a halt on Monday Night Football, as the rookie saw limited playing time (53.2% of snaps) and caught just one of three targets for eight yards.

While Golladay's presence is likely to make Ebron a somewhat dicey play week-to-week, he is an exciting streaming option when the matchup is right. He draws a matchup very similar to the one he saw against the New York Giants in Week 3, as the Detroit Lions will face an Atlanta Falcons team with very strong corners that funnel targets to the middle of the field. It is a great opportunity to attack with running backs and tight ends, which is evidenced by the fact that Atlanta ranked sixth in tight end targets against last year (8.6 per game). Through two weeks thus far, teams have already targeted their tight ends 24 times against the Falcons.

Ebron should see plenty of targets headed his way this week and is again one of the top streaming options in fantasy.
