3 Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Options for Week 6

Cameron Brate, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Yahoo! Ownership: 33%

With O.J. Howard not practicing and expected to sit out Week 6, Cameron Brate returns to our streaming radar as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting tight end. It's not an unfamiliar role for Brate as the fifth-year vet started 16 games the last 2 seasons. In those games, he racked up 57 catches, 738 yards, and 8 touchdowns. Those numbers would have been good enough to be the fourth-best PPR tight end last season, with 178.8 fantasy points.

Even while he worked as the Bucs' TE2, Brate has been productive. In his last two games played, he amasses 6 catches for 63 yards and 2 touchdowns while playing 50% of snaps. With no Howard, his field time will no doubt increase, as Howard saw at least 65% of snaps the first three weeks.

Sunday's opponent, the Atlanta Falcons, are dealing with a banged up secondary and are allowing opposing offenses to post the 7th-most passing yards per game (277.0) and the third-most passing touchdowns (12) this season. The defense has given up over 32 points per game, the second-most in the league, setting up a shootout with the Bucs that you will want a piece of. The game carries the second-highest over/under of Week 6 (57.5).
