Gerald Everett has been rolling lately and gets a favorable matchup with the Lions on Sunday. What other tight ends are we looking at for streaming in Week 13?

C.J. Uzomah, Cincinnati Bengals

Yahoo! Ownership: 26%

The Cincinnati Bengals are a mess right now. They have lost five of six games, scored only 18.3 points per game during their current three-game losing streak, and have now lost Andy Dalton for the season. Despite all the misfortune, C.J. Uzomah has started to emerge as a trustworthy weapon in fantasy football and in real life.

Over his last six games, Uzomah has received steady work in the passing game. He has seen at least four targets five times while catching at least three passes four times. In Week 12, the tight end saw a career-high 13 targets while hauling in a season-high 6 passes. Jeff Driskel took over for Dalton in the second half of the game and targeted the tight end on 8 of his 29 pass attempts (27.5%). The familiarity with each other -- from the duo’s time with the second team during training camp and to start the season -- will likely help Uzomah moving forward. They get to show off their chemistry in Week 13 in a favorable matchup, for the tight end, against the Denver Broncos.

On Sunday, Uzomah should find plenty of room to run as Denver has given up the seventh-most receiving yards (65.9 per game) to tight ends this season. Last week, Jesse James and Vance McDonald racked up 7 catches for 62 yards while in Week 11, Antonio Gates hauled in 5 passes for 80 yards and a score. Overall, the Broncos have given up the ninth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season.
