Top TE streamers for Week 3

Gerald Everett, Los Angeles Chargers

Did you know you can pick up the NFL’s fourth-best fantasy tight end off waivers in 43% of Yahoo leagues and 69% of ESPN leagues? Nice! Gerald Everett continues to be a roster-worthy player as he’s enjoying a career year with the Chargers, averaging 31 more yards per game than he has before.

Expect Justin Herbert to continue feeding the athletic pass catcher. Everett saw his targets more than double from four to 10 last week and he rewarded the offense with 71 yards. Though he didn’t score as he had in Week 1, we love the continued involvement within the game plan.

Some of Everett’s volume may drop off with Keenan Allen set to return sooner than later. Regardless, a favorable matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars is awaiting the Chargers in Week 3. The Jags have allowed the fifth-most yards to the tight end position through two weeks and don’t have the safety play to contain someone like Everett.

Everett is good enough to stick on your roster long-term. This may be the last week you’ll be able to even add him on waivers before he’s stashed, so grab him if you don’t have one of the premier tight ends.

Logan Thomas, Washington Commanders

It truly made me happy to see Logan Thomas back on the field in Week 2 and producing at a level we had only seen for a glimpse in his 2019 breakout season and part of 2020. The former quarterback-turned-tight end simply has a story that is easy to root for and enjoy.

The 31-year-old returned from a torn ACL in December and caught three of his six targets for 45 yards in Week 1. Then, he caught three of five targets for 37 yards and a touchdown against the Lions. He’s become yet another solid pass catcher in a suddenly loaded Washington offense.

Playing with a quarterback so willing to involve his tight ends is a big part of finding streaming success at the position. Carson Wentz routinely throws to his tight ends, making Thomas a must-watch player now that he’s on the field. And yet, he’s rostered in only 13% of Yahoo and 18% of ESPN leagues.

Expect that to change soon. His Week 3 foe, the Philadelphia Eagles, have performed decently against the position thus far, but the Commanders have made it a bigger emphasis than Detroit did to utilize T.J. Hockenson even in a small sample.

Thomas shouldn’t start over a more proven option, but if you opted for a lower-tier starter such as Tyler Higbee or Albert Okwuegbunam, he can be a great alternative for Week 3.

Evan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars

It’s the second consecutive week we’re featuring Evan Engram as a top streaming option for good reason. Like the others on this list, he’s likely to see his rostership percentage rise considerably from 21% on Yahoo and 17% on ESPN. He caught seven of eight targets for 46 yards as the Jaguars offense suddenly found its footing against the Indianapolis Colts.

Engram was consistent as a short-yardage target against Gus Bradley’s signature Cover 3 defense. While he hasn’t yet logged a touchdown, the Jaguars should look for this advantage sooner than later. The Chargers await them in Week 3 and are one of the weakest defenses in the NFL against tight ends despite having Derwin James.

We expected Engram to be a big part of the Jags’ offense with Doug Pederson and quarterback Trevor Lawrence both prioritizing the position in prior years. He’s been a nice surprise thus far, but there’s a possible higher ceiling. There are some limiting circumstances in Jacksonville with so many mouths to feed, though.
