Week 10 Streamers

Is it already Week 10? Time is sure flying by, and the end of the fantasy season is looming. These next few weeks are HUGE for your attempt at a playoff push. With four teams on bye, this is going to be a week where you need to rely on some streaming options, and there are some good ones! Remember, throughout this series, we will provide the best weekly options to stream at quarterback, tight end, and D/ST. Keep in mind, each streaming option will be below 50% owned, according to ESPN leagues. 

QUARTERBACK

Streamer #1: Carson Wentz vs JAX, 49.4% owned

Wentz is one of the best streaming options at quarterback right now. At this point, he deserves to be rostered in most fantasy leagues. Coming off three straight 20-plus performances and a Week 9 QB5 finish, Wentz finds himself with another favorable matchup. The Jaguars are one of the worst teams at shutting down opposing quarterbacks (although they did hold Josh Allen to 9.6 fantasy points this past week). They are giving up the 10th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and they’ve allowed five different signal-callers to top 20 fantasy points in eight games played (one of those was Geno Smith). If he’s available in your free agency and you need to stream at quarterback, Wentz is easily the safest streaming option for you. 

Streamer #2: Matt Ryan at DAL, 43.5% owned

Ryan served as the QB3 in Week 9 against a very good New Orleans defense. He has been hit-or-miss this season, but he draws a great matchup this week against the Cowboys. You should feel confident enough to stream Ryan this week if Wentz isn’t available, as he’s topped 18 fantasy points in four out of his last five games. Dallas, on the other hand, has allowed five different quarterbacks to top that mark in their seven games played this season. They’re coming off a horrendous performance against the Broncos, where Teddy Bridgewater produced 21.9 points with only 21 pass attempts. The Cowboys are also allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to signal-callers this season. In a game that looks like a high-scoring affair on paper, expect around 15 to 20 points for Ryan this week. 

TIGHT END

Streamer #1: Tyler Conklin at LAC, 46.5% owned

Conklin wasn’t a great streaming option last week in standard-scoring leagues, but if you play some type of PPR, he was decent. Remember, streaming tight ends is one of the hardest things to do in fantasy football. If your streaming option at the tight end position can score around double-digit PPR points, that’s a win! He’s seen seven targets in each of his last two games, but he’s not finding the end zone (scored one touchdown all season). If he were to cross the pylon, he would more than likely finish as a top-10 tight end this week. Fortunately for him, the Chargers have allowed five touchdowns to his position and four in their last six games. Los Angeles is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to that position this season, and they’ve surrendered at least 12 PPR points in five of their seven games this season. In three of those games, they gave up at least 17. Conklin can easily fill the void this week at your tight end spot. 

Streamer #2: Pat Freiermuth vs DET, 32.3% owned

Freiermuth is available in about 68 percent of ESPN fantasy leagues. He is the top streaming option to go after this week, and he may be worth using a waiver claim on. He has finished as the TE1 two weeks in a row (standard scoring), and he is leading his team in touchdown receptions during that span with three. Not only is he finding the end zone, but he’s seen at least six targets in each of his last three games. During that span, the rookie has hauled in 16 receptions for 145 yards, generating 48.5 PPR points. His Steelers take on the only winless team in the NFL this week. Detroit finds themselves in the middle of the pack defending tight ends this season, but his matchups against the Browns and Bears didn’t look great on paper, and we saw what he did against them. Expect his great play to continue this week, as he should draw double-digit fantasy points once again. 

D/ST

Streamer #1: Philadelphia Eagles at DEN, 8.7% owned

The streaming options at the D/ST position aren’t great this week, but we can’t control the NFL schedule. Philadelphia is one of the most enticing defenses to plugin this week. They struggle against pass-happy teams, but they take on a Denver team that loves to run the ball. The magic number to look for from a streaming defense is usually around seven points, and the Broncos have allowed at least seven fantasy points to team defenses in four of their nine games this season. The Eagles, on the other hand, have generated that point total in four of their nine games as well this year. Don’t expect double-digit fantasy points from the Eagles’ defense this week, but it isn’t out of reach by any means. 

Streamer #2: Tennessee Titans vs NO, 8.0% owned

Although the Eagles are a defense to target if you are streaming the D/ST position this week, try to snatch the Titans defense first. They’ve been on a tear lately, and they are making good offenses look foolish the last three weeks. Tennessee has produced three straight games of at least 12 fantasy points against the Chiefs, Colts, and Rams. Now they take on a struggling Saints offense that will look to rely on both Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian at quarterback. New Orleans has given up at least six fantasy points to opposing team defenses in all but two games this season. With the way Tennessee’s defense is playing right now, don’t be surprised if they produce at least 12 fantasy points for the fourth game in a row in Week 10. 

BONUS

Deep Stream: Albert Okwuegbunam vs PHI, 3.6% owned

This one is a STRETCH, but that’s why it’s called a “deep stream.” Okwuegbunam has played well since missing Weeks 5-7. In the last two weeks combined, he has hauled in seven of his eight targets for 59 yards. Although Noah Fant is expected back for Week 10, Okwuegbunam has a good chance at seeing more production. The last time the two played together (Week 8), Okwuegbunam outproduced him (6.4 PPR points to 2.8). The Broncos take on the Eagles this week, and Philadelphia has allowed the MOST fantasy points to tight ends through nine weeks. BOLD PREDICTION: Okwuegbunam finds the end zone for the first time this season here in Week 10, generating at least 10 PPR points. Fingers crossed.
