Jonnu Smith has a TD catch in two straight games, making him an excellent streaming option this week
Is the tight end position an ugly sight to see in fantasy football this season or what? And things don’t get any easier here in Week 11. When you go to set your roster and you look at your tight end spot and see that your best option is David Njoku or Jared Cook or Vance McDonald, it should send a shiver down your spine.
There are six teams on bye this week, so that means no Rob Gronkowski, not that he has done a whole lot these past few weeks. It also means no George Kittle, which does hurt, or Njoku, who has been trending in the right direction.
So if you need to stream a tight end this week, which I'm sure many fantasy owners have had to do throughout this season, use these rankings as a guide to make the right decision.
