The tight end position has changed in recent seasons. It used to be all about Travis Kelce, but the chasing pack and younger players have taken over.
The strategy is simple: grab a top fantasy football TE who will deliver each week, or constantly look out for who to stream each week and play the waiver wire. The dream? Find a player you grab in the late rounds that you can ride for the entire season in a breakout year.
Quarterbacks to Target in Fantasy Football Drafts
Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills
Ideally, you don’t need to end up streaming tight end. Instead, you find an effective week-to-week option who is involved in the offense and has scoring upside.

A player that fits that role for me is Dalton Kincaid, who finished second on the team in targets and receptions. There might not be the same week-to-week upside with the way the Bills share the ball with scoring opportunities. But getting 75 targets in this offense in just 13 games can’t be overlooked — especially in a Josh Allen-led offense without a true primary receiver.
Tucker Kraft, Green Bay Packers
Tucker Kraft is being overlooked in fantasy rankings, as he is outside of the top-12 at the position. Which makes it reasonably easy to say “I’ll opt for another guy instead.”

But when you look at that group where he is ranked, it’s such a tight grouping that an extra score would throw him up into that top-12 group. The Packers don’t have a lot of big body receivers on the roster either, so Kraft has plenty of upside for fantasy this season- especially with his early schedule to start the season.
