Fantasy Football TE Streamers & Waiver Wire Targets (Week 2)

Fantasy Football TE Streamers & Waiver Wire Targets (Week 2)

Week 2 of fantasy football is here, and you may already be regretting the tight end you drafted. Perhaps your tight end is coming back from injury, such as George Kittle or Tucker Kraft, and their role in the early weeks is uncertain. Maybe you don’t like Kyle Pitts‘ situation with Cooper Rush.

The tight end pool is often very shallow in fantasy football leagues, but there are always options available on waivers. One way to navigate the position is to stream tight ends and work the waiver wire.

fantasy football waiver wire planner

      Week 2 Fantasy Football Tight End Streamers & Waiver Wire Pickups

      In this weekly article, we will help fantasy managers find low-rostered tight ends who could put up big numbers this week.

      The following tight ends are rostered in fewer than 60% of Yahoo! Leagues.

      Hunter Henry (TE – NE) vs. PIT | 54% Rostered

      Veteran Hunter Henry’s numbers were nothing special in Week 1, but there is reason to believe there could be much more opportunity coming in the next four weeks.

      Henry caught all three of his targets for 26 yards on opening night, and finished tied for third on the team in receptions and yards. He only had a 9% target share, and Eli Raridon caught a touchdown, but the loss of A.J. Brown opens many doors.

      Brown suffered a high-ankle sprain and is now on injured reserve (IR). His absence leaves a major hole in Drake Maye’s passing game. Henry was second on the Patriots with 87 targets last season, and he had 22 red-zone looks, so we know he has an established connection with Drake Maye.

      With Pittsburgh in town and Brown out of the way, there is now a clear path for 5-7 potential targets for Henry.

      Kenyon Sadiq (TE – NYJ) vs. GB | 14% Rostered

      Rookie Kenyon Sadiq is another player whose box score doesn’t make you stand up and cheer, but his upside and usage are worth watching. He caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in his NFL debut and added a three-yard rushing touchdown on his only carry. Sadiq played only 42% of the Jets’ offensive snaps but earned a 12.5% target share.

      The Jets also found two ways to use him near the goal line: As a red-zone target and as a ball-carrier. His athleticism and ball-handling will allow the Jets to continue to use him in creative ways. Sadiq was an uber-athlete coming out of Oregon, which is why the Jets took him in the first round.

      That workload is even more encouraging considering his preseason circumstances. Sadiq missed valuable time after suffering a setback following hernia surgery, so Week 1 was literally his first NFL game after an interrupted offseason.

      The Jets appear to be easing him into the offense rather than immediately giving him a full-time role, so his 42% snap share should increase. For fantasy managers willing to look at Week 2 (Green Bay allowed a 4-36-1 line to T.J. Hockenson in Week 1) and beyond, Sadiq is particularly interesting because he could be growing into an expanded role.

      Mike Gesicki (TE – CIN) @ HOU | 2% Rostered

      Mike Gesicki went largely undrafted in 2026. His rostership will shoot way up after his Week 1 performance against Tampa Bay. He caught five out of seven targets for 78 yards and a touchdown, leading the Bengals in all those categories through the air.

      Gesicki only played about 34% of the snaps, but he was targeted on seven of his 17 routes, primarily out of the slot. Did he take targets that would have normally gone to Ja’Marr Chase? We will see, but it won’t cost you much on the waiver wire to find out.

      This week, Gesicki and the Bengals get a Houston defense that was destroyed by Dalton Kincaid. Kincaid caught five passes for 130 yards, leading all tight ends in receiving yards and he had a 20.7% target share.

      We don’t expect Gesicki to put up similar numbers, especially with the other playmakers on his team. But with Gesicki’s usage in Week 1, combined with Houston’s linebacker coverage being the only mediocre part of the defense, he could be in line for another top-12 finish.

      Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Replacements to Target

      Deebo Samuel (WR – SF): 48% Rostered

      • Next Opponents: MIA, ARI, DEN
      • True Value: $7
      • Desperate Need: $14
      • Budget-Minded: $4

      Analysis: Enthusiasm for rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling, who looked sensational in the preseason, tempered interest in Deebo Samuel during fantasy draft season and left him with only 48% rostership in Yahoo leagues, even though Samuel quietly had 72 catches for Washington last season and finished WR25 in PPR scoring. Now that Stribling has a sprained deltoid ligament and is expected to miss at least a month, Samuel is likely to play a prominent role in a very good San Francisco offense for the foreseeable future.

      Samuel had six catches for 48 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in the 49ers’ 27-7 Week 1 win over the Rams in Australia. He also added a 12-yard run and had a pair of kickoff returns for 74 yards.

      A versatile weapon who’s intimately familiar with Shanahan’s offense, Samuel is a worthwhile fantasy asset. Shanahan hasn’t been shy about using Samuel as a runner — he had 1,143 rushing yards and 20 touchdown runs over his first six seasons with the 49ers — and Samuel might be part of Shanahan’s Christian McCaffrey preservation plan.

      Devaughn Vele (WR – NO): 7% Rostered

      • Next Opponents: @BAL, LV, ATL
      • True Value: $4
      • Desperate Need: $8
      • Budget-Minded: $2

      Analysis: The Saints won’t run 90 offensive plays or have 56 pass attempts every week, as happened Sunday in their 31-30 overtime loss in Detroit. So, yes, Devaughn Vele‘s 7-69-1 performance on nine targets was driven by a bizarre, nitro-fueled game script.

      But Vele’s usage was encouraging. He played 82 of those 90 offensive snaps and was on the field along with wide receiver Chris Olave when New Orleans was in 2-WR sets. Vele is clearly going to get a lot of playing time until the Saints get first-round rookie Jordyn Tyson back from a hamstring injury.

      Vele is worth your attention this week if you’re looking to plug a hole at receiver.

      Dontayvion Wicks (WR – PHI): 16% Rostered

      • Next Opponents: @TEN, @CHI, LAR
      • True Value: $3
      • Desperate Need: $6
      • Budget-Minded: $1

      Analysis: Dontayvion Wicks had only two catches in Philadelphia’s 24-22 Week 1 win over Washington, but they were both impactful. One went for 64 yards. The other went for nine yards and a touchdown.

      Wicks had four targets in Week 1, but Jalen Hurts threw only 25 passes. Wicks’ snap and route counts, not his target count, tell the tale of his involvement. He played only two fewer snaps and ran two fewer routes than DeVonta Smith, who led Eagles receivers in both categories. Wicks played 15 more snaps than first-round rookie Makai Lemon.

      A good route runner who has struggled with drop issues at times early in his career, Wicks is a worthwhile addition with favorable matchups coming against the Titans and Bears the next two weeks.

      Adonai Mitchell (WR – IND): 16% Rostered

      • Next Opponents: GB, @DET, CHI
      • True Value: $2
      • Desperate Need: $5
      • Budget-Minded: $1

      Analysis: A sneaky but potentially useful addition, Adonai Mitchell has intriguing upside in the coming weeks thanks to a run of favorable matchups.

      Mitchell has been an inefficient receiver, averaging 5.9 yards per target over 33 career games entering the 2026 season. But in Week 1, Mitchell averaged 20.0 yards per target, hauling in all three of his targets for 60 yards in the Jets’ win over the Titans. Mitchell had a 68.7% snap share but was usually on the field with Garrett Wilson when the Jets were in 2-WR sets. And with rookie Omar Cooper Jr. sustaining an ankle injury, Mitchell figures to get plenty of snaps in the weeks to come (although Mitchell was ahead of Cooper in the Jets’ wide receiver pecking order anyway).

      The Jets face NFC North teams in the next three weeks, and all of them — Green Bay, Detroit and Chicago — have suspect pass defenses, at least until they get some of their injured defenders back.

      Mitchell is 6-foot-2 and has blazing speed. He hasn’t put it all together yet, but the former first-round pick might be worth a bet.

      Khalil Shakir (WR – BUF): 43% Rostered

      • Next Opponents: DET, LAC, NE
      • True Value: $2
      • Desperate Need: $4
      • Budget-Minded: $1

      Analysis: It’s fair to call Khalil Shakir a high-floor, low-ceiling waiver option. He’s a dependable but limited possession receiver.

      But Shakir’s ceiling might be higher than usual in Week 2 thanks to a home matchup with the Lions, who are missing standout safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph. Detroit gave up 410 passing yards and three touchdown passes to Tyler Shough and the Saints on Sunday.

      Denzel Boston (WR – CLE): 28% Rostered

      • Next Opponents: @TB, CAR, PIT
      • True Value: $2
      • Desperate Need: $4
      • Budget-Minded: $1

      Analysis: Denzel Boston scored the Browns’ lone touchdown in their 34-10 Week 1 evisceration at the hands of the Jaguars, diving to haul in a 46-yard touchdown pass from Deshaun Watson in the fourth quarter. Boston led Browns receivers in snaps on Sunday, playing 12 more than fellow rookie KC Concepcion.

      Browns beat writers raved about Boston’s performance in training camp and seemed convinced the second-round rookie is destined to become an NFL stud. But, obviously, Boston and the Browns’ other pass-catchers are facing some fierce headwinds.

      The offensive environment in Cleveland is currently putrid but could rise to a mediocre level once the Browns eventually bench quarterback Deshaun Watson in favor of Shedeur Sanders.

      Boston is more of a wait-and-see addition than a player who can offer immediate help. But if Browns beat writers are to be believed, Boston’s potential is vast.

      Caleb Douglas (WR – MIA): 12% Rostered

      • Next Opponents: @SF, KC, @MIN
      • True Value: $2
      • Desperate Need: $4
      • Budget-Minded: $1

      Analysis: A third-round pick in this year’s draft, Caleb Douglas reportedly had a terrific training camp, and the Dolphins’ season opener made it look as if Douglas might be the team’s No. 1 receiver, albeit on a team with a limited passing game.

      Douglas played 50 of Miami’s 55 offensive snaps on Sunday. He drew seven targets and led the Dolphins with five catches for 94 yards. He averaged 13.4 yards per target.

      Douglas would be a risky Week 2 start against a 49ers defense that did a good job of keeping Rams wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in check in Week 1, but he’s worth a bench spot in midsize and large leagues if you have the roster space.

      Rashod Bateman (WR – BAL): 2% Rostered

      • Next Opponents: NO, @DAL, TEN
      • True Value: $1
      • Desperate Need: $3
      • Budget-Minded: $0

      Analysis: With Zay Flowers sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 1 and rookie Ja’Kobi Lane leaving with a wrist injury, Rashod Bateman could be the Ravens’ de facto No. 1 WR when the Ravens host the Saints in Week 2.

      No. 1 receiver status might not mean much for a team as run-heavy as Baltimore, and Lamar Jackson has peppered his tight ends with targets throughout his career. But Bateman is likely to get a bump in snaps and targets while Flowers and Lane are out.

      Tre Tucker (WR – LV): 36% Rostered

      • Next Opponents: @LAC, @NO, KC
      • True Value: $1
      • Desperate Need: $2
      • Budget-Minded: $0

      Analysis: Tre Tucker had a pedestrian stat line (2-27-0 on four targets) in the Raiders’ Week 1 win over the Dolphins, but he led all Las Vegas receivers in snaps (48) and routes (27).

      It appears Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak is going to run his offense through Ashton Jeanty until the return of star tight end Brock Bowers from a meniscus injury. It’s possible the Raiders might not have a fantasy-relevant wide receiver this season. If they do, it will likely be Tucker, and his chances of fantasy relevance increase with Bowers out.

      DeMario Douglas (WR – NE): 1% Rostered

      • Next Opponents: PIT, @JAX, @BUF
      • True Value: $1
      • Desperate Need: $2
      • Budget-Minded: $0

      Analysis: With A.J. Brown on injured reserve (IR) with a high-ankle sprain, DeMario Douglas could play an enhanced role in the Patriots’ passing game in the coming weeks. New England’s next two opponents, the Steelers and Jaguars, can bring the heat with the pass rush, so Douglas could be an important safety valve for quarterback Drake Maye.

      Douglas had five catches for 20 yards on seven targets in the Patriots’ 13-10 Week 1 loss to the Seahawks. Rostered in only 1% of Yahoo leagues, Douglas is a floor play with limited upside and is only worth consideration in deeper leagues.

      Tre’ Harris (WR – LAC): 4% Rostered

      • Next Opponents: LV, @BUF, @SEA
      • True Value: $1
      • Desperate Need: $1
      • Budget-Minded: $0

      Analysis: Chargers No. 3 receiver Tre’ Harris could be worth a small FAAB bid if the rib injury that Ladd McConkey sustained on Sunday will keep him out for a week or more.

      Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 12-Team, Late Pick (2026)

      Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 12-Team, Late Pick (2026)

      The zero hour is here for fantasy drafts, and the time for messing about is quickly subsiding. All 32 NFL teams have finalized their 53-man rosters and game strategy for Week 1. One team is even already in Australia for their first matchup of the season. It’s about time to get your pens and pencils down and start making decisions. But not without one more fantasy football mock draft to digest.

      We have tested out several different draft strategies over the last few weeks, and this one is as straightforward as it gets — just let the draft come to us. We had the 12th pick in this standard mock draft, which worked out heavily in our favor. The first round provided an opportunity to pair two very strong candidates at the running back position, which we followed up with highly coveted pass-catchers.

      Draft Intel

      Fantasy Football Mock Draft

      1.12: James Cook (RB – BUF)

      James Cook projects to be one of the highest-scoring running backs this season, and to draft him with the last pick in the first round is extremely fortunate. Had this been a PPR league, there would be little to no way we could pair our first- and second-round picks due to their reliance on the passing game.

      Cook projects to rush the ball on nearly 300 plays and accumulate over 1,450 yards on the ground with double-digit touchdowns. Not bad for the last pick in the first round.

      2.01: Chase Brown (RB – CIN)

      Not much of a decision here. In standard leagues, running backs fly off the board. One wrong move, and your starting running backs are Rico Dowdle and Jonathon Brooks. Respectable talents for sure. Just not the kind of players you necessarily want to lead your running back room.

      Chase Brown is one of the more exciting players to roster this year, and projects to finish the season with over 220 fantasy points. Brown ranked 10th amongst running backs last season. We think he could end up closer to fifth this season.

      3.12: DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI)

      Things were getting a little bleak at the wide receiver position, so we felt it was time to grab a WR1 who could be one of the more overlooked fantasy contributors this season. No more A.J. Brown should mean a ton of extra targets for DeVonta Smith, which could lead to higher production.

      Smith finished as the WR25 receiver last season, with 113 targets, 1,008 yards and four touchdowns. With an increase in targets, there’s a solid chance Smith could finish as a top-10 fantasy receiver.

      4.01: Colston Loveland (TE – CHI)

      This was another very easy decision. While we wanted to shore up our receiver room with another wideout, the opportunity to grab Colston Loveland was too good to pass up. Loveland is expected to once again feature heavily in the Bears’ offense, and he has the opportunity to close out the season in the top three among all tight ends.

      Loveland turned 58 receptions into 713 yards last season, while also scoring on six plays. Grabbing a tight end early is always going to be a gamble. However, Loveland’s ceiling is worth the risk.

      5.12: Tony Pollard (RB – TEN)

      We opted for a solid trifecta at running back because Tony Pollard was available (and he can slot into our FLEX spot). Tennessee’s new head coach may want to limit the air yards this season and focus more on the rushing game.

      Cam Ward threw seven interceptions in 17 games last season, while posting the lowest quarterback rating among starting quarterbacks who played at least 10 games (33.2). Pollard rushed for over 1,000 yards last season on only 242 carries. He also played in all 17 games and hasn’t played fewer than 15 in any of his seven seasons.

      6.01: Parker Washington (WR – JAX)

      Our next selection is a swing at a potential value pick who showed flashes of brilliance last season and could grab the reins as the lead receiver for the Jaguars. Parker Washington closed out the season as the WR4, WR6 and WR16 through the last three weeks.

      The young receiver caught 19 passes for 347 yards and two touchdowns over that span. Washington was targeted on at least nine plays over the last three contests. There were other safer options available. However, a possible top-25 receiver at this price makes Washington a solid value.

      7.12: Quentin Johnston (WR – LAC)

      Pairing Parker Washington and Quentin Johnston brings a certain excitement to our wide receiver corps (along with another selection down the road). That’s what fantasy football is all about —drafting players you are eager to see outperform their average draft position (ADP), and getting in on a player a season before their draft stock skyrockets.

      Johnston has to be in the argument for a breakout season with the Chargers bringing in Mike McDaniel as their offensive coordinator. This should give the offense a much-needed shot in the arm and open Johnston up for more targets. The possibility of touchdown regression is real. He scored eight touchdowns in only 14 games last season. Having said that, if he can repeat that success and add around 20 more receptions, the young receiver could wreak havoc this season.

      8.06: Rachaad White (RB – WSH)

      Rachaad White joined the Washington Commanders over the offseason and could take control of what is currently a crowded backfield. He caught 20 passes out of the backfield last season and will no doubt be utilized to create plays off receptions.

      White added 573 yards and four touchdowns on 132 carries. If the volume is there, White would make for a very valuable RB2. As it stands, it looks more likely White will be a serviceable RB3/FLEX.

      9.05: De’Zhaun Stribling (WR – SF)

      De’Zhaun Stribling could be in for a major role given his reliability on the field and the team’s prior injury history. If you’ve been following the Niners’ training camp, some of the adjectives suggest he may be a very special contributor.

      Stribling hauled in 11 passes for over 110 yards in two preseason games, ultimately sealing his role as the No. 2 WR for San Francisco. The Niners kick things off against Los Angeles in a contest taking place on a different continent. Not the best way to start of your NFL. However, the outlook for the season looks bright.

      10.01: Dak Prescott (QB – DAL)

      We decided to wait on quarterback and wound up with just about the best possible outcome. Dak Prescott led the NFL in completions last season (404), while throwing for over 4,500 yards and 30 touchdowns. The veteran quarterback finished last season ranked fifth in fantasy points at the position.

      Even if Prescott doesn’t increase his touchdown production, we still get a top-five or better quarterback option in the 10th round. The Cowboys quarterback averaged 19 fantasy points per game and played all 17 games.

      Kicker & Defense

      12.01: Houston Texans D/ST 

      14.12: Ka’imi Fairbairn (K – HOU)

      We didn’t want to be stuck playing the defensive streaming game on a weekly basis given the size of the league. Houston offers us the opportunity to finish with what could be a top-two defense. Houston and the Los Angeles Rams are the only defenses worth reaching for in drafts. When they come off the board, it’s best to just wait. The Raiders’ defense against the Dolphins is a viable option if you miss out on a top defense.

      The same logic goes for the kicker position. Ka’imi Fairbairn is an elite-level candidate who provides not only volume, but also high-end efficiency. Fairbairn was perfect on 35 attempts from 0-49 yards last season. The Texans kicker scored the most fantasy points of his career last season (160) and has a chance to improve on those numbers due to some improvements on offense.

      Bench Standouts

      Keaton Mitchell (RB – LAC)

      Keaton Mitchell would be one of the fastest additions off the waiver wire if he were somehow to inherit a starting role in what could be a very powerful offense this season. We are just getting the jump on that. Mitchell produced 341 yards and one touchdown on 59 carries last season. Suppose the opportunity for 200+ touches arises; the young running back would be looking at 1,000+ yards.

      Xavier Worthy (WR – KC)

      Xavier Worthy just may wind up being the Chiefs’ No. 1 WR by the year’s end. The only thing certain about Rashee Rice is the uncertainty. Off-field issues continue to derail a very promising talent. That’s where Worthy may benefit if he can prove he is not only reliable on the field but also has the maturity to show off the field.

      Worthy produced 532 yards on 42 receptions in 14 games played last season. Rice is currently the top receiver on the Chiefs and is on schedule to play in Week 1. Should that change for one reason or another in the following weeks, Worthy becomes a must-have receiver.

      16 Players Trending Up & Down (2026 Fantasy Football)

      16 Players Trending Up & Down (2026 Fantasy Football)

      When preparing for your fantasy football drafts, knowing which players to target and which to avoid is important. The amount of information available can be overwhelming, so a great way to condense the data and determine players to draft and others to leave for your leaguemates is to use our expert consensus fantasy football rankings compared to fantasy football average draft position (ADP). In this way, you can identify players the experts are willing to reach for at ADP and others they are not drafting until much later than average. Beyond this, it’s important to keep tabs on preseason rankings risers and fallers. We’ll help you there with this recurring article, where we’ll explore players rising or falling in the rankings as we approach NFL Week 1.

      fantasy football rankings expert consensus

        Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers

        This is the last expert consensus update before the games count, and it captures a wild stretch: Final draft weekend, Labor Day, and one franchise-altering piece of running back news.

        The Story of the Week: The Jacobs and Lloyd Swap

        Josh Jacobs, down 113 spots (RB to the waiver tier). The largest single-week fall we have tracked all summer, and it is entirely real. As recently as last Friday the consensus still had Jacobs inside the top 45 overall, treating his legal charges as an uncertainty rather than a decision. Then on Sunday the NFL placed him on the commissioner’s exempt list, meaning he cannot practice or play to open the season while the league reviews his case, with a suspension still possible on top of that. The consensus caught up all at once, dropping him from a fourth-round pick to an afterthought near pick 155. His Week 1 availability is gone, and his season-long outlook is a genuine unknown.

        MarShawn Lloyd, up 57 spots into the top 90 and up multiple tiers. The mirror image and the biggest riser on the board. With Jacobs sidelined to start the year, Lloyd is the presumed lead back in a good offense, and an explosive camp vaulted him from a late flier into the RB2/RB3 conversation near pick 88. The one caveat worth carrying into your draft: Green Bay traded for Kaleb Johnson right before the news broke and still has Chris Brooks, so Lloyd is the frontrunner rather than a guaranteed workhorse.

        Fantasy Football Risers

        DJ Moore up into the WR26 range. The cleanest non-Green-Bay riser. Moore was traded to Buffalo to be Josh Allen‘s new WR1, a massive quarterback and situation upgrade after a down year in Chicago, and the consensus is moving him up as the target share comes into focus.

        Tony Pollard and D’Andre Swift both climbed into the early-RB2 range. Pollard remains the Titans’ clear lead back, and Swift is coming off a career year as the RB16 in points per game. Notably, Swift’s backfield mate Kyle Monangai slid in the other direction, a sign the consensus sees the Chicago job tilting back toward Swift.

        Alec Pierce and Josh Downs both ticked up as the Colts’ pass-catching roles firm up, and rookie receivers Matthew Golden and KC Concepcion continued their steady summer climbs. De’Zhaun Stribling and Romeo Doubs kept rising as their new-team roles clarify, and Matthew Stafford, healthy and coming off an MVP-caliber season, moved up the quarterback board. Mike Washington Jr. also gained ground as the Jeanty handcuff.

        Fantasy Football Fallers

        Isiah Pacheco, down 27 spots. The most significant faller outside of Jacobs. Pacheco lands in Detroit as a change-of-pace back and handcuff to Jahmyr Gibbs, a reduced role, and he is currently dealing with an MCL issue on top of three years of health concerns. Lower ceiling, real injury risk.

        Kyle Monangai and Tyrone Tracy Jr. both fell, Monangai due to injury and as the Chicago backfield tilts to Swift and Tracy as the Najee Harris signing continues to muddy the Giants’ picture.
