Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Tight Ends

Evan Engram (JAC): 24% rostered

• Next opponents: @IND, NYG, DEN
• True value: $3
• Desperate need: $5
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Engram is coming off a game in which he handled a 21.2% target share with a season-high in receiving yards (69). While Engram hasn’t been efficient (27th in yards per route run), his 70% route participation entering Week 6 and upcoming matchups make him an appealing waiver target at tight end. His next three opponents are 28th, 22nd and 16th in DVOA (per Football Outsiders) against TEs. With a nearly full-time role and good matchups upcoming, Engram could easily find his way into the top 12 in each of the next three weeks.

Hayden Hurst (CIN): 29% rostered

• Next opponents: @NO, ATL, @CLE
• True value: $3
• Desperate need: $5
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Hurst entered Week 6 with top-12 marks at the tight end position in targets (12th), routes run (eighth), route participation (12th), and red zone targets (10th). Volume, routes and high-value usage: These are the building blocks for a streamer tight end.

Hunter Henry (NE): 38% rostered

• Next opponents: @CLE, CHI, @NYJ
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Henry shouldn’t be a big-ticket item for your squad, but his role should be fantastic as long as Jonnu Smith is out. In Week 6, Henry played 98% of the snaps, seeing a 23.8% target share and 95.2% route participation. He finished second on the team with 54 receiving yards.

Stash candidates: Taysom Hill, Cade Otton, Greg Dulcich

Analysis: Hill is a stash and nothing more. Yes, he has tight-end eligibility and rattled off 112 rushing yards with nine carries against the Seahawks. This type of production is more fluke than substance. Hill only ran three routes and played on 33% of the snaps in Week 6. Don’t chase box scores and fantasy points. Chase usage. Hill could see a spike in it moving forward, and with his raw physical talent, he’s worth a stash to find out.

Otton came off the bench with Cameron Brate out (concussion) to play 93.6% of the snaps with an 88.4% route participation and 13.4% target share. As a possible every-down option in a Tom Brady-led offense, Otton is a stash candidate. He isn’t higher on this list because as soon as Brate is back, his role likely becomes split or fully evaporates.

Dulcich should be nearing a return in the coming weeks. This Denver passing attack is yearning for a consistent third option. Albert Okwuegbunam has been a bust to this point. With five of Denver’s next seven opponents ranking 17th or lower in DVOA (per Football Outsiders) against tight ends, Dulcich could enter the streaming conversation with the upside to become a weekly starter.
