Week 15 Tight End Streamers
Theo Johnson – New York Giants
Don’t let the Giants’ Week 14 bye make you forget about Theo Johnson. His 42/456/5 rookie line puts him right in the streaming mix, and the usage is trending exactly how we want. Johnson has seen 8 targets in back-to-back games with Jaxson Dart at QB. In the last five games, he’s given you 10.7 or more PPR points. The Giants take on the Commanders, who have been very giving for fantasy offenses. Washington ranks 30th vs the pass and is a top 5 for TEs in fantasy points allowed. They also allowed three touchdowns by TEs alone in Week 14 to Minnesota.
He’s a plug-and-play TE1 streamer with touchdown upside this week.
Colby Parkinson – Los Angeles Rams
Matthew Stafford is playing some of his best football, and Parkinson is one of the beneficiaries. After looking like a wasted contract last season and Tyler Higbee on the IR, he has turned into a legit scoring threat. Parkinson has scored 4 TDs in his last 5 games. In Week 14, he caught three catches for 32 yards along with a TD on 5 targets.
The Rams take on the Detroit Lions in Week 15, which is a solid matchup. In Week 16, he’s a phenomenal match-up on paper for TEs against Seattle.
Mason Taylor – New York Jets
Taylor delivered a usable 5 catches for 51 yards on 8 targets in Week 14 and gets another green-light matchup this week. Jaguars are No. 3 in fantasy points allowed to TEs. Target volume has been stable regardless of QB.
Whether it’s Tyrod Taylor, Justin Fields, or Brady Cook under center, Taylor’s role survives. The matchup makes him a viable streamer.
Week 15 Tight End Sleepers
Mike Gesicki – Cincinnati Bengals
Gesicki finally flashed the ceiling we’ve been waiting for 6 catches, 86 yards, TD vs. Buffalo.
If Tee Higgins remains out, Joe Burrow will keep Gesicki involved as an explosive secondary option. Baltimore is a tougher matchup, however, between the volume & potential high scoring environment, Gesicki is firmly in play.
Ben Sinnott – Washington Commanders
Brutal news for Zach Ertz — a torn ACL ends his season and possibly his career. That opens the door for rookie Ben Sinnott, a 2024 second-round pick the Commanders once viewed as a future building block. The unfortunate reality is that Sinnott has only seen one game above a 50% snap share.
But opportunity is opportunity. Sinnott should step into the starting role, and any TE with routes and red-zone chances has value.
This is more of a stash and see situation.
