Fantasy Football Week 3 was filled with underperforming players and the things we hate most, injuries. However, as the season continues, I will keep hunting down Tight End gems for us.
Before we dive in, double-check your waivers for the following players in case they are available:
Juwan Johnson (An Article Favorite), Jake Ferguson, Zach Ertz, Harold Fannin

Week 4 Tight End Sleepers and Streamers
Streamers
Hunter Henry, New England Patriots
Hunter Henry reminded everyone he’s still got juice, finishing Week 3 as the overall TE3. He torched the Steelers for 8 catches, 90 yards, and 2 scores on 11 targets — good for a 30.6% target share. That’s a huge bump from Weeks 1 and 2, where he didn’t crack 20%.
This was also the second time in three weeks he’s been a difference-maker. He opened the season with 66 yards on 8 targets, but Week 2 was a dud (1 catch, 9 yards). Consistency has always been the issue with Henry, but he’s clearly Drake Maye’s most trustworthy target early on.
Henry played 81% of snaps in Week 3 — the highest of any Patriot skill player — so his role is locked in. Now he gets the Panthers, who have been a favorable matchup for tight ends. He’s firmly on the streaming radar and can be trusted as a low-end TE1 heading into Week 4.
Chigoziem Okonkwo, Tennessee Titans
The box score doesn’t scream breakout (5 catches, 66 yards, 9.1 fantasy points), but this was Chig’s best showing of 2025. He’s quietly putting together a rock-solid usage profile:
-
16%+ target share in every game (17.8% season-long, TE13).
-
Back-to-back weeks with at least 6 targets.
-
Season-high 66 yards in Week 3.
The downside? His average depth of target is just 4.0 yards, and he hasn’t seen a single red-zone look. That caps the ceiling, especially with rookie QB play. Still, the floor is stabilizing — especially in PPR leagues.
The Texans are up next, a neutral matchup, but Brenton Strange just posted 6/61 against them. If you’re streaming, Chig is a safe bet for catches even if the scoring upside is limited.

Sleepers
Oronde Gadsden II, Los Angeles Chargers
Welcome to the NFL. Gadsden finally got on the field with Will Dissly sidelined, and he made the most of it: 7 targets, 5 catches, 46 yards. He only ran 28% of routes, but here’s what stood out:
-
Targeted on 47% of routes.
-
Earned 4 downfield looks (10+ yards) and 2 red-zone targets, including one in the end zone.
-
Matched Ladd McConkey and Omarion Hampton for a 15.2% target share in his debut.
That kind of usage profile is gold for a rookie tight end. The Chargers lead the league in pass rate over expectation (+14.2%), which means opportunities are available even with a crowded offense. If Dissly sits again, Gadsden has sneaky streamer appeal against the Giants.
Mason Taylor, New York Jets
We’re still in stash territory here, but Taylor is trending up. He caught 4 of 6 targets for 18 yards in Week 3, not flashy, but it’s growth.
The second-round rookie is getting more involved, and if the Jets’ season continues to unravel, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the staff lean into developing him. He’s not startable yet, but if you’re in a deep league, he’s worth keeping tabs on.
