Darren Waller (Dolphins):: Increasing playing time and end-zone target share make him a viable start.

Mason Taylor (Jets):: Potential top target with a favorable matchup against the Panthers.

Kyle Pitts (Falcons):: A good streaming option against the 49ers, especially if Darnell Mooney is out.

Dallas Goedert: Goedert has seen a significant increase in targets over the past two games and has been a reliable scorer. The Vikings present a tough matchup for wide receivers, potentially funneling more targets his way.

Harold Fannin Jr.: Fannin Jr. has seen increased usage, playing a high percentage of offensive snaps and garnering a significant number of targets. With David Njoku's injury, Fannin Jr. becomes an even more attractive option against a favorable Miami defense.

Evan Engram: Engram has been a top target for Bo Nix and faces a Giants defense that struggles against tight ends and slot receivers, where Engram runs a high percentage of his routes.

Darren Waller: Waller's playing time has increased, and he has become a primary end-zone target for the Dolphins. The Browns have allowed a significant number of touchdowns to tight ends.

Mason Taylor: With Garrett Wilson potentially out, Taylor could become the top target for the Jets against a vulnerable Panthers defense.

Kyle Pitts: Pitts could be a good streaming option, especially if Darnell Mooney is out, against a 49ers defense that has struggled against slot receivers.

T.J. Hockenson: Hockenson's production has declined since Jordan Addison's return, and he faces a tough matchup against the Eagles.

Hunter Henry: Henry's targets have decreased, as the Patriots prioritize wide receivers. He faces a Titans defense that is decent against tight ends.

Juwan Johnson: Johnson's volume has decreased, and he faces competition for targets. His floor is low, and his ceiling is no longer worth the risk.

AJ Barner: Barner's target share is inconsistent, and he faces a tough matchup against the Texans.

Theo Johnson: Johnson is touchdown-reliant and faces a Broncos defense that is tough against tight ends.
