As far as players routinely on the start-sit bubble, Austin Hooper might be the best of that crowd this week. The Falcons TE has played fairly well, and the Panthers have been one of the worst teams against TEs all year despite playing better recently. It also helps that Hooper hit double-digits in fantasy points the first time he faced Carolina this season, so feel free to plug him in as a starter.

Other streaming options include Ian Thomas (vs. Falcons), C.J. Uzomah (@ Browns), Blake Jarwin (vs. Buccaneers), and Matt LaCosse (@ Raiders). None of those names are particularly inspiring – in fact, most started the year as backups or third-string options, at best – but they all should have a chance to catch a TD in easier matchups. Feel free to trust one in the fantasy championship game if you need help at the TE position.
Note: We will update these rankings and add analysis during the week, so check back often.
