Should I Stream Juwan Johnson For Fantasy Football?

Johnson had a solid Week 1 performance in the win over the Carolina Panthers. He had two receptions for 26 receiving yards and a touchdown, scoring 9.6 half-point PPR fantasy points. Unfortunately, Johnson laid an egg in Week 2, totaling zero fantasy points against the Dallas Cowboys.

The elite TE’s aren’t paying off but just ask anyone who’s “streaming TE’s” how that’s worked for them.

They probably added Juwan Johnson post-WK1 & started him WK2…

Then he probably scored 0 so they added Hunter Henry post-WK2 & started him WK3…

It’s a nightmare.

The veteran faces the Eagles on Sunday in a massive matchup for both teams. Philadelphia has held tight ends to only five receptions for 57 receiving yards and 8.2 fantasy points over the first two weeks. Last week, they held Kyle Pitts to only 3.5 fantasy points.

Fantasy players should only stream Johnson as a desperation option in deeper leagues this week.

Should I Stream Brenton Strange For Fantasy Football?

Strange made his first career start last week after Evan Engram suffered a hamstring injury during pregame warm-ups. The former Penn State star had a solid performance, totaling three receptions for 65 receiving yards and eight half-point PPR fantasy points. Strange will make his second consecutive start Monday night, with Engram expected to miss the game with the hamstring injury.

The former Penn State star has an appealing matchup this week against the Bills. Buffalo has surrendered at least seven receptions for 42 receiving yards and 7.7 fantasy points to tight ends in both games this year.

Fantasy players should make Strange one of their top priorities off the waiver wire, especially if they need a replacement for Engram or David Njoku.

Should I Stream Taysom Hill For Fantasy Football?

Hill is the ultimate wild in fantasy football. He plays almost every position on offense. Yet, Hill has weeks where he scores 20 or more fantasy points and others where the veteran puts up a goose egg.

Unfortunately, Hill left the Week 2 win victory with a chest injury. He is questionable to play tomorrow against the Eagles after being a limited practice participant over the past two days.

Fantasy players should avoid streaming Hill in Week 3. His matchup against the Eagles isn’t ideal, and the veteran likely won’t be near 100% healthy until next week.
