10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 6

C.J. Uzomah, TE, Cincinnati Bengals

Yahoo Ownership: 26%

Tight end is an absolute mess. If you didn't get one of the few players who get the opportunity to contribute on a weekly basis, then you're scrambling to find fill-ins.

One way to do that is by playing matchups, exactly like you'd do when streaming quarterbacks or defenses. If you're doing that, then there has been no better team to stream tight ends against in 2018 than the Steelers.

Through five weeks, the Steelers have given up an NFL-worst 40 receptions and 424 yards to tight ends (to be fair, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a bye and aren't far behind), including 9 catches for 77 yards to Austin Hooper in Week 5.

Uzomah caught both of his targets for 43 yards in Week 5. Tyler Kroft had one look that he didn't pull in, and he injured his foot, forcing him to leave the game. If he has to miss Week 6, Uzomah should have even more opportunity.

Some people have already caught on to the potential here. When Tyler Eifert went down, Uzomah saw an ownership spike and is now owned in 26% of Yahoo leagues. Be one of the people who makes that number climb once again this week.
