Week 7 Fantasy Football Tight End Streamers and Waiver Wire Targets

As the 2026 fantasy football season reaches its seventh week, tight end remains a challenging position for fantasy managers. Injuries and inconsistent performances have led many to seek assistance from the waiver wire.

Several tight ends are showing promise, including T.J. Hockenson, who is currently rostered in 32% of leagues. His involvement in Minnesota's passing game, with a 20.3% target share, makes him a strong candidate for those needing a reliable option. Tyler Higbee, at 34% rostered, has consistently received at least four targets in recent games, providing a stable role in the Rams' offense.

Chigoziem Okonkwo, with only 16% rostered, is gaining attention after productive outings and could benefit from increased targets due to injuries in Washington. Michael Mayer, despite being 8% rostered, has shown potential with solid performances, although his role may fluctuate with teammate Brock Bowers. These tight ends could offer valuable contributions as fantasy managers navigate the season.
