The streamers below are earning more work than their roster percentages suggest, while the sits carry hidden risk.Here is Week 10’s Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Tight Ends:Week 10 Start ‘EmGary A. Vasquez-Imagn ImagesTyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams at Arizona CardinalsWatch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial)The Rams’ passing game is about to change. Higbee led the tight ends against Washington with an 80% snap share, a 78% route share and a 12% target share, while Puka Nacua accounted for 46% of the targets and is expected to be out for an extended period. Higbee has averaged 12.1 half-PPR points in the three games he saw at least six targets. More vacated looks should push him past that threshold. Treat him as a high-end streamer.Chig Okonkwo, Washington Commanders at New York GiantsOkonkwo keeps climbing in Washington’s offense. He led the Commanders with six catches for 57 yards on seven targets last week and tied for the team lead with 34 routes run. Over his last four games, he has 19 catches for 218 yards and double-digit fantasy points in three of them. He is still rostered in only 22% of Yahoo leagues, which makes him a valuable add. Start him as a TE1 in most formats if Jayden Daniels stays healthy.A.J. Barner, Seattle Seahawks at Las Vegas RaidersBarner has gained a bigger role since Drew Lock replaced Sam Darnold. He scored a touchdown and added a one-yard rushing score against Arizona, and his versatility is giving him Taysom Hill-like usage. Las Vegas has allowed eight receiving touchdowns to tight ends through eight games and 14 fantasy points per game to the position, the fifth-most in the league. He is an unusually good touchdown bet for a player rostered in 10% of Yahoo leagues. Don’t expect a repeat of his 15-point PPR day, but the matchup supports a start.Week 10 Sit ‘EmSam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesMike Gesicki, Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh SteelersGesicki scored in five straight games before Week 9, but his role changes weekly. In his last six games, he has exceeded three targets only once, and his route share has been inconsistent. A plus matchup doesn’t change the fact that he needs a touchdown to be useful. Look elsewhere if you can.Greg Dulcich, Miami Dolphins at Indianapolis ColtsDulcich was a popular streamer last week and finished with two catches for 14 yards against Detroit. Some analysts still see him as a streaming option because the Dolphins could stay competitive with the Colts. But one disappointing game isn’t enough to restore confidence in his role, and he isn’t a safe start. Let someone else test whether the bounce-back is real.Darren Waller, Carolina Panthers at New Orleans SaintsWaller’s appeal is real. He caught eight passes for 90 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets last week, and the Saints allow 13.5 fantasy points per game to tight ends, the seventh-most in the league. But he had only two targets in each of the three games before that. That makes last week look more like an outlier than a new baseline. Use him only in deeper leagues where you have fewer alternatives.Related: Commanders-Giants Fantasy Football Week 10 Start ‘Em, Sit ‘EmRelated: NFL Fantasy Football Week 10 2026 Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em: Wide Receiver
