Week 5 fantasy tight end rankings: Top TE streamers, starts

It's not really shocking news that Trey McBride is the top tight end in fantasy football this season. And it probably isn't a stretch to guess George Kittle is No. 2.

But after that, things get interesting. Would you believe the third-best tight end in fantasy so far (PPR scoring) has been the Saints' Juwan Johnson?

The 30-year-old veteran has been remarkably consistent, with double-digit fantasy points in all four games. And only Kittle (with four) has more receiving touchdowns among tight ends. Look for Johnson to keep things rolling in Week 5 against the Vikings.
