SIT ‘EM
Projected: 6. Tight End. Chargers. Hunter Henry. 4. player. 13
Was there anyone more disappointing in fantasy football than Hunter Henry last weekend? The Chargers tight end gave his owners ZERO points in week one and he had no targets against the Broncos. Ouch!
We can place the blame on the Denver defense for keeping Henry out of the ball game, but it’s tough to be confident in starting the Bolts tight end this week for fantasy owners. The match-up is more favorable for sure, as the Chargers will host the Miami Dolphins, but I’d advise you to keep Henry on the bench.
Henry was one of Philip Rivers‘ favorite targets last year, especially in the red zone. The then-rookie had eight touchdowns, but didn’t even get a look from his quarterback in week one.
While the two will eventually pick up steam in the receiving game, any time a player gives you zero points, you pretty much have to bench him and look for better options next week.
