START ‘EM

Hunter Henry kind of got it going last week with his first touchdown reception of the season. Is he going to start getting more targets from Philip Rivers?

Henry has been one of the biggest fantasy disappointments this season and was likely dropped in a large amount of leagues as a result. A lot of the struggling is likely going hand-in-hand with the Chargers being 0-4 on the year, but Henry hasn’t been a shoe-in at the tight end spot.

This week, however, Henry is someone I’d be eyeing if you need a tight end. The winless Chargers will be traveling to the winless Giants and that team is just as bad as Los Angeles is.

The Giants were supposed to have a really good defense this year, but it hasn’t necessarily worked out that way for the G-Men. Per Michael Fabiano of NFL.com,

"After four weeks, no team has allowed more receiving yards (77.3 YPG), touchdowns (five) or PPR points (21.98 PPG) than these G-Men."

That right there is why you should take a chance and start Hunter Henry this week. He has the perfect match-up and could finally break through for his fantasy owners.
