SIT ‘EM

Hunter Henry hasn’t gotten much going this year for the Los Angeles Chargers and I wouldn’t expect that to continue on Thanksgiving against the Cowboys. Dallas held Philadelphia’s top tight end Zach Ertz to just two receptions and eight yards a week ago.

Dallas has been solid against the tight end position and with Henry not making a huge impact as it is, I’d keep him stashed on the bench this week. It’s tough though, as there just aren’t a lot of reliable tight ends in the league this year.

The Chargers have to travel on a short week of rest and that’s going to make it difficult for them to pull out a victory in the Lone Star State on Thanksgiving Day. Henry was Philip Rivers‘ third most targeted receiver last week, but he only had two receptions for 25 yards.

Hunter Henry has not found the end zone since week five against the Giants. He’s due for a touchdown, but it might not come this week against the Cowboys.
