Hunter Henry
Los Angeles Chargers @
New Orleans Saints
Since QB Justin Herbert took over it has helped Hunter Henry’s fantasy value. Henry is top 10 in targets and routes run amount TEs. He is getting at least seven targets a game from QB Justin Herbert in the pass game. Henry faces a Saints defense that has given up a touchdown reception to every TE that they have faced this season. The Saints have given up an average of 24.25 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 31st ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Mo Alie-Cox
Indianapolis Colts @
Cleveland Browns
This season it seemed like it was going to be Jack Doyle that QB Philip Rivers would target but it turns out it is Mo Alie-Cox. Alie-Cox has been getting looks from Philip Rivers in the red zone and has scored in two straight games which is good for his value going forward. The Browns have given up an average of 19.88 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 29th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Bench ‘EM
Austin Hooper
Cleveland Browns vs Indianapolis Colts
Last week Austin Hooper found the end zone but this week he may not do that again. He was facing the Cowboys who are one of the worst defenses this season. This week he now faces a Colts defense that is one of the best defenses this season. Indianapolis is allowing the fewest fantasy points (4.5 PPG) to TEs. The Colts have given up an average of 4.53 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 1st ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Kyle Rudolph
Minnesota Vikings @
Seattle Seahawks
This season TE Kyle Rudolph has not been that involved in the Vikings passing game. Rudolph has not had more than two receptions in any game so far this season. Another thing that is hurting Rudolph is him and Irv Smith Jr. are splitting the snaps at TE. The Seahawks have given up an average of 8.53 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 8th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
