Evan Engram
New York Giants @
Kansas City Chiefs
This week with all of the injuries that the Giants have in the passing game TE Evan Engram may be in store for more targets. With how bad the Chiefs defense has been this season is only another positive for Engram this week. The Chiefs have given up an average of 82 receiving yards per game to opposing TEs this season. They have given up a top 10 TE finish in 3 of the 7 games that they have played this season. The Chiefs have given up an average of 17.36 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 28th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Hunter Henry
New England Patriots @
Los Angeles Chargers
The past few weeks it looks like the Patriots TE to have been starting is Hunter Henry. Henry has scored a touchdown in each of his last four games. The Chargers have given up an average of 78 receiving yards per game to opposing TEs this season. They have given up a top 10 TE in 5 of the 6 games that they have played in this season. The Chargers have given up an average of 19.27 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 31st ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Bench ‘EM
Mike Gesicki
Miami Dolphins @
Buffalo Bills
Gesicki has been on a hot streak lately but that may end this week. The reason is he is facing a tough Bills defense who shut down the Dolphins offense the last time that these teams met in Week 2. The Bills have given up an average of 37 receiving yards per game to opposing TEs this season. They have given up a top 10 TE finished in 2 of the 6 games that they have played this season. The Bills have given up an average of 8.75 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 8th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Ross Dwelley
San Francisco 49ers @
Chicago Bears
Since the 49ers lost TE George Kittle to injury the 49ers TEs have been nonexistent in the offense. Some of the problem is the 49ers have used the TE position more of a blocker since they have to run the ball more due to injuries in the passing game. The Bears have given up an average of 36 receiving yards per game to opposing TEs this season. They have given up a top 10 TE finish in 1 of the 7 games that they have played this season. The Bears have given up an average of 7.40 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 3rd ranked defense at defending the TE position.
