Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Brock Bowers

Wednesday, September 18, 5:18 PM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry's strong Week 2 showing has thrust him back into fantasy consideration for Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets. After a quiet season opener, he bounced back with one of the best games of his career last week, catching eight of 12 targets for 109 yards. He didn't find the end zone, but more importantly, he showed off a spectacular rapport with quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Henry might not be able to replicate his Week 2 stat line in Week 3, but he should at least perform enough to stay on the fantasy radar, especially against a Jets defense allowing the 11th-most receptions to tight ends so far. He ranks as a fringe TE1 option heading into Thursday's primetime AFC East showdown.

Las Vegas Raiders first-round rookie tight end Brock Bowers was a highlight, snagging six balls for 58 yards and showcasing his immediate impact with a team-high eight targets in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Bowers' biggest play of the game on Sunday was a 26-yard reception off a play-action pass. His integration into the offense looks promising, especially with his ability to find space in the middle. Bowers is shaping up to be a valuable TE option, particularly in PPR leagues. Bowers will look to build on Sunday's performance in a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2.
