Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Courtland Sutton

Saturday, October 18, 12:40 PM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has seen his fantasy production fluctuate on a week-by-week basis this year, ultimately ranking as the overall TE8 (PPR) through six contests. While his numbers have been enough to justify starting him in most weeks, managers may want to look elsewhere for production at the tight end position in Week 7. This week, Henry takes on the Tennessee Titans. Not only will the Patriots likely enjoy a positive game script -- leading to increased rush attempts and fewer pass attempts -- but the Titans have also been solid against the tight end position. Through Week 6, Tennessee has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends. Henry's fantasy production this season has been largely based on game script and matchup, so with both of those factors not in his favor this week, the veteran is tough to trust. He ranks outside the top 12 fantasy tight ends ahead of Week 7 against the Titans.

Although Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton will face star cornerback Sauce Gardner and the New York Jets defense, he will likely lead the team in targets as they take the field in London. Sutton has been a consistent player this season, outside of a Week 2 dud, in which Troy Franklin had a breakout game. With averages of 13.5 half-ppr ppg and 16.1 full-ppr ppg coming into Week 6, Sutton is likely the only fully reliable option within the Broncos' core against a defense that typically gets exploited by the run game more than the pass. Fantasy managers should keep him in their lineups as a WR2 with upside, as Sutton comes in as WR15 in the latest RotoBaller rankings for Week 6.
