Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Harold Fannin Jr.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry saw his volume rebound in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Just one week removed from a one-target game, Henry bounced back with six targets, four catches, and 51 receiving yards last Sunday. All three of these statistics represented his highest mark since Week 3, suggesting that he's back on track as a fantasy-relevant tight end. He ranks as the overall TE9 in PPR leagues this year, mainly operating with a high floor and low ceiling. After all, he has double-digit fantasy points in only three of nine games this year, as well as 12+ fantasy points just once. Managers should continue to view Henry as a fringe top-10 tight end for Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) carries a questionable tag into Sunday's Week 10 matchup with the Jets. Fannin was a surprise DNP at Thursday's practice before returning to action on Friday. Through nine weeks, Fannin leads the Browns with 38 catches for 352 yards, and his two receiving touchdowns are tied for the team lead. He has been a reliable outlet throughout the season, but especially since Dillon Gabriel's takeover at quarterback. He has caught at least four passes in each of Gabriel's starts, with both of his touchdowns coming in that span. If active, he should provide a safe floor with a high potential ceiling against a Jets defense that saw two of its best players depart at the trade deadline.
