Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Joshua Dobbs

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught two of his three targets for 18 yards during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He continues to give the Patriots a reliable veteran presence at tight end, and while his fantasy production is somewhat dependent on touchdowns, he's still a solid bench option in deeper leagues. The biggest factor holding Henry back is the Patriots' commitment to the running game. New England passed just 24 times on Sunday, which likely isn't enough volume to allow Henry to produce on a consistent basis. He's a fringe top-24 tight end heading into next week against Seattle.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joshua Dobbs took the bulk of the offensive snaps for the team in a 16-10 preseason victory over the New Orleans Saints in Santa Clara on Sunday night. The 29-year-old entered the game for San Francisco's fourth possession following a struggling Brock Purdy offense. Dobbs would remain at the helm for three point-generating possessions before yielding to Brandon Allen at the half. Dobbs totaled 12 of 21 passes completed for 133 yards with no sacks or interceptions. He added three carries for 25 yards, including an impressive reverse-field scramble for a first down and a one-yard touchdown plunge. While preseason successes -- and failures -- should be taken with a grain of salt, San Francisco has to be happy to see a continuation of the skills Dobbs flashed in 2023 with Arizona and Minnesota. Dobbs is not fantasy-rosterable at this point but should draw some waiver-wire action if Purdy misses time.
