Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Trey McBride

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.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride posted season highs in fantasy points and position finish in Week 6 with Jacoby Brissett under center. His value particularly shines in PPR formats, especially after receiving 11 targets in that matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. In Week 7, he'll go up against the Green Bay Packers, who are ranked 30th against tight ends so far this season. They're giving up an average of 17.4 fantasy points per game to the position and have allowed a touchdown in three of their five games. McBride is already Kyler Murray's (questionable - foot) favorite target, and he produced a great game with Brissett, so he remains in the mix for the TE1 overall yet again.
