Hunter Henry

I get it, he finished as the No. 11 tight end in his rookie season. He also saw just 53 targets despite Keenan Allen, Travis Benjamin, Antonio Gates, and Melvin Gordon being hurt at times during the year. That was also before Mike Williams was drafted at No. 7 overall. Unless Henry scores a touchdown every 6.6 targets like he did last year, it's unlikely he comes close to his current TE8 ADP.

Hunter Henry to be 'featured' in 2017

ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen reports Hunter Henry will be the "featured tight end" on the San Diego Chargers in 2017.

Fantasy Impact

Despite reports that suggest Antonio Gates will return next season, he is "well aware" that Henry will be the "featured" player at tight end for the Chargers in 2017. Entering Week 17, Henry, a promising rookie, tallied 32 receptions for 435 yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games. While Gates, a 14-year veteran, accumulated 48 receptions for 493 yards and six scores in 13 games. If both Henry and Gates continue to play at this high of a level, the Chargers will be loaded and deep at tight end once again in 2017.
