Sit-em: Hunter Henry (LAC) vs. Buffalo

Hunter Henry was on the verge of actually being consistently good earlier in the season. He had four solid games in a row from Weeks 4 to 7, but not anymore. He is back to perplexing fantasy football owners on a weekly basis.

Since Week 7, Henry has five fantasy points combined through two games. We may just need to admit that this is who Henry is as a football player. His entire career has been a list of excuses about playing time and missed opportunity, but at what point do the excuses stop?

Antonio Gates is technically still the top tight end on the Chargers roster. However, Henry is getting plenty of playing time to make more of a steady impact for our fantasy football teams.

That impact just hasn’t come.

Just like with Keenan Allen, Henry is a large piece to the struggling Chargers offense. They expected him to step up into a larger role this year and years to come, but that hasn’t happened.

There are better tight ends on the waiver wire in most fantasy football leagues for Week 11. Don’t roll with Henry on this important weekend in fantasy football.
