7 years agoLos Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry said he is ready to step up as the main pass-catching tight end in 2018 after general manager Tom Telesco confirmed that the Bolts will not re-sign veteran tight end Antonio Gates. "But definitely, I'm ready to step up. … I'm ready to go," Henry said. Henry's 2017 was a bit disappointing, as he caught just 45 passes for 579 yards and four touchdowns, gaining just nine more yards than he did in his rookie season. But with Gates now out of the picture, Henry will see much more playing time and targets from quarterback Philip Rivers, making him a solid TE1 with top-five upside in fantasy.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
