Hunter Henry (TE, LAC) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~90

CURRENT ADP: ~115

ANALYSIS: While it originally looked like Ladarius Green was going to be the Antonio Gates replacement, the successor role has been handed over to Hunter Henry, who showed plenty of flashes during his rookie year. Despite the fact that Gates is still hanging on by a thread, Henry should not be ignored in 2017 fantasy drafts.

Henry hauled in 36-of-54 targets for 478 yards and an outstanding eight touchdowns last season, with seven of those touchdowns coming within the 20-yard line on a top of the line 63% catch rate. Only two other players had more red-zone touchdowns than he did in 2016: Jordy Nelson and Cameron Brate.

It was overtly clear that Henry earned the trust of Phillip Rivers as the year wore on and we have seen how consistent that kind of chemistry can churn out fantasy points. Expect a bounce-back season from the Chargers’ offense and a whole new level of production from one of the team’s best scoring threats.
