Fantasy Football TE Rankings, Who Should I Add Off Waiver Wires:

Hunte🐓r Henry (Patriots) was the highest recommended TE waiver wire pic🐼kup this week.

Analysis

Hunter Henry has had some decent streওtches of touchdown production in his four-year Patriots career — nine scores in 2021, six in 2023 — but he’d never had more than 100 receiving yards … until Sunday.

Henry’s 109 yards on eight catches (and a team-high 12 targets) was a career-high for the nine-year veteran. And his 28 routes were by far the most on the team — not just among tight ends, among any pass-catche꧒r. He’ll likely disappear every other week or so (see Week 1), but at this point so will nearly every tight end in fantasy.

Henry has to be added at what has been a wasteland of a position through two ൩weeks of NFL action.

Who are the best stashes from the Fantasy Football TE Rankings?

Mike Gesicki (Bengals) is 🍨one of the best tight end stashes ahead of Weeﷺk 3. 

Analysis

Though this play hinges heavily on Tee Higgins’ W♕eek 3 availability, it might not be a bad idea to roll him out regardless, if the need is that strong.

If the 7-91 stat line Mike Gesicki racked up last week seemed out of place on a Bengals offens🦩e not known for attacking the position, you would be correct: the 151 total receiving yards the position earned is the most for the team since Joe Burrow was drafted in 2020.

So,🎐 clearly, the performance was an outlier, but there are some situations in Fant👍asyland where 6-7 fantasy points would be a godsend.

Tig൩ht ends haven’t tested the Commanders through two weeks, but they’ve been ripped to shreds by every other position, allowing a l⭕eague-high six passing touchdowns as the 29th-ranked scoring defense in the league.

They’ve been particularly gashed over the short-middle of the field, where they have allowed a league-worst 138.5 passer rating and 11.1 yards per attempt, per Sports Info Solutions. This has been where most of𝓰 Gesicki’s damage has come from, including a 5-65 stat line on five targets, with 37 of those yards coming after the catch.

Gesicki is available in 95% of Yahoo leagues.
