5 Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Options for Week 4

Hunter Henry, San Diego Chargers

Owned in 12.0% of ESPN Leagues

With Antonio Gates out in Week 3, Hunter Henry played 100 percent of the San Diego Chargers' offensive snaps. With Keenan Allen and Danny Woodhead also out, Philip Rivers found himself without his top three targets from the past few seasons. As a result, the rookie tight end was forced into a larger role, and he caught all 5 of his targets for 76 yards, which was just 6 yards behind Travis Benjamin for the team lead.

Gates reportedly wasn't close to playing in Week 3, and Henry is expected to see the majority of the workload again in a dream matchup against the New Orleans Saints. New Orleans' sieve-like defense has given up 32 points per game this season, most recently allowing 45 to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football. The Chargers are projected to put up a Week 4-high 28.75 points against the Saints, who will be traveling from New Orleans to San Diego on a short week.

As one of the top targets on the favorite in what should be a shootout against a team that surrendered the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends last season, Henry is one of the most appealing streaming options in Week 4 and is available in 88 percent of ESPN leagues.
