Hunter Henry turned in a career-best performance on Thursday night against a tough Denver Broncos defense, finishing with 6 catches for 83 yards and a score. It marked his third consecutive game with a touchdown, and he is now up to fifth in tight end scoring on the year in points per reception (PPR) formats. Against Denver, he led the team in targets (8) while also playing 68% of the offensive snaps, more than any other Chargers' tight end.

Antonio Gates has been clearly limited since his return, playing more of a decoy, part-time role. He has been out-snapped and out-targeted by Henry over the past two weeks, a trend that will likely continue.

This week, Henry and the San Diego Chargers draw the Atlanta Falcons, who have been destroyed by opposing tight ends this season. Outside of a game against the Broncos (whose tight group has averaged a combined 2.8 catches for 30.5 yards this season), Atlanta has allowed opposing tight ends to average 88 yards and 1 touchdown against them.

Henry should continue to be heavily involved in the offense in what should be a high-scoring affair -- this game has the highest over/under on the slate this week (53 points). Still available in more than 50% of ESPN leagues, Henry clearly leads the way among streaming options in Week 7.
