Tight Ends

Start: Martellus Bennett (at Atlanta, start percentage: 51.4%)

Bennett will probably get redzone looks in a high-scoring matchup against a team that gave up a lot of points to tight ends in 2016.

Sit: Jimmy Graham (vs. San Francisco, 95.8%)

Graham’s production with Seattle hasn’t been great since he got there. Until he proves he can be consistent, there really isn’t a reason for him to get the number of starts he’s getting if you have a better option.

Pickup: Charles Clay (at Carolina, on a team in 16.7% of leagues)

Clay is the primary target in Buffalo right now with nine targets last week and he’s playing against Carolina, which finished 31st in points conceded to tight ends last season. If he can stay healthy, he’ll be a consistent producer.

Drop: Hunter Henry (64.3%)

Antonio Gates got more targets and snaps than Henry. Henry isn’t going to be a consistent starter until he can command almost all of the tight end snaps in Los Angeles.
