Me: “You know what, the tight end market has really seemed to settle into a good place, I don’t even know if I need to write about them this we-”

*sees Hunter Henry on a roster in 50.3% of leagues*

Me: -_-

We are so close, people. Let him go.

He caught two passes last week. Even with the touchdown, he still ranked 15th among tight ends in week four. He’s not getting the workload to keep him on your roster. If you can’t play your backup tight end as a flex, you shouldn’t have a backup tight end.

Other than Henry, the rest of the tight end market seems to have reached a good place. If you desperately need a starter, you could do worse than Jared Cook if he’s available, but there’s not much out there.
