Fantasy Football 2021, Week 5 rankings: Who to start and sit
Start
Hunter Henry, NE, @ HOU
It’s happening ladies and gentlemen. Henry has become a key part of the Patriots offense after weeks of waiting to get fully adjusted to his new team. Mac Jones is improving as the weeks go on and this could be the last time to get the former Los Angeles Chargers tight end before he becomes the legitimate top option in the Patriots offense.
Dalton Schultz, DAL, vs. NYG
Schultz seems to be a favorite of Dak Prescott moving forward, making him a must-start at the tight end position. He continues to be open due to his teammates taking up so much coverage. Start him against the New York Giants if you are able to add him to the team.
Sit
Robert Tonyan, GB, @ CIN
Tonyan remains a touchdown-dependent player who is still owned in a number of leagues no matter if it’s ESPN or Yahoo. The Packers have two ball hogs in Davante Adams and Aaron Jones, two players that Rodgers will always favor. Once again, leave Tonyan on the bench and it might be time to cut him loose as well.
Mo Alie-Cox, IND, @ BAL
Alie-Cox scored two touchdowns in Week 5, making him an instant player to consider moving forward at the tight end position. After all, Carson Wentz has always favored the tight end position in his years as a starter. It wouldn’t be that difficult to believe the same could be said this season. That being said, do not start Alie-Cox just yet. All he is worth is an add if you are in need of a tight end.
Good luck on all your Week 5 matchups and check back next week for our weekly starts and sits.
