2. Ricky Seals-Jones, Washington Football Team

Rostered: 49.0%

With Logan Thomas out, Ricky Seals-Jones has been given a fantasy-friendly role in Washington. He has been targeted 22 times over the last three games.

In addition, Seals-Jones has been targeted frequently in the red zone. Last week, Seals-Jones led all tight ends with four red-zone targets.

His target share alone makes him a borderline TE1 regardless of matchup. He should be rostered in all leagues.

1. Hunter Henry, New England Patriots

Rostered: 66.7%

Hunter Henry has scored a touchdown in four consecutive games. He has a good chance to extend that streak this week. He is matched up against the Chargers defense, which is giving up the second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends.

Furthermore, fellow tight end Jonnu Smith exited last week’s game with a shoulder injury. He was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. If Smith is not 100%, Henry could see an increased workload against a vulnerable defense.

Regardless of Smith’s status, Henry is a TE1 in all leagues.
