10 TE sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 17
By Jakob Ashlin
4. Hunter Henry, New England Patriots
Rostered: 53.2%
After being in locked in as a TE1 for the first half of the season, Henry has been wildly inconsistent. Last week, he had a mere one catch for nine yards against the Buffalo Bills. In the week prior, he exploded for six receptions for 77 yards and two touchdowns against the Colts.
One thing that will remain constant is his targets, as he continues to play a major role in New England’s passing game. Despite Henry’s underwhelming performance against the Bills, he still received six targets.
Henry is a touchdown-dependent option with TE1 upside. Unfortunately, he also comes with a low floor. He could be a league-winning streamer this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars but proceed at your own risk.
3. Foster Moreau, Las Vegas Raiders
Rostered: 20.5%
Darren Waller has missed the past four games with knee and back injuries. To make matters worse, he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. The odds seem to be stacked against Waller playing on Sunday against the Colts.
Foster Moreau has been productive in Waller’s absence. He has recorded double-digit fantasy points in back-to-back games, and he has been targeted a total of 19 times over the past three games.
Moreau is a good streaming option in most leagues.
