Hunter Henry, TE, Los Angeles Chargers

ADP: 72nd overall, TE7

It's no coincidence Henry averaged a 71.75% snap rate in Los Angeles Chargers' wins and merely a 57.34% snap rate in the team's losses last year. But the absence of Antonio Gates this season leaves ample opportunity for the third-year pro to stay on the field.

Henry played at least 70% of Los Angeles' offensive snaps in five games last season. In those outings, he averaged 6.8 targets, 72.4 yards, and 14.4 PPR points all the while seeing five targets inside the 10-yard line. In the other nine games he played, he averaged 3.1 targets, 24.1 yards, 6.07 PPR points and a total of two targets inside the 10.

The Chargers averaged the second-highest passing rate in 'neutral game' situations (within one score) last season and return coach Anthony Lynn and offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt. If Henry is indeed "ready to step up," a top-five finish among tight ends is not out of the question.
