Hunter Henry A Likely Starter Against Chicago This Week
5 years agoLos Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry is likely a starting option this week against the Chicago Bears, despite the matchup. The Bears have been one of the better units against tight ends this season, giving up an average of just 7.8 points to the position. However, they haven't faced a tight end that is utilized as heavily as Henry is for the Chargers. Henry has played in two games since returning from injury and has caught 14 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns. There are going to be easier games for Henry this season, but given his importance to the offense, he should be a starting tight end this week, especially if Keenan Allen misses the game with his hamstring injury.
