Fantasy Football TE Rankings, Who Should I Add Off Waiver Wires:
Hunter Henry (Patriots), was the highest recommended TE waiver wire pickup this week.
Analysis
The overall TE1 with six targets (11.1%) and a position-high 56 receiving yards (lol), Henry is the rare player among this list who could lead his team in targets in any given week since New England’s roster continues to be shuffled around him. Note the Dolphins allowed the second-most fantasy points to tight ends (against the Chargers) in Week 1.

Who are the best stashes from the Fantasy Football TE Rankings?
Adam Trautman (Broncos) is one of the best tight end stashes ahead of Week 2.
Analysis
Sean Payton brought Adam Trautman to Denver in the last year of his rookie deal, and it’s been clear he wants to use him. The former Saint was even listed as the No. 1 TE on the team’s first regular season depth chart. With WR Jerry Jeudy sidelined, the Broncos began Sunday’s game 12-personnel heavy but had to back off once TE Greg Dulcich left the game with a leg injury. Dulcich’s injury and return timeline are still unclear, so stashing Trautman now may be a decent idea. The Broncos’ offense was fairly flat to start the season, so that’s why the 26-year-old is not a must-add, but instead lands in the stash-and-see column.
