Week 3 brought us a big tight end game from a rookie! We’ve been told over and over that rookie tight ends have too steep a learning curve to be useful in fantasy early on, but don’t tell Sam LaPorta that. After catching 8-of-11 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Week 3, LaPorta ranks second overall for tight ends in PPR leagues.
Injury news to monitor
Hunter Henry left Week 3’s game against the Jets with an undisclosed injury, but was able to return. We’ll see if he has any injuries on the report this week.
Logan Thomas missed Week 3 with a concussion. If he can’t make it through protocol, John Bates will be the starter again.
Bengals TE Irv Smith Jr. is dealing with a hamstring injury and didn’t play in Week 3.
