Hunter Henry or Jake Ferguson or Mike Gesicki: Who should I start in Fantasy Football Week 3?
Hunter Henry, Jake Ferguson and Mike Gesicki are available on the waiver wire this week in many leagues. As such, some fantasy football managers have been sweating and wondering which tight end they should pick up or start. Fear not, for help is on the way. Here's a look at all three players and a call on who would be the best option.
Is Hunter Henry a good pick in Week 3?
Hunter Henry dominated in Week 2 as he earned eight catches for 109 yards. As far as tight ends are concerned, that is impressive. However, expect a step back this week. According to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer, Henry is due eight points. That is still a decent output for a TE, but there might be better options.
Is Jake Ferguson a good pick in Week 3?
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson was a practical no-show in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns. Last week, he didn't earn a single statistic. However, expect bigger things from Ferguson who earned 761 yards and five touchdowns last year. Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer projects 8.7 points from him this week.
Is Mike Gesicki a good pick in Week 3?
The Cincinnati Bengals' new TE had a solid showing in Week 2 where he earned seven catches for 91 yards. That said, he appears to be a solid option but expect less from Gesicki this week with just 7.6 points, per Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer.
However, it might be too early to drop him as he has already bucked all expectations set by his recent seasons since the start of 2022 when he failed to reach 375 yards in a campaign.
Who should I start between Hunter Henry, Jake Ferguson, and Mike Gesicki in Week 3?
With Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki coming off explosive outings in Week 2, and a stronger 2023 output from Ferguson, the choice could be maddening. Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer projects that Ferguson is the greater play.
After playing well in Week 2 after a desert of production, Henry and Gesicki could come into Week 3 still celebrating their game from Week 2. On top of that, defenses will have plans to prevent both TEs from being one of the breakout players of the game. As such, Ferguson has a high floor and the element of surprise. In this comparison, surprise wins.
