Who do you think will finish out the rest of the season with more points?

Martellus Bennett starting alongside Gronk with Brady coming back

or

Hunter Henry as the starting TE in a Chargers offense that lost arguably their top 3 pass catchers with Gates possibly missing an extended period of time.

Bennett shouldn't be owned when Gronk comes back. At least Henry has a shot of winning a starting job if Gates can't return very quickly

Bennett will be MORE valuable whenever Gronk is back being Gronk

How big is your league?

Not a huge Bennett fan either here.

They are different players. Bennett can't run the routes Hernandez could. Bennett will have his moments but will be widely inconsistent

Really hard for anyone to say at this point.

Henry has really high draft marks and solid reviews. I am not sure how long Gates will be out and if he will cede his starting position in what may be his final season to a rookie.(could be another Ladarius Green split workload)

Rookie TE's in general sometimes take a while to adjust to the NFL...really hard year 1 job to excel at.

Bennett no one knows fully how he will be used or how often he will be targeted. The Hernandez role/argument is something I am banking on but not putting too much stock into.

At the end of the day if anything happens to Gronk, Bennett becomes a weekly top 5 play.

As for Henry we have not seen him in action...busts do happen.

As far as roles go...highest ceiling is Henry because he could steal a job(not sure how likely) but technically he could...I think he can just earn more playing time.

If you see both as just the 2nd TE in a high volume offense...I just think you have to go with the proven better offense, proven better player, and the proven better QB. Bennett this year IMO.
