00:02 - We have a tight end battle

00:04 and then we have a quarterback battle.

00:05 So we'll start at the tight end.

00:06 We talked about Sam Laporta from Detroit has Seattle.

00:09 Then there's Hunter Henry,

00:11 a recognized name now with the Patriots has Miami.

00:14 We talk about how New England has some injuries.

00:17 Where's the ball gonna go?

00:18 We talk about how Detroit has so many options.

00:20 Where's the ball gonna go?

00:21 Joe starts it.

00:22 What do you like?

00:24 - Yeah, Laporta's just in terms of the usage,

00:26 really interesting.

00:27 And the matchup's really good against Seattle.

00:28 Look, he had five catches on five targets last week.

00:31 If he keeps anything close to that volume

00:32 and adds a touchdown, he's gonna crush this.

00:34 Now, Hunter Henry had a touchdown last week too,

00:36 which is great.

00:37 And it's good to see Mac Jones looking good again

00:39 in the red zone.

00:40 And we saw, you know, not that long ago,

00:41 Hunter Henry was that guy.

00:42 And you see that Juju Smith-Schuster

00:45 doesn't seem to be ingratiating himself.

00:47 Kayshawn Booty and Kendrick Bourne.

00:50 And those are the guys that they're throwing the ball to,

00:52 not Juju Smith-Schuster.

00:53 So Henry's intriguing.

00:55 He's startable this week, but not over Laporta.

00:58 I'm gonna go with Laporta instead

00:59 'cause I think Laporta has the higher floor potentially

01:02 in terms of the target volume.

01:03 Whereas Henry is a little bit more

01:05 touchdown dependent to me.
