Outlook Eli Raridon

Eli Raridon vs. Packers — Sneaky streaming upside if Hunter Henry is limited

Eli Raridon operates as New England's secondary tight end behind Hunter Henry on the depth chart, but his opportunities could expand this week against Green Bay. With Henry nursing a foot injury and star wideout A.J. Brown ruled out, the rookie could see an uptick in targets after seeing eight looks over his last two games.

Our models project Raridon for roughly 2.8 targets, 1.8 receptions, and 23 yards with modest touchdown upside, translating to about 6.0 fantasy points. While his low single-digit start rate keeps him on the bench in standard leagues, Henry's questionable status makes Raridon an intriguing deep-league stash or desperation stream.
