Fantasy Life Articles on Eli Raridon
From the article
In most leagues, picking up and starting Raridon with confidence is highly dependent on the severity of Henry's injury. If Henry's injury turns out to not be serious and he returns in Week 9, then Raridon can safely be left on waivers. However, if he does miss time, Raridon would immediately enter the TE1 conversation.
STACKED’s take
Raridon enters TE1 conversation only if Henry misses time; monitor injury news.
After Hunter Henry left early with a foot injury, rookie tight end Eli Raridon served as the next man up. While he didn't provide much fantasy production, he ran 78% of routes—fourth on the team behind the three receivers (Kyle Williams, Demario Douglas, and Efton Chism). The source notes that picking up and starting Raridon with confidence is highly dependent on the severity of Henry's injury. If Henry returns in Week 9, Raridon can safely be left on waivers. However, if Henry misses time, Raridon would immediately enter the TE1 conversation, as the Patriots offense is devoid of reliable weapons with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs on IR and the team's history of using tight ends heavily in the passing game.
