Hunter Henry, Tyrell Williams, Travis Benjamin Post-Week 6 Fantasy Advice

Any offense run by San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers will see a heavy dose of the passing game. For fantasy football owners, that means any of his receiving options could be considered for possible starts or pickups in the coming weeks.

Here is what fantasy owners should take away from Thursday's matchup against the Denver Broncos regarding San Diego wide receivers Travis Benjamin and Tyrell Williams as well as tight end Hunter Henry:

Player	Targets	Receptions	Yards	TD
Hunter Henry	8	6	83	1
Tyrell Williams	3	3	28	0
Travis Benjamin	5	3	17	0

Hunter Henry

Entering Week 6, Henry had only 18 targets, which was tied for fourth on the team with running back Melvin Gordon. The rookie out of Arkansas caught 13 of those targets for 227 yards and a touchdown.

While he didn't get the most looks, he made them count with an average of 17.5 yards per reception.

On Thursday, Rivers looked at Henry early and often, throwing his way eight times and hooking up with him in the end zone, as the NFL showed:

With the 38-year-old Antonio Gates missing time this season, Henry has been the next man up. If Thursday night proved anything, it's that Rivers has some solid chemistry with the young tight end.

Henry is owned in just 49.9 percent of ESPN.com fantasy leagues, which means he could be a nice pickup for fantasy owners looking for help at tight end.

Tyrell Williams

After appearing in just four games during his 2015 rookie year, Williams has come from out of nowhere to become San Diego's No. 2 receiver this season.

While his 34 targets and 21 receptions were second on the team entering Thursday night, Williams has been inconsistent for fantasy owners.

He's coming off a 17-point performance in Week 5 against the Oakland Raiders, but Williams fell short of the eight-point mark for the fourth time this season Thursday.

That feast-or-famine trend makes him too much of a risk for many fantasy owners to put him in their starting lineups. If there is a more consistent player on your bench, it might be best to go with him instead of Williams.

Travis Benjamin

San Diego's No. 1 receiver did not have a good Thursday night. With just three receptions and a lost fumble, Benjamin's fantasy output was settled in the negatives.

But as he eclipsed the 30-reception mark on the season, Benjamin remained Rivers' go-to target despite the off night.

Benjamin has shown big-play capabilities in his first season with the Chargers thanks to his speed, and he should see plenty of targets moving forward.

He demonstrated his playmaking ability against the Raiders, as the NFL showed:

If you're in a points-per-reception league, a receiver who is averaging five catches per week is worth a look, so Benjamin should continue to be a WR2, WR3 or flex option moving forward.
