Eli Raridon Headshot

Raridon finished as the TE16 for Week 9 so far, catching 3 of 6 targets for 52 yards against the Packers. His 28-yard catch was his longest of the day. He out-snapped Hunter Henry 36 to 31 and out-targeted him 6 to 3. Henry still ran more routes (22 to 19).

The 6 targets were double his season average of 2.9 per game (TE42). Raridon came in as the TE33 in PPR points per game with a 10.1% target share. He also bounced back from a 1-catch, 5-yard Week 8. He did it against a Packers defense that allows the 30th-most points to TEs.

The next matchup is a great one. Detroit allows the most fantasy points to TEs (25.1 per game) in Week 10. The Lions also rank 21st in Pass Defense Power and allow 0.20 EPA per pass play. After the bye, the Chargers allow the 30th-most points to TEs (9.7) and rank 12th in Pass Defense Power. Raridon is a TE2 streaming option in Week 10, but the split with Henry caps his ceiling.
