Summary

Tight End Rank: #3   
Overall: #35

Hernandez was a big-play threat at tight end for the Patriots his rookie season. He averaged 12.5 yards per reception and scored six touchdowns. He did disappear a few games (four games with less than 20 yards) but had some big showings in others (five games with five-plus receptions and a 100-yard game). Hernandez should continue to get plenty of chances in the Patriots' pass-first offense. He won't get as much playing time as Rob Gronkowski because he isn't much of a blocker, but the Patriots will split Hernandez out wide as a receiver often. He creates mismatches for the opposition because he is a top athlete and pass catcher. He can makes plays downfield because of his top speed and athleticism for the position.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Hernandez has obvious upside in this offense. He had a big showing his rookie season and could improve on that his second year. It wouldn't surprise to see him get around 55 receptions for 650 yards and seven touchdowns. He is a low-end No. 1 tight end for fantasy teams but won't be quite as consistent as some of the top options.
