Patriots tight end Eli Raridon considered for fantasy football drafts

New England Patriots rookie Eli Raridon is viewed as a potential option for fantasy football dynasty leagues. As the backup tight end, he steps into a position previously held by Austin Hooper, who had 263 receiving yards and two touchdowns last season. Raridon faces competition from established players like Hunter Henry and other receivers, limiting his immediate impact. However, with Henry nearing the end of his career, Raridon's role could expand in the coming seasons, offering future value for fantasy managers. His pass-catching ability may develop as he works with quarterback Drake Maye from early in his career.
