New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is coming off his worst fantasy performance since Week 10 and is looking to bounce back this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Henry tallied just 25 yards in that Week 15 showing, but he still ranks as the overall TE11 this year and has formed a very strong rapport with rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Unfortunately for Henry, the Bills' defense has been solid against opposing tight ends, allowing the ninth-fewest catches, sixth-fewest receptions, and sixth-fewest fantasy tight ends to the position in 2024. With that in mind, Henry will drop to the high-end TE2 tier this Sunday.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught all four of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Henry has been the most productive pass-catcher in the Patriots' offense, and while he did lead the team in receptions on Sunday, his yardage total was lower than expected. This was Henry's worst fantasy performance since Week 10 and just his second-worst showing since Drake Maye took over as the starting quarterback. He also finished with fewer fantasy points than Austin Hooper for the third time in New England's last five games. Fantasy managers should view Henry as a fringe top-12 fantasy option against the Buffalo Bills in Week 16, and he's no longer a must-start option.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has returned from the bye week and is a relevant fantasy option once again for Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals. Henry has been the overall TE10 since Drake Maye took over at quarterback. The veteran has emerged as one of Maye's favorite targets, and that's a valuable connection to have in an offense that must throw the football to stay competitive in games. This week, Henry faces the Cardinals, who have allowed the fifth-fewest touchdowns to opposing tight ends in 2024. They've also allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to the position, but their ability to reduce touchdown opportunities is largely baked into that total. A player like Henry, who has been a top-12 fantasy tight end despite scoring just one touchdown this season, should continue to be a dependable option in Week 15.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught seven of his nine targets for 75 yards during Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Although Henry's streak without a touchdown was extended to seven games on Sunday, the veteran was still highly productive in a matchup against a Colts defense that has struggled to defend tight ends. The 29-year-old actually had a touchdown vultured by fellow tight end Austin Hooper, but he still had a productive fantasy performance of his own by turning in his fifth double-digit points total over the last eight weeks. Henry now ranks as the overall TE10 in the span since Drake Maye took over as the Patriots' starting quarterback in Week 6. He should be started in most leagues on the other side of New England's Week 14 bye.
Dec 2, 2024 2:33 AM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry remains a reliable, top-12 fantasy option heading into Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts. The veteran has been quite productive ever since Drake Maye took over as the Patriots' starting quarterback in Week 6, ranking as the overall TE10 in PPR leagues during that window. There's no indication that Henry will slow down soon, especially this Sunday against a Colts defense allowing the fourth-most yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2024. The 29-year-old should be viewed as a mid-range fantasy TE1 this Sunday, and he also has a strong chance to score his first touchdown since Week 6 (and just his second touchdown of the season).
Nov 30, 2024 2:05 AM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught five of his eight targets for 44 yards during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 29-year-old has been a viable TE1 in fantasy football ever since Drake Maye took over as the team's starting quarterback. Over his last seven games, Henry has totaled 35 catches, 355 yards, and one touchdown, ranking as the overall TE8 (PPR) during that span. The veteran tight end has established himself as a reliable target for Maye and should continue to be treated as a mid-to-low TE1 in most fantasy football leagues, including next week against the Indianapolis Colts.
Nov 24, 2024 5:28 PM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has formed a strong rapport with rookie quarterback Drake Maye, which bodes well for the veteran pass-catcher heading into Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins. Henry is averaging five catches, 51.8 receiving yards, 0.2 touchdowns, and 11.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) through Maye's six games as the Patriots starter. He has been the overall TE12 during that six-week stretch, leading the team in catches. This week, Henry faces the Dolphins, who rank near the middle of the league in terms of production allowed to opposing tight ends. However, that number is likely skewed from the four-game stretch for which Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined; during that span, opponents adopted a run-heavy approach against the Dolphins and did not have to develop an overly aggressive passing attack. Looking at recent context, this Miami defense allowed a record-breaking game from Brock Bowers last week; the rookie tallied 13 catches, 126 yards, and one touchdown. Henry isn't necessarily on the same level as Bowers, but the bottom line is that the Dolphins have shown they aren't going to shut down every tight end they face. Henry should be deployed as a low-end TE1 in leagues with 10-plus teams.
Nov 22, 2024 10:30 AM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught six of his nine targets for 63 yards during Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The veteran has now caught five-plus passes in four of his last five games, totaling 27 catches, 270 yards, and one touchdown during that span. The 29-year-old ranks as a top-10 tight end in fantasy football, enjoying quite the resurgence ever since Drake Maye took over as the team's starting quarterback. He remains a very viable starting option heading into Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins.
Nov 17, 2024 10:41 PM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (foot) practiced in full on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Los Angeles Rams. Henry began the week by practicing in a limited capacity because of a foot issue. But the Pats will have the veteran on the field for Week 11. He has had flashes of efficiency, compiling seven or more catches three times this season. However, outside of that, Henry has been relatively quiet. But with notable tight ends like Dalton Kincaid (knee) and Sam LaPorta (shoulder) sidelined, Henry could find a place in fantasy lineups in Week 11, even more so if George Kittle (hamstring) doesn't suit up.
Nov 16, 2024 12:45 AM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (foot) was upgraded to a full participant during Thursday's practice session. Henry was limited to open the week, but the veteran tight end appears to be fine now. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about his status for this weekend after Henry got in a full practice session here. He figures to be ready to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1. Henry is looking to bounce back after posting a dud against the Chicago Bears last week. The 29-year-old has looked solid as the safety blanket for rookie quarterback Drake Maye.
Nov 14, 2024 9:22 PM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Henry has been a productive tight end in 2024, especially with rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Until Week 10, Henry had scored at least 9.5 fantasy points in four straight games. Maye looks to Henry as a safety valve, and Henry is delivering for both the Patriots and fantasy managers. While Henry has only scored one touchdown in 2024, he is on pace for a career-high 728 receiving yards. That is impressive considering how lackluster the Patriots' passing offense is. Still, Maye has proven himself capable of delivering the ball to his top options. Henry's appearance on the injury report this week is notable. However, considering he played 89% of the snaps in Week 10, this is likely a maintenance/rest day for the ninth-year pro. As long as Henry keeps up his activity in practice this week, he should be good to go on Sunday.
Nov 13, 2024 6:50 PM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry converted four targets into just one reception for 14 yards during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Chicago Bears. Henry had caught 23 passes for 234 yards and one touchdown over the previous for weeks, so his quiet showing in Chicago was not only disappointing but also surprising for many fantasy managers. Heading into Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams, Henry is a TE2 with TE1 upside.
Nov 10, 2024 8:49 PM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been quite productive lately and, as a result, is firmly positioned on the fantasy radar for Week 10 against the Chicago Bears. Over the last four weeks, with most of his targets coming from Drake Maye, the veteran tight end is averaging 5.8 catches, 58.5 receiving yards, and 0.3 touchdowns per game. The Patriots haven't had a whole lot of scoring opportunities, but their tendency to play from behind has created extra opportunities and targets for the team's pass catchers, including Henry. He's a firm TE1 option slated to command a large target share once again on Sunday.
Nov 9, 2024 2:32 AM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught seven of eight targets for 56 yards during Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The veteran pass-catcher has been impressive over the last four weeks, totaling 23 catches, 234 yards, one touchdown, and 52.4 fantasy points (PPR) during that span. He has built a strong rapport with Drake Maye and will rank as a solid low-end fantasy TE1 heading into his Week 10 battle versus the Chicago Bears.
Nov 3, 2024 4:51 PM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has strung together three impressive games and continued to play well with Drake Maye (concussion) or Jacoby Brissett under center. Over the last three weeks, Henry has 16 catches, 178 yards, and one touchdown, accounting for roughly half of his season's production. This solid stretch has allowed Henry to rank as the overall TE9 during that span, posting more fantasy points per game than players like Tucker Kraft, Sam LaPorta, and Dalton Kincaid. On a less promising note, the road gets tougher for Henry this week against the Titans. Tennessee's defense has allowed the fourth-fewest catches, third-fewest receiving yards, and sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. As a result, Henry falls just outside the top 12 fantasy options at his position.
Nov 2, 2024 9:09 AM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry converted six targets into five catches for 45 yards during Sunday's Week 8 win over the New York Jets. The veteran pass-catcher has been on an impressive run lately, totaling 16 catches, 178 yards, and one touchdown over his last three games. At first, it seemed like the midseason benching of Jacoby Brissett was the main reason for Henry's sudden success. However, on Sunday, most of his production actually came with the veteran quarterback on the field. Henry caught just one pass before Drake Maye (head) exited the game; his remaining five targets and four catches came from Brissett. His splits suggest that he's a dependable fantasy option against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9 regardless of whether Maye is healthy or Brissett makes the start. Fantasy managers should view Henry as a high-end TE2 who can be justified as a viable replacement for tight ends injured or on bye.
Oct 28, 2024 12:44 AM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has returned to the fantasy radar heading into Week 8 against the New York Jets. Henry only had one fantasy-relevant game with Jacoby Brissett as his quarterback, so he didn't appear to have a whole lot of upside when Drake Maye took over the offense. However, he quickly proved to form a strong rapport with the rookie as the duo has combined for 11 completions, 133 yards, and one touchdown over Maye's two weeks as the starter. Henry has finished as a top-eight fantasy tight end in each of those two contests, so he's back on the fantasy radar ahead of Week 8. Fantasy managers should view him as a solid streamer, at the very least, and he'll become a more trustworthy week-over-week fantasy play if he turns in one more good showing on Sunday.
Oct 25, 2024 10:50 AM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught eight of nine targets for 92 yards during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. A switch seems to have been flipped for the veteran tight end ever since the Patriots replaced Jacoby Brissett with Drake Maye. Henry was off the fantasy radar with Brissett under center, but he has caught 11 passes for 133 yards and one touchdown through two games with Maye. His sudden rise to fantasy prominence is enough to justify deploying him as a low-end TE1 in Week 8 against the New York Jets.
Oct 20, 2024 6:45 PM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is back on the fantasy radar after a promising showing last Sunday. Now, in Week 7, Henry faces off against a Jaguars defense that has allowed the most touchdowns and the third-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. Just last Sunday, they allowed Cole Kmet to break out for one of the best games of his career (five catches, 70 yards, and two touchdowns). As for Henry, he's coming off his second-best game of the season; he caught three passes for 41 yards and also found the end zone for the first time since Week 15 of last year. The Patriots' decision to switch from Jacoby Brissett to Drake Maye seems to have paid off for the whole offense, including Henry. He's a high-end TE2 who could certainly sneak into the TE1 tier with a touchdown this week. Managers can absolutely justify streaming him in Week 7.
Oct 19, 2024 9:40 AM EST
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught three of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans. The veteran pass-catcher served as a solid security blanket for rookie quarterback Drake Maye in his first career start, and the two continue to form a solid rapport in the passing attack. This was just Henry's second game of the season with at least three catches, five targets, or 33 yards. The touchdown reception was also his first since Week 15 of the 2023 season. Heading into Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, Henry ranks as a mid-to-low TE2 for fantasy football.
