Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Brenton Strange

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught just one of his three targets for nine receiving yards during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. The 30-year-old was a central part of the offensive attack during the season opener, but his volume and usage both declined this past weekend. He finished the divisional battle with an 85 percent share, which is still solid despite representing a reduction from the week prior. Henry is a reliable outlet for Drake Maye, but that doesn't get rid of the fact that the veteran tight end faces competition for targets from players like Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, and Austin Hooper. Henry should be viewed as a mid-range TE2 heading into Week 3 against the Steelers.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange was drawing waiver-wire consideration after catching all four of his targets for a team-high 59 yards in the Week 1 win over the Carolina Panthers. However, he took a step back in Sunday's 31-27 Week 2 loss on the road to the Cincinnati Bengals, catching three of five targets for just 17 yards. On the bright side, the 24-year-old was Jacksonville's clear TE1, playing 90 percent of the offensive snaps. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence leaned more on receivers Dyami Brown and Parker Washington in this one, but don't overlook the fact that Strange has nine targets through the first two weeks of the 2025 season. Strange will probably continue to have up-and-down weeks, but he's been on the field enough to be considered a borderline TE1/2 in fantasy as the Jags head into a Week 3 divisional matchup against the Houston Texans.
