Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Brock Bowers

Thursday, November 13, 12:47 AM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is a solid fantasy football starter in Week 11 against the New York Jets. Henry only had one catch last week, but he has been targeted 10 times over the last two games and is the overall TE15 in PPR leagues this year. This Thursday night, he should see increased volume with backup tight end Austin Hooper (concussion) sidelined. Hooper's absence leaves Henry as the Patriots' only healthy tight end on gameday, excluding fullback/tight end Jack Westover, who has one target and zero catches this year. Therefore, Henry, who has already been playing more than three-quarters of the snaps and leading his position group in targets, should be even more involved against the Jets. In addition to Hooper's absence, Henry stands to benefit from a very favorable matchup, as the Jets have allowed the second-most touchdowns to tight ends in 2025. Managers should view the 30-year-old as a top-12 tight end in fantasy football this week.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is coming off his quietest game of the season in Week 10 versus the Denver Broncos, catching just one of his three targets for 31 yards. Bowers returned in Week 9 against the Jaguars after missing three games due to a knee injury, and produced the best game of his young career with 12 catches for 127 yards and three touchdowns on 13 targets. The superstar tight end should be expected to bounce back with a great matchup on deck in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly took the blame for not getting Bowers more targets in their Week 10 loss, saying, "We have to get him more involved." Expect Bowers to be the focal point of the Raiders' game plan and go off in a matchup with the highest total of the week.
