Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Chig Okonkwo

Saturday, November 14, 7:45 AM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is holding on to his status as a top-12 fantasy option for at least one more week, as the veteran pass-catcher prepares for a highly favorable Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions. On paper, it seemed like Henry may be trending in the wrong direction with wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) in the mix to play this week. After all, Brown is capable of being targeted in contested situations and around the goal line, potentially taking away from Henry's volume. However, that's not a concern quite yet, as Henry should overcome any competition concerns with a fantastic matchup on tap. The Lions have allowed the most fantasy points, the most yards, and the most touchdowns to opposing tight ends in 2026, keeping Henry in fringe must-start territory for Week 10. Henry also has an impressive track record of his own lately, catching 25 passes for 290 yards and two touchdowns over his last six games. The 31-year-old may eventually have some sell-high potential in fantasy football, but for now, he's firmly in the "hold and start" conversation. He ranks as the overall TE9 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 10.
