Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Dalton Kincaid

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (undisclosed) did not practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. The veteran has been absent from practice since suffering an undisclosed injury on Sunday. For now, not much is known about the ailment, but Reiss said Henry could also miss Thursday's practice. The 30-year-old has never been a high-end fantasy TE1 with the Los Angeles Chargers or Patriots, but he's often been a steady streaming option, and he could have upside as quarterback Drake Maye's safety blanket in the short and intermediate passing game. Given the lack of established weapons at wide receiver, Henry can be viewed as a later-round flier or TE2 option in deep leagues. Fantasy managers should continue to check back for his latest injury updates.

Trainers were seen checking on Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid's (ankle) lower left ankle during training camp practice on Thursday, according to Nick Sabato of the Niagara Gazette. Kincaid was getting his ankle taped up to test it out. It sounds like Kincaid stayed in at practice, but it's notable since it's on the same side as his knee injury that he dealt with earlier in camp. It's unclear if the Bills will have the 25-year-old play in the preseason opener on Saturday against the New York Giants. If healthy, Kincaid will be looking to bounce back in 2025 after a disappointing 44-448-2 line in 13 regular-season games (nine starts) in 2024. The former first-rounder had 73 catches, 673 yards and two scores as a rookie. The Bills offense spreading things around hasn't helped Kincaid's cause, and Dawson Knox is also still around. Consider him a TE2 with upside in upcoming fantasy drafts.
