Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or David Njoku

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.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku scored his third touchdown of the season in a Week 10 loss to the New York Jets. It was a quiet game for Njoku other than that, however, as he only finished with two catches for 21 yards in the loss. He will look to carve out a larger role for himself in a Week 11 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens at home. The Ravens have been stout against tight ends this season, allowing just the 22nd-most fantasy points per game to the position. Njoku popped up on the injury report with a limited session on Wednesday but it was just a veteran rest day as he is listed without an injury designation heading into the weekend. The emergence of rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. has capped Njoku's ceiling in the Cleveland offense, leaving him as a mid-range TE2 heading into Week 11.
