Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Evan Engram

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.

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram had high expectations from fantasy managers heading into the 2025 campaign, although it's safe to say he hasn't delivered. Most assumed that a change of scenery would benefit him. Head coach Sean Payton also led many to believe Engram would hold a pivotal role on the offensive side of the ball. However, that hasn't happened, with the 31-year-old catching 28 passes for 227 yards and one touchdown in nine appearances. With some time left before the end of the regular season, Engram has a chance to turn things around, but, until that happens, he has no business being in fantasy lineups. Keep him on the bench for the Week 11 AFC West clash with the Kansas City Chiefs.
