Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or George Kittle

Saturday, September 27, 1:25 AM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry remains a very strong fantasy option heading into Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran has been Drake Maye's favorite weapon so far, amassing 22 targets, 13 catches, 165 yards, and two touchdowns. He was particularly dominant in Week 2 when he totaled eight catches, 90 yards, and a pair of scores. He has recorded double-digit fantasy points in two of three games, ranking as the overall TE4 so far. That trend could continue this week against the Panthers, with the Patriots entering as 5.5-point favorites. While Carolina's defense has been solid against the pass, it's been iffy against tight ends specifically. The Panthers have allowed the ninth-most catches, third-most receiving yards, and eighth-most touchdowns to tight ends in 2025. Henry is a very strong fantasy option on Sunday, with RotoBaller's experts ranking him as the TE9 in Week 4.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) remains on injured reserve after exiting in Week 1. Kittle scored an early touchdown before leaving the game and was placed on IR shortly afterward. His earliest return date is Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though his fantasy outlook is now clouded in the 49ers' crowded receiver room. With rookie Ricky Pearsall emerging, Jauan Jennings performing when healthy, and Christian McCaffrey leading the team in targets, Kittle may not return to the same dominant workload he had in 2024. Brandon Aiyuk is also tracking toward a late-season return, which could further limit his target share. While Kittle still carries name value and touchdown upside, he might not reclaim elite fantasy status. If he returns strong in midseason, he could be a smart sell-high candidate before the 49ers' offense becomes even more crowded.
