Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or George Kittle

Saturday, October 11, 1:22 AM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is looking to bounce back as a reliable fantasy option during Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. Henry wasn't heavily involved last Sunday against the Bills, catching just two passes for 46 yards as he turned in his second-worst fantasy performance of the season. He should be more involved this week against the Saints, and he has a great opportunity to produce in a big way. After all, New Orleans has allowed the second-most touchdowns and third-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Henry is Drake Maye's favorite target not named Stefon Diggs, and he should be a mid-to-low TE1 this week.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring), who is still on Injured Reserve, returned to a limited practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers have designated Kittle to return from IR, which means they now have 21 days to officially activate him to return him to their 53-man active roster. It gives the 32-year-old Pro Bowl tight end a chance to return for a Week 7 date on Sunday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons, but it doesn't mean it will actually happen. Fantasy managers are surely itching to get Kittle back into their starting lineups, but he's firmly up in the air to play this week. The 49ers would have to activate Kittle from IR by Saturday if they intend to play him on Sunday night. Kittle is a no-doubt TE1 in fantasy when he's active. If the Niners decide to wait another week to activate him, Jake Tonges would continue to have TE2 streaming appeal for one more week.
