Hunter Henry Looking To Bounce Back Against Bills

Saturday, December 21, 12:19 AM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is coming off his worst fantasy performance since Week 10 and is looking to bounce back this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Henry tallied just 25 yards in that Week 15 showing, but he still ranks as the overall TE11 this year and has formed a very strong rapport with rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Unfortunately for Henry, the Bills' defense has been solid against opposing tight ends, allowing the ninth-fewest catches, sixth-fewest receptions, and sixth-fewest fantasy tight ends to the position in 2024. With that in mind, Henry will drop to the high-end TE2 tier this Sunday.

Chargers Plan To Activate Hayden Hurst For Thursday's Game

Thursday, December 19, 12:07 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers plan to activate tight end Hayden Hurst (hip) from Injured Reserve to play in Thursday's divisional clash against the visiting Denver Broncos, according to a source. Hurst landed on IR in late November with a hip injury, but he has practiced in full since having his 21-day practice window opened this week. It's good timing for the 31-year-old with fellow tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) already ruled out for Week 16. Hurst last played in Week 10, though, so it's fair to expect him to be on a limited snap count in his first game back on a short week. Additionally, Hurst won't be a viable starting option in fantasy in a tough matchup against the stout Broncos defense. Hurst should work alongside Stone Smartt, who will be the better TE2 streaming upside play in DFS and deeper fantasy leagues. Hurst caught only seven passes for 65 yards on 12 targets in seven games before going on IR.
