Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Jace Sternberger

Saturday, November 1, 10:04 AM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of a Week 9 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Henry is the overall TE8 in full-PPR leagues through eight weeks, but he has been held to fewer than eight fantasy points in each of his last four games. His target share has declined steadily over the last handful of weeks as Drake Maye sends more passes in the direction of players such as Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, and Austin Hooper. Even worse than Henry's track record is his upcoming matchup. The Falcons have allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. In fact, through their first seven games, Atlanta has allowed tight ends to catch a total of 12 passes for 105 yards. That comes out to 1.7 catches and 15 yards for the entire position group in a single contest. Henry can be avoided in most fantasy leagues this week.

The Buffalo Bills waived tight end Jace Sternberger on Sunday. The Packers drafted the 27-year-old in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. However, he appeared in only 18 games in Green Bay, catching 12 balls for 114 yards and a touchdown. Since then, he made brief stops in Seattle, Washington, and Pittsburgh before Buffalo signed him at the start of training camp. But nobody expected Sternberger to make the Week 1 roster, especially with Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid on the depth chart.
