Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Jahmyr Gibbs

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.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is the clear-cut number-one option in the team's backfield now that David Montgomery will miss time with a knee injury. The versatile running back has a nice matchup in Week 16 at the Chicago Bears. The Bears allow the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs and Gibbs should have a strangle-hold on carries for the Lions. Craig Reynolds and even Sione Vaki could factor in a bit in the backfield but Gibbs should get a heavy workload against a beatable defense. Everything is lining up for a big day for Gibbs who should be heavily involved in the passing game as well. Count on the talented running back for big numbers in the fantasy playoffs.
