Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or James Conner

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is a strong candidate to bounce back against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. Henry had a solid four catches for 33 yards last weekend, but he also saw a touchdown get vultured by fellow tight end Austin Hooper. The 30-year-old is the overall TE9 in PPR leagues this year, remaining a favorite target for Drake Maye on short and medium passes. His physicality gives him an advantage in contested situations and also allows him to fight for yards after the catch. This week, his advantage could come around the goal line. Cleveland has allowed the fourth-most touchdowns to opposing tight ends in 2025, and Henry is somewhat due after not scoring one since Week 4. He's an appealing low-end TE1 who is worth starting in a game that could be more pass-heavy than expected.

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) underwent season-ending surgery on Monday after suffering a significant right ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game. Conner was carted off with his ankle immobilized, and head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed he won't return this season. With Conner sidelined, the Cardinals will turn to second-year back Trey Benson, who has been highly efficient, averaging 6.0 yards per carry (second among RBs). Gannon praised Benson before the season, noting he viewed both Conner and Benson as capable starters. Benson now projects as the lead option in Arizona's backfield, while Emari Demercado is expected to mix in behind him.
