Hunter Henry Relatively Quiet in Week 1 Loss

Wednesday, September 9, 9:07 PM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught all three of his targets for 26 receiving yards during Wednesday's Week 1 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. Henry produced every time the ball was thrown his way, but he didn't have a very encouraging target share, and his average of 8.7 yards per catch was significantly lower than last year's mark of 12.8 yards. Similarly, Henry averaged 10.5 fantasy points per game in PPR leagues last year, as opposed to just 5.6 points on Wednesday night. It didn't help that the Patriots' lone touchdown went to a tight end other than Henry; it was a two-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye to rookie Eli Raridon. Presumably, Henry will still be more of a threat around the goal line than Raridon going forward, but the rookie's presence and the somewhat frustrating state of the offense could reduce the veteran's fantasy upside. The only encouraging news for his fantasy outlook is that A.J. Brown (ankle) could miss extended time, leaving Henry as Maye's favorite physical, big-bodied target.

Kenyon Sadiq News

Kenyon Sadiq "Good to Go" in Week 1

Friday, September 11, 12:22 PM

New York Jets rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq (groin) is "good to go" for his team's season opener against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Sadiq missed significant time throughout the summer due to complications from an offseason hernia surgery. However, he was reportedly heavily involved in the Jets' offense when healthy during training camp, and he was able to log full practices throughout this week leading into Week 1. The 16th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Sadiq recorded 51 catches for 560 yards and eight touchdowns across 14 games with the University of Oregon in 2025. The 21-year-old graded out at the Draft Combine as an elite athlete for the tight end position, which should allow the Jets to get him the ball in a variety of ways this season. Given his injury issues this summer, Sadiq may not hit the ground running immediately as a rookie. Still, he's a worthy stash candidate in deeper fantasy leagues for his season-long upside.
