Hunter Henry News
Tuesday, July 28, 8:31 AM
Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports that New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry made a highlight-reel grab during training camp practice on Tuesday, jumping over defender Kevin Byard and then crashing to the ground for a big gain on a deep connection with quarterback Drake Maye. The 31-year-old veteran and former second-rounder (35th overall) by the Chargers in 2016 from the University of Arkansas is still New England's top pass-catching TE going into 2026, despite the addition of rookie Eli Raridon in this year's draft. Henry had a strong 2025 season (his fifth year with the Pats), catching 60 of his 87 targets for 768 yards and seven touchdowns (his most since 2021) in 17 regular-season starts. At the very worst, Henry should be considered a midrange TE2 while developing excellent chemistry with Maye, although his floor and ceiling could be lowered in 2026 after the offseason additions of receivers A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs. With limited volume most likely, Henry will be dependent on finding the end zone, perhaps more than ever before.

Kyle Pitts Sr. News
Thursday, July 16, 10:39 AM
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. put together the best season of his career in 2025, recording 88 catches for 928 yards and five touchdowns on 118 targets across 17 games. Atlanta rewarded Pitts Sr. with a three-year, $54 million contract extension over the offseason, and he now enters 2026 as the clear number two option in the team's passing game behind star wide receiver Drake London. Pitts Sr. finished 2025 as the TE5 in per-game PPR scoring, so his current redraft ADP as the sixth tight end off the board is defensible. However, Pitts Sr. has an extended history of fantasy underperformance, failing to record more than 53 catches, 667 receiving yards, or four touchdowns in any season between 2022 and 2024. The Falcons also have one of the more questionable quarterback situations in the NFL, with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) working his way back from injury and Tua Tagovailoa coming off a brutal season with the Miami Dolphins in 2025. Pitts Sr. has definite upside, but he may be a player for redraft managers to avoid at his current price.
