Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Kyle Pitts Sr.

Saturday, October 4, 10:42 AM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry remains a very appealing fantasy option ahead of Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. Henry has been quite productive through four weeks this season, catching 15 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns while ranking as the overall TE4 in PPR leagues. He's coming off a two-touchdown game that isn't replicable, but still offers some insight into his role and productivity going forward. With all this being said, managers should temper their expectations on Sunday despite Henry's big momentum. This week, he's facing the Bills, who have allowed the fewest receiving yards and third-fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. Henry drops to the low-end TE1 tier as a fringe top-12 option at his position.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had his best week of the season to date in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders, reeling in all five of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown, his first of the year. That now makes four straight weeks with at least five targets and at least four catches to begin the 2025 campaign, currently ranking as the ninth-highest scoring tight end in half-point PPR leagues. The former first-round draft pick's target share (18.5 percent) ranks second on the team behind only Drake London, and that is even the case if you only look at Weeks 2-4 when Darnell Mooney was on the field. It's almost a five percent increase in target share compared to his involvement last season, too. The Falcons have a bye in Week 5, and Pitts returns to a tough matchup in Week 6 against the Bills, a team that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to TEs this year, so it will be a good test to see if Michael Penix Jr. can keep him involved on an every-week basis.
