Hunter Henry News
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.

Mason Taylor News
Wednesday, September 9, 9:20 AM
New York Jets second-year tight end Mason Taylor was listed as the team's No. 1 tight end on their first unofficial depth chart going into the Week 1 regular-season opener this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. It is no surprise that Taylor is considered the Jets' No. 1 tight end entering the 2026 season, as rookie first-rounder Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) missed nearly all of training camp and the entire preseason after having a setback following hernia surgery. Sadiq is eventually expected to be New York's best pass-catching, downfield weapon, but for now, Taylor will have more fantasy upside in the short term. Sadiq is on track to suit up in Week 1, but the Jets will be easing him in, so he will not be a recommended fantasy starter in his NFL debut. The 22-year-old Taylor is a hard sell for starting lineups in Week 1 as well, and fantasy managers are probably better off looking elsewhere for their TE to kick off the season. Taylor is not currently rostered in any Yahoo leagues.
