Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Noah Fant

Friday, December 12, 11:37 PM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been playing well lately, catching 15 passes for 233 yards and one touchdown over his last three games. However, he'll face a very tough test in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2025, as well as the fewest catches, the fewest receiving touchdowns, and the second-fewest receiving yards. In his last game against the Bills, Henry was held to just two catches for 46 yards. Not only does Henry have an extremely challenging matchup on tap, but he'll also lose key opportunities as New England continues to do a good job spreading the ball around. TreVeyon Henderson, Rhamondre Stevenson, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and Kayhson Boutte should all compete for sizable volume in Week 15, making it tougher for Henry to overcome this difficult matchup. He ranks as the overall TE13 in the latest RotoBaller rankings, and he has an even lower floor. He should be benched in fantasy leagues with 12 or fewer teams.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant has enjoyed an uptick in production of late. He scored a touchdown in two of his previous four appearances. The 28-year-old is also coming off his second five-catch game of the season. With that said, Mike Gesicki (pectoral) was activated from the Injured Reserve list and is set to make his return for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots. With Ja'Marr Chase sidelined for that one in order to serve a one-game suspension, there will be additional targets up for grabs behind Tee Higgins. Although Gesicki is reportedly in line for a more prominent role in Week 12, it appears Fant has a good thing going with Joe Flacco, meaning the duo may continue to connect. While Gesicki's presence significantly lowers Fants' ceiling, it's hard to imagine he'll go away completely, giving him some upside for desperate, deep-league fantasy managers.
