Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Noah Gray

Saturday, December 27, 9:20 AM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry should handle a larger target share in Sunday's Week 17 contest against the New York Jets. Quarterback Drake Maye could look Henry's way more often after wide receivers Mack Hollins (abdomen) and Kayshon Boutte (concussion) were both ruled out. Furthermore, DeMario Douglas (hamstring) is listed as questionable. The Patriots have done a good job spreading the ball around this year, so naturally, there should be more targets available for Henry with Hollins, Boutte, and possibly Douglas all sidelined. Furthermore, the veteran tight end should benefit from this week's matchup against the Jets. New York has allowed the 13th-most fantasy points and eighth-most touchdowns to tight ends in 2025. Henry, who is coming off a big game with six catches, 35 yards, and a touchdown, will remain a top target and scoring threat in New England this week. He ranks as the overall TE6 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings.

The Kansas City Chiefs have ruled out tight end Noah Gray (concussion) for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the hosting Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Gray will not have enough time to clear the league's concussion protocol on a short week. His next chance to play will come in Week 14 against the Houston Texans on Sunday, Dec. 7. Travis Kelce will continue to operate as one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top options in the passing game, but with Gray out on Thursday, both Robert Tonyan and Jared Wiley will have a chance to see the field more. The 26-year-old Gray has not been on the fantasy football radar in most leagues in 2025, catching 16 of his 28 targets for 132 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games played.
