Hunter Henry Highly Productive In Week 7

Sunday, October 20, 6:45 PM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught eight of nine targets for 92 yards during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. A switch seems to have been flipped for the veteran tight end ever since the Patriots replaced Jacoby Brissett with Drake Maye. Henry was off the fantasy radar with Brissett under center, but he has caught 11 passes for 133 yards and one touchdown through two games with Maye. His sudden rise to fantasy prominence is enough to justify deploying him as a low-end TE1 in Week 8 against the New York Jets.

Sam LaPorta's Struggles Continue With Another Dud In Week 7

Sunday, October 20, 8:25 PM

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta struggled in Week 7, contributing minimally in the 31-29 win over the Minnesota Vikings. LaPorta managed just one catch on two targets for 25 yards, marking another disappointing performance. He has now finished with single-digit fantasy points in five of six games this season, a sharp contrast from his consistency last year. Despite the Lions' offensive success, LaPorta's role remains limited, leaving fantasy managers searching for answers. The Lions will aim to get him more involved in their Week 8 home matchup against the Tennessee Titans.
