Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Sam LaPorta

Wednesday, November 5, 3:43 PM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry saw his volume rebound in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Just one week removed from a one-target game, Henry bounced back with six targets, four catches, and 51 receiving yards last Sunday. All three of these statistics represented his highest mark since Week 3, suggesting that he's back on track as a fantasy-relevant tight end. He ranks as the overall TE9 in PPR leagues this year, mainly operating with a high floor and low ceiling. After all, he has double-digit fantasy points in only three of nine games this year, as well as 12+ fantasy points just once. Managers should continue to view Henry as a fringe top-10 tight end for Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta had his best game of the 2025 season in Week 9, recording six catches for 97 yards and a touchdown on eight targets against the Minnesota Vikings. The 24-year-old's production has been trending upwards in recent weeks. Across his last four outings, LaPorta has hauled in 19 catches for 259 yards and three touchdowns on 23 targets. He appears to be emerging as the clear number two option in the Detroit passing game behind star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown. LaPorta has a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19) through nine weeks. LaPorta profiles as a clear starting-caliber fantasy tight end in Week 10.
