Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or T.J. Hockenson

Saturday, September 27, 1:25 AM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry remains a very strong fantasy option heading into Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran has been Drake Maye's favorite weapon so far, amassing 22 targets, 13 catches, 165 yards, and two touchdowns. He was particularly dominant in Week 2 when he totaled eight catches, 90 yards, and a pair of scores. He has recorded double-digit fantasy points in two of three games, ranking as the overall TE4 so far. That trend could continue this week against the Panthers, with the Patriots entering as 5.5-point favorites. While Carolina's defense has been solid against the pass, it's been iffy against tight ends specifically. The Panthers have allowed the ninth-most catches, third-most receiving yards, and eighth-most touchdowns to tight ends in 2025. Henry is a very strong fantasy option on Sunday, with RotoBaller's experts ranking him as the TE9 in Week 4.

Faced with another solid opportunity for production, Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson is a low-end TE1 candidate against the Cincinnati Bengals, though fantasy managers could certainly be forgiven for being leery about his potential following two straight duds. The veteran tight end is facing a plus matchup for tight ends against the Bengals' defense, but is also coming into the game with four catches, 27 total yards, and zero red-zone targets in two games. Most concerning, the Vikings will be without starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) and could be starting three offensive linemen -- from left tackle to center -- with a combined two NFL starts. It's clear the Vikings are going to have to be more creative offensively in the following weeks, however, and that should mean more involvement for Hockenson.
