Hunter Henry News
Wednesday, September 9, 9:07 PM
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught all three of his targets for 26 receiving yards during Wednesday's Week 1 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. Henry produced every time the ball was thrown his way, but he didn't have a very encouraging target share, and his average of 8.7 yards per catch was significantly lower than last year's mark of 12.8 yards. Similarly, Henry averaged 10.5 fantasy points per game in PPR leagues last year, as opposed to just 5.6 points on Wednesday night. It didn't help that the Patriots' lone touchdown went to a tight end other than Henry; it was a two-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye to rookie Eli Raridon. Presumably, Henry will still be more of a threat around the goal line than Raridon going forward, but the rookie's presence and the somewhat frustrating state of the offense could reduce the veteran's fantasy upside. The only encouraging news for his fantasy outlook is that A.J. Brown (ankle) could miss extended time, leaving Henry as Maye's favorite physical, big-bodied target.

Terrance Ferguson News
Thursday, September 10, 5:30 AM
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson is trending up in fantasy football. As he continues to work his way toward the No. 1 spot on the depth chart, Ferguson has emerged as the Rams tight end to roster in redraft leagues. However, that doesn't mean he's a no-brainer fantasy option for Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. Ferguson finished his rookie season on a high note with five catches and two touchdowns across two games, but other than that, we haven't seen him maintain a consistent fantasy-relevant role. It's fair to say that he could remain dependent on touchdowns, and he's certainly not a lock to find the end zone within an offense that also includes Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. The good news for Ferguson is that he gets a softer matchup, as the Niners allowed the eighth-most fantasy points and sixth-most touchdowns to tight ends last year. Still, until Ferguson proves that he can handle a large workload every week, he's a riskier fantasy option. He ranks as the TE20 in RotoBaller's Week 1 fantasy football rankings.
