Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Theo Johnson

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught just one of his three targets for nine receiving yards during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. The 30-year-old was a central part of the offensive attack during the season opener, but his volume and usage both declined this past weekend. He finished the divisional battle with an 85 percent share, which is still solid despite representing a reduction from the week prior. Henry is a reliable outlet for Drake Maye, but that doesn't get rid of the fact that the veteran tight end faces competition for targets from players like Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, and Austin Hooper. Henry should be viewed as a mid-range TE2 heading into Week 3 against the Steelers.

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson is not a recommended fantasy start for Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. He was the TE49 in fantasy football for Week 1, securing just one of his three targets for five receiving yards and one fantasy point. This meager production, despite dominating the tight-end snaps with 46, makes him an unreliable option. Furthermore, the Cowboys' defense was a difficult matchup for tight ends in 2024, ranking second in the league by allowing only 7.66 fantasy points per game to the position. Given the tough matchup and Johnson's minimal usage and production in Week 1, he should be left on the bench in all formats.
