Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Theo Johnson

Saturday, October 4, 10:42 AM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry remains a very appealing fantasy option ahead of Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. Henry has been quite productive through four weeks this season, catching 15 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns while ranking as the overall TE4 in PPR leagues. He's coming off a two-touchdown game that isn't replicable, but still offers some insight into his role and productivity going forward. With all this being said, managers should temper their expectations on Sunday despite Henry's big momentum. This week, he's facing the Bills, who have allowed the fewest receiving yards and third-fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. Henry drops to the low-end TE1 tier as a fringe top-12 option at his position.

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson is a risky, touchdown-dependent stream for the Thursday night matchup, despite his emergence as a key red-zone weapon. Johnson, the TE16 in fantasy with 7.08 fantasy points per game, has found the end zone three times this year, a figure made remarkable by the fact that rookie QB Jaxson Dart's only career touchdown passes have all gone to the tight end. This connection is vital, as Johnson operates with a high 75.4% snap share on his 15 receptions and 22 targets, but the Philadelphia Eagles present a brutal challenge. They rank as the 4th toughest fantasy defense against tight ends, allowing just 7.82 points against per game. Furthermore, the Eagles' elite 3rd-ranked red zone defense, which boasts a 42.9% Defense Red Zone TD Rate, significantly lowers the odds of Johnson continuing his unsustainable touchdown pace, making him a desperation play.
