Who Should I Start? Hunter Henry or Tyler Higbee

Friday, December 12, 11:37 PM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been playing well lately, catching 15 passes for 233 yards and one touchdown over his last three games. However, he'll face a very tough test in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2025, as well as the fewest catches, the fewest receiving touchdowns, and the second-fewest receiving yards. In his last game against the Bills, Henry was held to just two catches for 46 yards. Not only does Henry have an extremely challenging matchup on tap, but he'll also lose key opportunities as New England continues to do a good job spreading the ball around. TreVeyon Henderson, Rhamondre Stevenson, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and Kayhson Boutte should all compete for sizable volume in Week 15, making it tougher for Henry to overcome this difficult matchup. He ranks as the overall TE13 in the latest RotoBaller rankings, and he has an even lower floor. He should be benched in fantasy leagues with 12 or fewer teams.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) will go on Injured Reserve, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Higbee will be forced to miss at least the next four games. The earliest he'll be available to return for the Rams will be for their Week 16 matchup against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. The 32-year-old wasn't really moving the fantasy needle much before his ankle injury, catching 20 of his 30 targets for 190 yards and two touchdowns for L.A. in nine games played (seven starts). With Higbee now out of the picture for the foreseeable future, all three of Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson, and Davis Allen could see more targets, with Ferguson being the most attractive flier for fantasy managers in TE-premium leagues.
