Henry's two-week surge ends against New York's elite tight end defense.

Henry is a landmine start in Week 6 against New York despite recent strong performances. The veteran has had a quiet start to the year, ranking as TE23 and averaging 3.8 targets and 7.7 PPR fantasy points per game. However, Henry has played better lately, averaging four receptions on 4.5 targets for 53 receiving yards and 12.3 fantasy points per game over the past two weeks, totaling 11.2 or more fantasy points in both games. Unfortunately, those recent performances came against two teams that have struggled to defend opposing tight ends. The Jets have held tight ends to 8.4 fantasy points per game (fifth-fewest in NFL) and are one of seven teams not to surrender a receiving touchdown to opposing tight ends this season. New York has shut down opposing tight ends despite facing Tucker Kraft, Sam LaPorta, Colston Loveland, and Harold Fannin Jr. this year. Additionally, Henry is tied with Rhamondre Stevenson for fifth on the Patriots with 19 targets, seeing one fewer than Efton Chism III over the past two weeks.
