I expect Hunter Henry to take a step back in the target pecking order in New England this season with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs on the depth chart... Henry is an easy sit this week.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Henry's target share likely declines with Brown and Doubs; sit Week 1 vs. Seattle.

Hunter Henry was TE12 in fantasy points per game last year with career highs in receiving yards (768) and second-most receiving touchdowns (seven), but the source expects him to take a step back in the target pecking order in New England this season with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs on the depth chart. Against Seattle's two-high coverage (sixth-highest rate), Henry posted only a 16% target-per-route-run rate and 1.08 yards per route run. Seattle also held tight ends to the 14th-fewest yards per target and ranked 15th in fantasy points per opportunity, making Henry an easy sit for Week 1.
