Hunter Henry is priced at DraftKings $4,300/FanDuel $5,200 for the Miami matchup; becomes a consideration if A.J. Brown is out, potentially increasing his target share and fantasy upside.PositiveProjectionOct 31, 2026
Since Week 4, Hunter Henry has been the TE9 in fantasy points per game with a 15.7% target share, 2.30 YPRR, four red zone targets, and a 14.8% first-read share.

Henry had 7-71-0 on seven targets against the Bears last week, marking the first time all season he's had more than five targets in a game. Rookie TE Eli Raridon is moving in on Henry's territory, averaging four targets and three catches over his last three games. Henry has an appealing matchup against a Dolphins defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to TEs, but ranked as a high-end TE2 rather than as a TE1.NegativeValueOct 30, 2026

Since Drake Maye started playing well, Henry has lined up 50% of the time as a wide receiver with a 2.3 yards per route run and 7.42 yards after catch per reception, ranking top-18 in the NFL in red-zone targets. Over the next three weeks, New England plays Miami, Green Bay, and Detroit—teams collectively allowing 20 points per game to tight ends and 26 points per game to wide receivers.PositiveProjectionOct 22, 2026
Henry is TE18 in fantasy points per game but has posted TE1 finishes in each of the last two weeks (TE8, TE6).

Assigned a D start/sit grade for Week 6; Derek Brown rates Henry as a poor play against New York Jets.PositiveProjectionOct 15, 2026
Henry is TE25 in fantasy points per game with only one double-digit PPR game all season; he has a 11.5% target share, 1.53 YPRR, four red zone targets, one deep target, and 14.4% first-read share. The Jets have held tight ends to the eighth-fewest yards per target and 12th-fewest fantasy points per opportunity. The source says Henry isn't on the streaming radar this week.NegativeBustOct 15, 2026
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.PositiveMatchupOct 14, 2026
Poor Week 6 matchup vs. New York Jets; Aaron Glenn's defense is holding opposing tight ends to just 8.4 fantasy points per game and hasn't allowed a touchdown to a single tight end despite facing strong ones like Tucker Kraft, Sam LaPorta, and Harold Fannin Jr., all with much higher target share than Henry's 11.5%. Henry sees only 3.6 targets per game with 62.4% route share. Source prefers Pat Freiermuth, Tyler Higbee, and Oronde Gadsden II as streaming options in this difficult matchup.PositiveRoleOct 13, 2026
Hunter Henry caught 3 of 4 official targets (5 true) for 44 yards and an 11-yard touchdown in Week 5, all in the first half, with adjusted target share at 12.5% (down from 13.5%). His snap share held at 48 snaps (64%), but he ran a season-low 60% route participation. The source notes it's hard to trust Henry's fantasy viability with all the WRs and Raridon breaking out as a rookie tight end, aside from being TD-or-bust.PositiveValueOct 13, 2026
Hunter Henry is a top streaming option for Week 6 despite being 51% rostered, given the four-team bye week crunch. He has established himself as one of New England's more dependable receiving options with an established connection to Drake Maye; he has eight targets in his last two games and scored a touchdown in Week 5. The Patriots' offense is coming off a 45-point performance against Las Vegas and now hosts the Jets, positioning Henry as one of Maye's trusted targets with a realistic expectation of a handful of receptions and goal-line opportunity that could finish him among the top 12 tight ends in the week.NegativeValueOct 13, 2026

Hunter Henry gets a favorable Week 5 matchup against Las Vegas, which has given up five TD catches to tight ends. After a sluggish start (7-71-0 on 10 targets through Week 3), Henry posted 5-62-0 on five targets in Week 4 against Buffalo. Patriots QB Drake Maye was sharp against Buffalo, resembling his form from last season, which improves Henry's passing game outlook. With A.J. Brown expected to miss several more weeks with a high-ankle sprain and Mack Hollins dealing with a calf injury, Henry's short-term target outlook is decent.PositiveMatchupOct 5, 2026
After a sluggish opening three games in which he had 7-71-0 on 10 targets, Hunter Henry had 5-62-0 on five targets in the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. Now, Henry gets a favorable matchup against a Las Vegas defense that has given up five TD catches to tight ends. Patriots QB Drake Maye was sharp against Buffalo on Sunday, finally resembling the Maye of last season. With A.J. Brown expected to miss several more weeks with a high-ankle sprain, and with WR Mack Hollins dealing with a calf injury, Henry's short-term target outlook is at least decent.PositiveProjectionOct 1, 2026

Henry continues to underperform alongside Tucker Kraft, Mark Andrews, and Kyle Pitts. The source expresses uncertainty about when this trend will change, noting that while there is plenty of talent and depth at the tight end position, offenses simply aren't using tight ends as much as managers anticipated.NegativeProjectionSep 27, 2026

However, the matchup against Pittsburgh is interesting; the Steelers allowed the fifth-most yards per target and third-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends last year.

Henry was quiet across the board with 3 targets (9.1% / 8.8% adjusted) and zero red-zone looks, indicating a limited role in the Patriots offense.NegativeMatchupSep 16, 2026
Hunter Henry should be approached cautiously in Week 2 against Pittsburgh despite AJ Brown being on injured reserve. Pittsburgh's defense held Kyle Pitts Sr. to zero points in Week 1. While part of that could be attributed to Cooper Rush at quarterback, the Steelers' defense is formidable. Additionally, if TreVeyon Henderson returns to practice on Monday, he becomes an added weapon that could limit Henry's appeal. Bijan Robinson tore the Steelers apart in the receiving game with eight catches for 90 yards, but Henderson in the flat could further limit Henry's opportunities. The source cautions against inserting Henry in lineups despite the bare wide receiver options.PositiveValueSep 15, 2026
Hunter Henry is rostered in only 54% of Yahoo! leagues and presents strong waiver wire value. Though his Week 1 numbers were modest (3 catches, 26 yards, 9% target share), the loss of A.J. Brown to a high-ankle sprain and IR opens significant opportunity. Henry was second on the Patriots with 87 targets last season and had 22 red-zone looks, demonstrating an established connection with Drake Maye. With Brown out, Henry has a clear path to 5-7 potential targets per game against Pittsburgh in Week 2.NegativeProjectionSep 9, 2026

Hunter Henry was TE12 in fantasy points per game last year with a career-high 768 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns (second-most in a season). However, Derek Brown expects 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. Against Seattle's two-high coverage (sixth-highest rate last year), Henry posted only a 16% target-per-route-run rate and 1.08 yards per route run. Seattle allowed tight ends the 14th-fewest yards per target and ranked 15th in fantasy points per opportunity, making Henry an easy sit for Week 1.PositiveRoleSep 8, 2026

Henry could be a solid option in the TE2 range. Over the last two seasons, he averaged 42.1 and 45.2 yards per game, and scored 7 touchdowns last season—his most since 2023 when he scored 6. The Patriots drafted former Notre Dame tight end Eli Raridon 95th overall, but for 2026, that's unlikely to impact Henry much. The additions of Romeo Doubs and A.J. Brown will have more impact.

Henry is identified as the biggest red flag bust candidate. The Patriots' acquisition of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs drastically reduced his target share.
