PositiveProjectionOct 30, 2026
Hunter Henry has gone for 10-plus PPR points in four straight weeks and ranks as the overall TE8 in expected fantasy points (37.6) since Week 4. His fantasy production over that span is the byproduct of a 19-225-2 receiving line on 21 targets (tied for ninth-most among TEs since Week 4). He is only 14th in total routes run (105) but his 20.0 percent targets per route rate is good for 10th highest at his position (min. 20 targets). He is only being started in about 50 percent of Sleeper leagues, but his strong production over the last month should warrant more looks in a plus matchup against the Dolphins this week.PositiveRoleOct 20, 2026
With Romeo Doubs sidelined, Hunter Henry has a big opportunity to increase his role and production with the Patriots.NegativeRoleOct 19, 2026
The source notes Hunter is a weapon but assesses that he needs to provide more than WR4 returns in fantasy to be a worthwhile bet at current ADP/value; the Jags' transparent preparation to trade Brian Thomas Jr. and Hunter's continued development on defense suggest the team may keep his offensive role small, making him an unattractive fantasy asset especially with Jacksonville headed to bye in Week 7.PositiveRoleOct 19, 2026
Hunter Henry caught four passes for 59 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, running only seven routes while Brian Thomas Jr. ran 13. Liam Coen benched BTJ in the second half and used Henry as a part-time wideout, suggesting a potential two-way role that could provide deeper league value if it sticks.NegativeRoleOct 16, 2026
Eli Raridon has forced a true committee at tight end in New England, running half of the routes last week and dropping Henry to a 61 percent route rate. Henry's season-long rate of 66 percent ranks 22nd among tight ends and is buoyed by a high-volume Week 2 when Raridon left early with injury. Henry also ranks outside the top 20 tight ends in targets per route, making him a non-viable fantasy option.PositiveRoleSep 29, 2026
