Henry is a stream play this week after earning 7 targets last week. Miami has allowed 2.62 YPRR to TEs aligned inline (most in the NFL). Henry has run 39% of his routes from that alignment, where he's averaging 1.49 YPRR this season. Miami's linebackers have a D in coverage grades.PositiveMatchupOct 29, 2026

Henry is ranked No. 12 among tight ends for Week 8 in Freedman's rankings, facing the Dolphins.PositiveMatchupOct 28, 2026
Henry is upgraded for Week 8 at Dolphins based on Patriots' scoring environment and injury context. Patriots are No. 5 in implied team total (26.0 points). WRs Romeo Doubs (shoulder, IR) and Mack Hollins (calf, IR) are out; since Hollins exited in Week 4, Henry has been functional (11.0 fantasy points per game, 19-225-2 receiving, 21 targets, 70 Utilization Score). Pats have three-day edge off Thursday Night Football, QB Drake Maye crushes in division (9-3 ATS, 43.0% ROI), and Dolphins are No. 3 in most fantasy points allowed to TEs (17.1) and could be without LB Willie Gay (illness).PositiveMatchupOct 27, 2026
Henry, ranked TE25 in ROS, delivered 7 catches for 71 yards in the previous week and faces the Dolphins, who rank third in most FPG allowed to tight ends. With Romeo Doubs on IR, targets are available in the Patriots' passing offense, and the source notes A.J. Brown will eventually catch passes but targets will remain available for Henry.NegativeProjectionOct 22, 2026

Hunter Henry is listed with a utilization of 7.3 PPG and a Week 7 projection of 7.1 PPG, indicating essentially flat or slightly declining fantasy outlook for the week.PositiveMatchupOct 20, 2026
Henry is positioned as a Week 7 streamer (TNF) against the Bears; the source compares him to a reliable veteran producer, coining him the TE equivalent of a 'Raul Ibanez All-Star.' Henry has seen at least 4 targets in all but two games this season and has posted a TD in each of the past two games with 12 catches for 154 yards in the past three games. Despite the Bears allowing just 8.5 FPG to TEs (10th fewest), they recently gave up back-to-back TDs to Kyle Pitts and allowed consecutive TEs to post at least 60 receiving yards. With a 50.5 game total and two 2024 QB draftees (Caleb Williams and Drake Maye) under center, the source expects footballs to fly around Soldier Field.NegativeProjectionOct 14, 2026
Henry is being downgraded in Week 6 TE rankings; his projection is being raised from 6.2 PPG to 7.4 PPG, but he is included in Matthew Freedman's fade list, indicating the source believes his ranking or expectations are too high relative to his actual Week 6 outlook due to unfavorable betting factors, situational spots, or disadvantageous defensive matchups.PositiveValueOct 10, 2026
Alex Cupps is ranking Hunter Henry higher than Fantasy Life's Consensus ranking for Week 5, suggesting he sees more upside in the tight end than the consensus projection.PositiveProjectionOct 9, 2026
Hunter Henry is ranked significantly higher than consensus in Week 5 against the Raiders (26th in DvP, +3.41 more points per week to TEs). In Week 4 with Drake Maye starting, Henry posted 5 targets (2nd on team), 5 receptions (2nd), 62 receiving yards (1st), and 11.6 PPR points. DvP-adjusted projection: 7.6 (TE8); prediction market implied projection: 8.1 (TE12); Vegas floor: 5.5 (TE12). The source recommends Henry as the fill-in TE option for Week 5.PositiveValueOct 6, 2026
Hunter Henry is recommended as a waiver wire target to replace Darren Waller at tight end, offering better streaming potential than Waller given Waller's upcoming bye week and Jalen Coker's expected return.NegativeProjectionSep 23, 2026
Hunter Henry is among five tight ends receiving significant downgrades in Matthew Freedman's Week 3 TE rankings, driven by unfavorable betting factors, situational spots, disadvantageous defensive matchups, and/or decreased usage expectations.PositiveProjectionSep 19, 2026
Hunter Henry is highlighted as one of Cupps' Week 2 studs, indicating he's ranked higher than consensus expectations for the week.PositiveRoleSep 15, 2026
With A.J. Brown landing on IR, Hunter Henry steps up in the Patriots target pecking order; last year when Brown was with the Eagles, Henry saw a 17% target share and 74% route share, and he is likely to return to that usage level with Romeo Doubs emerging as the WR1. Despite the Steelers' strong defense holding Kyle Pitts to zero catches on one target in Week 1, Henry may generate enough volume to exceed his WR19 preseason ranking.PositiveValueSep 9, 2026
Henry at $7,600 occupies an attractive mid-tier pricing range and is the most appealing option in that salary band. While target competition from A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs may reduce overall volume ceiling, Henry should maintain a significant red-zone role with a 17% end-zone target share in 2025. As 3.5-point road underdogs, the Patriots project to pass more, and Henry's $600 discount versus Romeo Doubs makes him the preferred tight end.PositiveProjectionSep 6, 2026
Hunter Henry finished 2025 second in EPA per play, fifth in touchdowns, seventh in receiving yards, and 16th in YPRR at TE, leading to a seventh-place finish in half-PPR, sitting above Brock Bowers and Colston Loveland. The emergence of Drake Maye has done wonders for his pass catchers. The additions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs may lead to a decline in total targets, but Henry should benefit from increased defensive attention and operate in bigger spaces. The veteran TE has no threats underneath him on the depth chart, keeping his floor intact.NegativeProjectionAug 26, 2026
Henry was selected as the drafter's primary TE option in Round 14 (14.06), but the drafter expressed concern about this selection, stating they don't feel great about Henry as their No. 1 TE option and prefer to stream the position.NegativeRoleAug 24, 2026

The source places Henry in Tier 4, noting these players are going for less than the source thinks they should be, though the value gap is smaller than in Tier 2 and Tier 3. The source notes all Tier 4 players have some potential and are worthy selections for the back end of the roster, potentially serving as solid No. 2 options or even start-worthy if you go stars-and-scrubs at RB and WR.PositiveSleeperJul 29, 2026
