Hunter Henry finished as TE16 in 2016 with 36 receptions, 482 receiving yards, and 8 touchdowns across 15 games (114.2 fantasy points) as a second-round pick, representing one of only four second-round picks to achieve top-24 fantasy relevance in the last 10 years.PositiveValueJul 7, 2026
Henry is TE18 in ADP (Round 12) but TE16 in rankings, suggesting the market is overlooking his floor and proven upside. He had a career year in 2025, playing all 17 games and recording 60 receptions on 87 targets for a career-high 768 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns, finishing as TE9 overall with five TE1 finishes (two TE1 overall weeks). He also tallied a career-high 11 catches of 20 yards or more in 2025. This follows his 2024 season when he paced the Patriots in receiving yards (674) and targets (97) while tying for the lead in catches (66), finishing as a top-10 fantasy tight end both seasons. Even with the addition of new starters at wideout in A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, Henry remains a focal point of the Patriots' passing game under QB Drake Maye, who has established trust with Henry over his first two seasons. Drafting him at TE18 means paying for his floor instead of the TE1 production he's already demonstrated in this offense; he remains a safer veteran value with a realistic 60/650/6 outlook and a chance to average five targets per game.NegativeRoleJul 2, 2026
Going into his age-32 season, Henry has become very touchdown-dependent. The Patriots drafting Eli Raridon signals they are preparing to move on from the veteran soon, limiting his long-term dynasty value.
