Henry is TE7 on TE13 usage across his last four games, averaging 11.0 half PPR points on 7.7 expected points per contest. He set season highs with seven targets, seven catches, 71 yards, and a 24% target share in Week 7, extending a run where he found the end zone in both Week 5 and Week 6 while commanding at least four targets in four consecutive outings. Winks notes that A.J. Brown's decline paired with losses of Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins has led to more reliance on the TE duo. Miami has allowed the third-most half PPR points per game to TEs at 17.5, recently allowing 5-62-2 to Mason Taylor (TE1) in Week 7 and 13-119-0 to T.J. Hockenson (TE2) in Week 4. New England heads on the road as 7.5-point road favorites with a 26.0-point implied total (fifth).PositiveProjectionOct 30, 2026
Henry is running hot, posting 10-plus PPR points in four straight weeks and ranking as TE8 in expected fantasy points (37.6) since Week 4. Over that span, he has a 19-225-2 receiving line on 21 targets (tied for ninth-most among TEs since Week 4). While he's only 14th in total routes run (105), his 20.0 percent targets per route rate ranks 10th highest at his position (min. 20 targets). He's 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.NegativeRoleOct 27, 2026

Hunter Henry has generated more first downs than any other pass-catcher and holds the second-most red-zone targets. However, his value is constrained by the Patriots' offensive line injuries; as more linemen go down, Henry may spend increased time as a blocker (already at 16.8% pass-blocking snap rate). His route rate in Week 6 was 69% with a 14% target share and 20% middle-of-field target rate.NegativeProjectionOct 20, 2026

Henry caught one of Drake Maye's three touchdown passes in Week 6, posting a 4-48-1 line; he represents a beneficiary of Maye's early-career distribution pattern where the favorite receiver is the guy with the good matchup.NegativeRoleOct 16, 2026
Henry faces a true tight end committee with Eli Raridon forcing a split. Raridon ran half of the routes last week, 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, meaning he's not seeing the field enough or earning enough targets to be a viable fantasy option.NegativeValueOct 14, 2026

Henry projects for 39.5 yards in Week 2 against Pittsburgh, ranking nineteenth among tight ends in the source's projections.PositiveProjectionSep 17, 2026
Henry is stepping back into a familiar role after A.J. Brown suffered a high ankle sprain and was placed on injured reserve (missing at least four games). With a 17% target share and 74% route share last season and little target competition outside of 32-year-old Mack Hollins and Romeo Doubs, Henry lit up Pittsburgh last season with eight receptions on 11 targets for 90 yards and two TDs, and has had multiple touchdowns in 3 of 4 career matchups against the Steelers. The source expects Drake Maye to bounce back and lean on Henry as his security blanket.NegativeValueSep 16, 2026

Henry never established a meaningful role in the Patriots' passing game in Week 1. With A.J. Brown out for six weeks, the source is concerned that somebody in this group needs to emerge and command targets.PositiveRoleSep 13, 2026
With A.J. Brown sidelined for six weeks, Hunter Henry is expected to be one of the main targets in the passing game and can be a possible starting option in fantasy leagues.NegativeRoleSep 10, 2026
Hunter Henry's pre-snap alignment changes were easily read by Seattle's defense, with defenders signaling immediately when Henry swapped sides and changed the formation strength. This suggests the Patriots' protection plan and offensive design may struggle to create confusion against elite defenses.PositiveProjectionSep 8, 2026

Henry is another veteran with a safe floor who has built a strong rapport with Drake Maye. He finished as TE9 in 2025 after reeling in 60 catches for over 700 yards and seven TDs. The Patriots signed Romeo Doubs and traded for A.J. Brown, so he faces more target competition. Still, Henry could make up for the lack of target volume if he becomes Maye's favorite red zone target.NegativeRoleAug 28, 2026

TE7 finish with TE22 ADP at age 32; Henry carried an injury-prone tag early in his career but has thrown that in the trash—he's missed just four games in the last five seasons. The Patriots added significant talent to their WR room, but Henry's experience and size make him a fun pick at this inexpensive ADP. The source has no problem projecting Henry for a useful 60-720-6 type of season, which would easily beat his market cost.NegativeValueJul 30, 2026
