Hunter Henry Injury Update

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is officially questionable to face the Denver Broncos in Week 16. If the veteran can suit up, he'll face a Broncos defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season. However, the Patriots' offense is tough to rely on and he's touchdown-dependent, so consider him a mid-range TE2 if he suits up on Sunday.

Cole Kmet Injury Update

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (quad) is officially questionable to play against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16. He practiced in a limited capacity on Friday. Kmet is a fringe TE1 option in most leagues. He has double-digit fantasy points in three consecutive games and found the end zone last weekend.

Luke Musgrave Injury Update

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) has been ruled out for Week 16 versus the Carolina Panthers. He remains on injured reserve and will miss his fifth consecutive game. This was widely expected, and Week 17 appears to be a much more realistic return date for the rookie. Until he's back, the Packers will deploy fellow rookie Tucker Kraft as their top tight end.

Chigoziem Okonkwo Injury Update

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo (illness) did not practice on Friday and is officially questionable to suit up against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16. With Ryan Tannehill potentially starting on Sunday since Will Levis (ankle) is likely on the wrong side of questionable, Okonkwo should be avoided in a neutral matchup for tight ends. Tight ends Trevon Wesco (shin) and Josh Whyle (knee) are also questionable, so all of the Titans' tight ends should be ignored for fantasy purposes.
