BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end TE1
ANALYSIS: Hunter Henry has emerged as a reliable option for fantasy football managers, especially after his impressive Week 2 performance, where he tallied eight receptions on 12 targets for 109 yards.
Henry has consistently been involved in the passing game as the Patriots' primary tight end, particularly in an offense that lacks a dominant wide receiver.
His chemistry with quarterback Jacoby Brissett, especially in red-zone situations, enhances his value as a low-end TE1, given his ability to secure short-to-intermediate targets and contribute to the team's ball movement.
Hunter Henry
- 18.9 Fantasy Points Week 2
- 8 Catches, 109 Yards
- 12 TargetsJacoby Brissett seems to have QB-TE chemistry with Henry.
Has played 80%+ snaps in both games this season- an important metric for TEs.
Streamable against NYJ in Week 3.

Looking ahead to the matchup against the Jets, Henry faces a defense that is strong in coverage but has shown vulnerabilities against tight ends in previous seasons. With Brissett likely to lean on short passes to avoid the aggressive Jets’ pass rush, Henry should continue to see a healthy target share, giving him a solid floor in PPR formats.
While he may not have the upside of elite tight ends, Henry’s role and volume make him a dependable option in Week 3, particularly for fantasy managers seeking stability at the tight end position.
