BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE16
ANALYSIS: New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is the TE11 for the year, averaging 7.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The veteran tight end struggled to start the season, averaging 5.2 fantasy points per game over the first five weeks, totaling 4.2 or fewer in all but one contest.
However, Henry has been significantly better since the Patriots benched Jacoby Brissett for Drake Maye. The veteran tight end has averaged 5.3 receptions on 6.7 targets for 59.3 receiving yards and 10.6 fantasy points per game in the three contests with the rookie quarterback starting, totaling 11.6 or more in the first two matchups.

Hopefully, Maye can start Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans got obliterated by the Detroit Lions tight ends in Week 8, giving up seven receptions for 56 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 21.1 fantasy points.
Fantasy players can start Henry as a streaming tight end, especially if Maye plays.
