BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has a good quarterback now. Rookie Drake Maye impressed in his debut in Week 6, completing three passes to Henry for 41 yards and a touchdown. The involvement in the offense and red-zone opportunities make the 29-year old a viable fantasy pass-catcher now.

Maye's athleticism and improvisational skills will give a boost in fantasy football scoring to everyone on his team. While No. 85 didn't have a ton of targets, he's still a good player, and his role should grow in the offense. He's a legitimate touchdown threat as well, and expect the rookie QB to look his way more.
It's been tough to find consistent tight end production this year, and Henry is on the short-list of players who have a good chance at bringing some stability to the position. It may take some time for him to build up more chemistry with his new QB, but things are trending positively, and he's worth starting even in 12-team fantasy leagues now.

It's a great feeling to have players who are sure-fire starters every week and rack up huge point totals regularly. However, most teams aren't loaded with premier top-10 players at their positions. Most teams' RB2 and RB3/FLEX players have plenty of variability in their weekly scoring. There are also changes that shake up many backfields […]
