BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The New England Patriots' Hunter Henry, tight end, is a consistent option for managers seeking reliability at TE. In Sunday's 25-22 win over the New York Jets, Henry caught five of six targets for 45 yards, finishing just one yard shy of the team-leading mark by wideout Kayshon Boutte.
Quarterback Drake Maye exited with a concussion, pushing the Patriots toward a ground-heavy strategy with all three of their touchdowns on the ground. Henry did not have the opportunity to score in this one.
Hunter Henry doesn’t get enough praise for what he provides the #Patriots… he is so good at playing his role.pic.twitter.com/qIi3ELrt4O

The veteran tight end has been steady all season, posting 16 catches for 178 yards and a touchdown across his last three games. He has shown he can adapt and deliver regardless of the quarterback, whether it is Maye or Jacoby Brissett.
This week, he faces the Tennessee Titans. The Titans allow the sixth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends. Though it is a tough matchup, Henry's usage keeps his floor safe. Consider him a high-end TE2 with low-end TE1 potential if needed.
