New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught two of three targets for nine yards during Thursday's loss to the New York Jets. Henry had broke out for eight catches and 109 yards in Week 2, but he was dealt a harsh reality check as his production came way back down to earth in Week 3. The veteran pass-catcher still has a strong rapport with Jacoby Brissett. However, there simply aren't enough targets to go around to support consistent fantasy production from several pass-catchers. Just like Week 2 was a Henry week, Week 3 belonged to Demario Douglas, who caught seven passes for 69 yards. Henry is a candidate to bounce back in Week 4, but given the Patriots' unpredictability on offense, he's a mid-range TE2.

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry had two receptions for nine yards during the team's Week 3 loss to the New York Jets. Henry was targeted three times.

Fantasy Spin: Through three weeks it has been feast or famine with the veteran tight end. In Week 1, he caught two passes for 18 yards. This past Sunday, he logged a 8-109-0 line. And then, tonight, it was back on the struggle bus. The most encouraging thing about Henry is that he should stay involved no matter who is starting at quarterback. Jacoby Brissett is as risk averse as any QB in the NFL, and a rookie like Drake Maye could look to lean on a reliable underneath target. That gives Henry weekly upside, though the risk should be obvious after two duds in three games.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry's strong Week 2 showing has thrust him back into fantasy consideration for Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets. After a quiet season opener, he bounced back with one of the best games of his career last week, catching eight of 12 targets for 109 yards. He didn't find the end zone, but more importantly, he showed off a spectacular rapport with quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Henry might not be able to replicate his Week 2 stat line in Week 3, but he should at least perform enough to stay on the fantasy radar, especially against a Jets defense allowing the 11th-most receptions to tight ends so far. He ranks as a fringe TE1 option heading into Thursday's primetime AFC East showdown.

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry was good for eight receptions for a team-high 109 yards and 12 targets in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Fantasy Spin: Henry had the eight grabs and 109 yards, while all other receivers combined had seven receptions for 40 yards. Obviously, if that continues, Henry is going to be in the TE1 territory in most fantasy leagues. The Patriots travel to meet the New York Jets on short rest in Week 3 Thursday.

From TheHuddle

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught eight of 12 targets for 109 yards during the team's 23-20 overtime loss against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. The veteran was the target on nearly half of Jacoby Brissett's pass attempts, showcasing a strong rapport and sense of trust between the tight end and quarterback. Nevertheless, this outcome may have surprised some fantasy managers who expected a quieter game from Henry after he caught just two passes in the season opener. Henry's big Week 2 game gives him plenty of fantasy intrigue ahead of Week 3, but managers should still temper expectations knowing that the Patriots want to employ a run-first approach this year. As a result, Henry is more of a security blanket or reliable veteran option rather than a star target. He can be viewed as a mid-to-high TE2 heading into Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets.

Patriots' TE Hunter Henry had 8 receptions for 109 yards but no touchdowns in Sunday's loss against the Seahawks.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has struggled to produce consistent fantasy points during his time with the team, including last week's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Now, in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks, Henry remains far from a lock to see meaningful volume. The Patriots have placed an emphasis on letting their defense and rushing attack carry them, which leads to fewer looks for all receivers in the passing game. At this point, we can't expect Henry to get more than a few catches every game, especially with Austin Cooper seemingly stealing a decent portion of opportunities. Henry is heavily touchdown-dependent and can be avoided in most fantasy leagues this week, even despite injuries at the position necessitating plenty of lineup adjustments.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught two of his three targets for 18 yards during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He continues to give the Patriots a reliable veteran presence at tight end, and while his fantasy production is somewhat dependent on touchdowns, he's still a solid bench option in deeper leagues. The biggest factor holding Henry back is the Patriots' commitment to the running game. New England passed just 24 times on Sunday, which likely isn't enough volume to allow Henry to produce on a consistent basis. He's a fringe top-24 tight end heading into next week against Seattle.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (foot) has been removed from Friday's final injury report and will be good to go for the Week 1 regular-season opener this Sunday versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Henry was a full participant in the first official practice of the year on Wednesday, so there was never really any doubt whether he'd suit up and play this weekend after dealing with a foot injury during training camp. Fantasy managers can't really get too excited about any of the offensive skill players in New England's offense this year in what is expected to be one of the most lackluster units, but the 29-year-old Henry could be a valuable safety blanket for both quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye as they play catchup on the scoreboard more often than not. Heading into Week 1, fantasy managers should treat Henry as a TE2 sleeper against Cincy.

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 6, and has been removed from the Week 1 injury report.

Fantasy Spin: Henry should not have any limitations this week and probably will be a reliable target for Jacoby Brissett during the game. He is still only a No. 2 tight end in fantasy leagues at this time.

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) fully participated in practice Thursday, Sept. 5.

Fantasy Spin: Henry should see a decent amount of targets this week but is probably only a No. 2 tight end in fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (foot) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. This comes as good news for a Patriots team in need of offensive weapons. Henry will start at tight end and should continue his success in the red zone for the Patriots. In 2023 he recorded 42 receptions for 419 yards and six touchdowns. He has scored 17 touchdowns during his Patriots career. The Patriots do not project to be a high-powered offense. However, Henry should have his usual share of solid weeks as a tight end streamer.

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 4.

Fantasy Spin: Henry was sidelined for a good part of training camp because of the injury but probably will not have any limitations against the Cincinnati Bengals. He should be a popular target in the passing game for the Patriots but may only be a No. 2 fantasy tight end.

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (undisclosed) is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season even though he missed the last preseason game because of an undisclosed injury, according to head coach Jerod Mayo.

Fantasy Spin: Henry should be a main target for whoever starts for the Patriots this season but may only be a No. 2 tight end in most fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (undisclosed) didn't play in the team's second preseason contest against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday and he remained out of practice as well. Head coach Jerod Mayo was asked if there was any cause for concern for a banged-up tight end room and he said, "I would say these aren't extended recoveries for these guys. They'll be ready to go relatively early in the season." Henry, along with backups Austin Hooper (undisclosed) and Mitchell Wilcox (calf) are all listed as questionable right now. In terms of fantasy relevance, Henry has the most potential out of this group, so if he's ready by the beginning of the season, he should serve as a solid streaming option at tight end.

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Tuesday, Aug. 13.

From TheHuddle

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (unspecified) won't practice Tuesday. Head coach Jerod Mayo says he doesn't anticipate it being a long-term injury. The issue reportedly emerged during Sunday's practice, leading to Henry sitting out on Monday and now being set to miss at least one more session. After being rested for the preseason opener, he seems unlikely to play in Thursday's exhibition against the Eagles. However, the Patriots don't appear overly concerned about his availability for Week 1. Henry, who signed a three-year deal with New England in 2021, was a top offseason priority for Eliot Wolf, who secured a new three-year contract for him just before he hit free agency. The deal includes a base salary of $27 million, with a maximum value of $30 million, reflecting the franchise's high regard for him. Over his first three seasons with the Patriots, Henry averaged 44 receptions, 510 receiving yards, and six touchdowns per year. Despite experiencing standout games and periods of inconsistency, his production has been solid, especially considering the turnover in offensive coordinators and inconsistent quarterback play. Additionally, New England's offensive line struggles often required him to stay in as an extra blocker. A two-time Pro Bowler, Austin Hooper appears poised to take over as the primary backup, replacing Mike Gesicki from last season. If Henry returns to full health, he could be a reliable bye-week replacement tight end.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been the top dog at the position so far in offseason workouts. Henry has been reliable between the numbers for the team's quarterbacks. Along with Henry, seventh-round rookie Jaheim Bell is finding his footing in practices, and his speed to run the seam has become more apparent with each repetition. Austin Hooper has struggled at times to create separation and is set to carve out more of a role as a blocker in the run game than as a receiver. The 29-year-old had a career-low 419 receiving yards in a bad Patriots offense last year, but don't let his six touchdown passes go overlooked. He signed a three-year extension to stay in New England this offseason and should once again be a highly-used red-zone target by either quarterback Jacoby Brissett or rookie Drake Maye. Henry could be an intriguing touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy, especially if Maye takes the starting job sooner than later.
