Hunter Henry Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry caught 72.4 percent of the passes intended for him last year in his first season after tearing his ACL in 2018. He had a positive catch-rate difference of over eight percent and caught 60 percent of his targets in the end zone for three of his five total touchdowns. For a tight end, his 10.2 air yards per target would've been good for even the top receivers. Henry did this with a tight-window percentage of just 13.2 percent, so he definitely knows how to find the soft spots in an opposing defense. The 25-year-old has an issue with staying healthy, though, and he'll be dealing with a QB change in 2020. But if he can stay on the field, Henry should easily be a top-10 fantasy tight end.

Although Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry is looking for a long-term deal, he's also fine with playing the 2020 season under the franchise tag. The deadline for the two sides to work out a long-term extension is July 15. Henry has made no mention of a potential holdout this summer. The 25-year-old has struggled with injuries in his four seasons and played in only 12 games in 2019, but he had a career-high 55 catches for 652 yards and five touchdowns and was still a top-10 fantasy tight end at season's end. Even with Philip Rivers out of town and either quarterback Tyrod Taylor or rookie first-rounder Justin Herbert at the helm, Henry will be a top-10 fantasy tight end target on draft day.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry is signing his franchise tender on Monday, according to a source. It will lock him in for 2020 and guarantees his roughly $10 million salary. The two sides can still work on a long-term extension up until July 15. Henry hasn't played a full season in his four years, including missing all of 2018 due to injury, but he can be one of the top-tier tight ends in fantasy and real life if he can stay healthy for a full season. The 25-year-old second-round pick in 2016 caught a career-high 55 passes for 652 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games in 2019. Henry has 17 career TDs in 41 games played and will be a risk/reward TE1 for fantasy owners.
