New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (foot) practiced in full on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Los Angeles Rams. Henry began the week by practicing in a limited capacity because of a foot issue. But the Pats will have the veteran on the field for Week 11. He has had flashes of efficiency, compiling seven or more catches three times this season. However, outside of that, Henry has been relatively quiet. But with notable tight ends like Dalton Kincaid (knee) and Sam LaPorta (shoulder) sidelined, Henry could find a place in fantasy lineups in Week 11, even more so if George Kittle (hamstring) doesn't suit up.
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (foot) was upgraded to a full participant during Thursday's practice session. Henry was limited to open the week, but the veteran tight end appears to be fine now. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about his status for this weekend after Henry got in a full practice session here. He figures to be ready to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1. Henry is looking to bounce back after posting a dud against the Chicago Bears last week. The 29-year-old has looked solid as the safety blanket for rookie quarterback Drake Maye.
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Henry has been a productive tight end in 2024, especially with rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Until Week 10, Henry had scored at least 9.5 fantasy points in four straight games. Maye looks to Henry as a safety valve, and Henry is delivering for both the Patriots and fantasy managers. While Henry has only scored one touchdown in 2024, he is on pace for a career-high 728 receiving yards. That is impressive considering how lackluster the Patriots' passing offense is. Still, Maye has proven himself capable of delivering the ball to his top options. Henry's appearance on the injury report this week is notable. However, considering he played 89% of the snaps in Week 10, this is likely a maintenance/rest day for the ninth-year pro. As long as Henry keeps up his activity in practice this week, he should be good to go on Sunday.
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry converted four targets into just one reception for 14 yards during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Chicago Bears. Henry had caught 23 passes for 234 yards and one touchdown over the previous four weeks, so his quiet showing in Chicago was not only disappointing but also surprising for many fantasy managers. Heading into Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams, Henry is a TE2 with TE1 upside.
Hunter Henry Firmly On Fantasy Radar Against Bears
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been quite productive lately and, as a result, is firmly positioned on the fantasy radar for Week 10 against the Chicago Bears. Over the last four weeks, with most of his targets coming from Drake Maye, the veteran tight end is averaging 5.8 catches, 58.5 receiving yards, and 0.3 touchdowns per game. The Patriots haven't had a whole lot of scoring opportunities, but their tendency to play from behind has created extra opportunities and targets for the team's pass catchers, including Henry. He's a firm TE1 option slated to command a large target share once again on Sunday.
Hunter Henry Leads Patriots In Receiving Yards Sunday
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught seven of eight targets for 56 yards during Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The veteran pass-catcher has been impressive over the last four weeks, totaling 23 catches, 234 yards, one touchdown, and 52.4 fantasy points (PPR) during that span. He has built a strong rapport with Drake Maye and will rank as a solid low-end fantasy TE1 heading into his Week 10 battle versus the Chicago Bears.
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has strung together three impressive games and continued to play well with Drake Maye (concussion) or Jacoby Brissett under center. Over the last three weeks, Henry has 16 catches, 178 yards, and one touchdown, accounting for roughly half of his season's production. This solid stretch has allowed Henry to rank as the overall TE9 during that span, posting more fantasy points per game than players like Tucker Kraft, Sam LaPorta, and Dalton Kincaid. On a less promising note, the road gets tougher for Henry this week against the Titans. Tennessee's defense has allowed the fourth-fewest catches, third-fewest receiving yards, and sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. As a result, Henry falls just outside the top 12 fantasy options at his position.
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry converted six targets into five catches for 45 yards during Sunday's Week 8 win over the New York Jets. The veteran pass-catcher has been on an impressive run lately, totaling 16 catches, 178 yards, and one touchdown over his last three games. At first, it seemed like the midseason benching of Jacoby Brissett was the main reason for Henry's sudden success. However, on Sunday, most of his production actually came with the veteran quarterback on the field. Henry caught just one pass before Drake Maye (head) exited the game; his remaining five targets and four catches came from Brissett. His splits suggest that he's a dependable fantasy option against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9 regardless of whether Maye is healthy or Brissett makes the start. Fantasy managers should view Henry as a high-end TE2 who can be justified as a viable replacement for tight ends injured or on bye.
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has returned to the fantasy radar heading into Week 8 against the New York Jets. Henry only had one fantasy-relevant game with Jacoby Brissett as his quarterback, so he didn't appear to have a whole lot of upside when Drake Maye took over the offense. However, he quickly proved to form a strong rapport with the rookie as the duo has combined for 11 completions, 133 yards, and one touchdown over Maye's two weeks as the starter. Henry has finished as a top-eight fantasy tight end in each of those two contests, so he's back on the fantasy radar ahead of Week 8. Fantasy managers should view him as a solid streamer, at the very least, and he'll become a more trustworthy week-over-week fantasy play if he turns in one more good showing on Sunday.
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught eight of nine targets for 92 yards during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. A switch seems to have been flipped for the veteran tight end ever since the Patriots replaced Jacoby Brissett with Drake Maye. Henry was off the fantasy radar with Brissett under center, but he has caught 11 passes for 133 yards and one touchdown through two games with Maye. His sudden rise to fantasy prominence is enough to justify deploying him as a low-end TE1 in Week 8 against the New York Jets.
