Week 17 at Buffalo Bills
Hunter Henry is trying to come back after missing the Week 16 win in Denver with a knee injury. He did return to practice but could be limited throughout and into the game. Keep an eye on the practice report Friday to get a better gauge on his situation.
Week 16 at Denver Broncos
Hunter Henry is still recovering from his knee injury he suffered in Week 15, just as he was building back momentum. He has seven catches for 66 yards and a touchdown against Kansas City before leaving. Keep an eye on the practice report for Friday. If he can’t go, it could open up an opportunity for Mike Gesicki.
Week 15 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Hunter Henry broke out of his slump, somewhat, against the Steelers in Week 14 with two touchdown catches. The Patriots really don’t have too many other options, so Henry gets some targets — but not a lot — almost by default. Henry remains a TE2 due to the lack of offense surrounding him and his lack of targets. If the Patriots get into the red zone however, keep an eye out for him.
Week 14 at Pittsburgh Steelers
The struggles continue for Hunter Henry, even with the quarterback switch. Henry saw four targets from Bailey Zappe in the 6-0 loss to the Chargers. He caught two for 15 yards. If you’re starting Henry at this point, you’re praying for a touchdown. Maybe it happens Thursday. He’s a low-end TE2 against the Steelers on a short week with a bad offense.
Week 13 vs. Los Angeles Chargers
You, yes you, had the same number of targets last week as Hunter Henry. His strong start to the season feels so long ago. The offense is a flat-out mess and it has zapped just about all fantasy value from Henry. He's a desperation play against the Chargers that's become touchdown-or-bust.
Week 12 at New York Giants
The offense has been down as a whole, namely at the quarterback position, and the tight end position, specifically Hunter Henry, has taken a hit as a result. Most of Henry's production came in the beginning of the season. And with the Patriots not even sure who the quarterback will be against the Giants, it's very hard to put any stock in Henry. It's been a rough time in New England for Henry.
Week 10 vs. Indianapolis Colts (Germany)
Hey, the Patriots remembered they had Hunter Henry in the red zone! In all seriousness, Henry scored his first touchdown since Week 3. That doesn't mean he's all the way back as a fantasy starter, but he can be a serviceable TE2 if you're in a pickle.
Week 9 vs. Washington Commanders
Hunter Henry’s three catches were his most since Week 5. That’s a pretty telling stat and sort of tells the story of his season in a nutshell, at least the last few weeks. With the offense as a whole struggling, Henry should be nowhere near starting lineups until further notice.
Week 8 at Miami Dolphins
Hunter Henry is dealing with a thigh injury and it was Mike Gesicki who caught the game-winning touchdown for the Patriots against the Bills. The position is becoming too crowded for fantasy purposes, with Pharoah Brown also being involved. It’s just too muddy on a week with no team on a bye. You can probably find a better option. The silver lining is that Henry did score a touchdown in the first meeting with Miami.
Week 7 vs. Buffalo Bills
So much for that hot start. Hunter Henry started the season with a touchdown in each of the first two weeks of the season with over 100 yards and 11 catches combined. He has seven catches for 75 yards in four games since. With Mac Jones struggling and causing the offense to hurt overall, Henry has lost almost all fantasy value. He's a deep TE2 at best this week against the Bills.
