Week 14 vs Atlanta
After excellent production in November, Henry started off December by producing his worst game of the season against the Patriots last week as he had one reception for five yards on two targets. The entire offense was stifled in this one, however, no one had worst production than Henry who was one catch away from a goose egg. There is hope on the horizon as Week 14 brings the Atlanta Falcons who currently rank 24th in aFPA to WRs this season. In a game that should feature plenty of offense, trust Henry as a solid TE1 in the opening week of the fantasy football playoffs.
Week 1 vs New England
Henry had another solid game last week against Buffalo as he turned a season-high 10 targets into seven receptions for 67 yards. With the return of Austin Ekeler, the offense was more diverse in its passing attack and Henry was one of the beneficiaries. Henry now has three consecutive games of double-digit fantasy points in PPR leagues and he is averaging 7.6 targets during this stretch. Henry is finally starting to produce the type of fantasy numbers managers were hoping for all season, so keep Henry plugged in as a top-five TE1 this week against New England.
Week 12 at Buffalo
Henry had a solid game last week against the New York Jets as he caught 4-of-7 targets for 48 yards and one touchdown. After only having one touchdown before Week 10, Henry has now scored in back-to-back games. It is a great sign for Henry as it once looked this season was going to be a wash for his productivity. With Justin Herbert growing in each game, Henry’s role in this offense seems to be that of a red-zone target. Whatever the case, Henry can be trusted as TE1 in this one.
Week 11 vs New York Jets
Henry finally struck pay dirt for the second time this season last week against Miami, as he caught four balls for 30 yards and one touchdown. Henry once again saw a healthy amount of targets with six, and his score salvaged what otherwise was another middling game for him. With the TE position being as scarce as ever this year, Henry will remain a firm TE1 in Week 11 against the Jets.
Week 10 at Miami
Henry had yet another middling game last week against the Raiders, as he caught four of his seven targets for 33 yards. It is beginning to look like a lost season for Henry, as he came into the season as one of the league’s brightest young tight ends who seemed to be on the same trajectory as Travis Kelce and George Kittle. It is clear now that isn’t the case.
With Mike Williams seeing an expanded role and Keenan Allen being one of the league’s biggest target hogs, Henry will remain limited to short passes with hardly any yards. Given the poor state of the TE position, Henry has been consistent enough to stay a back-end TE1 against Miami.
Week 9 vs Las Vegas
Henry had yet another blasé game last week against Denver as he caught all four of his targets for 33 yards. With both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams getting the bulk of the targets, as well as the running backs seeing plenty of work in the passing game, Henry was the odd man out in this one. Henry hasn’t had the type of season most were hoping and at this point in the season, it’s looking less likely it happens. If Mike Williams ends up performing regularly as he did last week, then Henry’s stock has all but sunk. For now, keep Henry in the low-end TE1 mix.
Week 8 at Denver
Henry saw seven targets last week against Jacksonville which he turned into three receptions for 27 yards. It was not a good game for Henry, yet seeing those types of targets his way is still an encouraging sign. QB Justin Herbert has been throwing the ball Henry’s way this season, however, he has been having a mostly uneventful year. With the abundance of targets he will continue to see in at the tight end position, Henry should still be able to put up low-end TE1 numbers in this one.
Week 7 vs Jacksonville
Henry caught his first score of the season prior to the bye week, as he finished his Week 5 contest with a stat line of 4-23-1 on eight targets. With Keenan Allen going down early, Henry saw a steady flow of targets throughout the game, however, it was a little disappointing to not see him be more productive. Henry still has not produced to his talent level, but he is at least getting the opportunity to be productive. Henry will once again be a middling TE1 in this one, but he has potential to have a blow-up game any week.
Week 5 at New Orleans
It was a rough outing last week for Henry against Tampa Bay as he only saw three targets which he turned into two receptions for 39 yards—all of which were season lows. It was an off day for Henry as Justin Herbert zeroed in on Keenan Allen all game long. There will be better days for Henry as before this contest, he had not seen less than seven targets a game, so we will take his Week 4 performance as an outlier. With Austin Ekeler due to miss extended time with an injury, Henry should see his fair share of targets moving forward. Henry is bound to rebound this week against the Saints as New Orleans ranks 28th in aFPA to TEs, firmly keeping Henry in TE1 mix.
Week 4 at Tampa Bay
Henry continued his solid season last week against Carolina as he caught five of his seven targets for 50 yards. Once again one of Justin Herbert’s top targets, Henry appears to be over the ankle injury he suffered late in Week 2.
Henry’s Week 4 matchup will be a stiff one against Tampa Bay as they have the 11th-lowest aFPA against tight ends this season. Henry has yet to score a touchdown this season, limiting his overall ceiling. However his production has been good enough for him to be a solid TE1 in this contest.
