Henry had a down game in Week 5 at Buffalo with two catches for 46 yards on four targets, but I'm hopeful he'll bounce back in Week 6 at the Saints. New Orleans is No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and the Saints have allowed three touchdowns to tight ends in the past two weeks against Dalton Kincaid and Theo Johnson (two). For the season, five tight ends have scored at least 9.2 PPR points against New Orleans, and Henry is worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
Henry was disappointing last week, and Stefon Diggs has emerged as the WR1 the Patriots so desperately needed. These are the reasons I expect Henry's roster rate to be lower this week. But the Saints have been a bottom-six defense against the position, and they have given up four touchdowns in the last four weeks to tight ends.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Gains 46 yards Sunday
Rotowire
Henry had two receptions on four targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.
Henry ripped off a pair of 20-plus yard receptions in order to check in as the Patriots' second-leading receiver despite finishing with just the two receptions Sunday. The veteran starter failed to extend his modest scoring streak to three games on a night when the passing offense accounted for zero touchdowns. Henry has been a pleasant surprise in fantasy crossing the quarter point of the regular season, producing a 17-250-3 receiving line heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Saints next Sunday.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: BUST ALERT
Rotowire
This could be a tough game for Henry against the Bills, who are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Mark Andrews, Mason Taylor and Juwan Johnson have combined for just 8.8 PPR points against Buffalo, and Henry doesn't have a great history against the Bills. In his past five meetings against Buffalo, Henry has combined for just 15 catches for 130 yards and a touchdown, and he's been held to 4.7 PPR points or less in three of those outings. Henry should be considered a low-end starting option at best in the majority of leagues in Week 5.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Another TD in Week 4 win
Rotowire
Henry secured both targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 42-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
The veteran tight end continued to flash encouraging chemistry with Drake Maye, getting into the end zone for the third time in the last two games on a 31-yard catch to cap off the first drive of the second half. Henry's reception and target totals have fluctuated considerably week to week, but a Week 5 road battle against the Bills next Sunday night could well turn out to be one of his busier games considering New England figures to have to remain aggressive on offense.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: TEs to Start
Rotowire
Henry had a huge game in Week 3 against Pittsburgh with eight catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets, and he's now scored at least 10.6 PPR points in two of three games this season. He's the one constant in the receiving corps for Drake Maye, and I like Henry as a top-10 Fantasy tight end in all leagues. Trey McBride is the lone tight end to do damage against the Panthers with 13.8 PPR points in Week 2, but five tight ends combined have scored at least 6.5 PPR points against Carolina, which means the Panthers struggle to defend the position.
You can't leave 29 Fantasy points on the waiver wire, no matter how sporadic his production. Henry was Drake Maye's top target last year as well, leading the Patriots in targets, receptions, and receiving yards on targets from Maye. The only thing he didn't have last year was the touchdowns. He already has as many from Maye this year as he had last year. The Patriots wide receiver room just has not developed in 2025 and that works out great for Henry.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Week 4 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Henry had a standout game in Week 3 against Pittsburgh with eight catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets. He now has at least eight targets in two of three games this season, and he's been the most reliable pass catcher for Drake Maye to start the year. Henry is worth trusting as a low-end starter in all leagues heading into Week 4 against Carolina, and he should be added for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Two TDs in Week 3 loss
Rotowire
Henry caught eight of 11 targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Steelers.
The veteran tight end's connection with QB Drake Maye was just about the only thing working for the Patriots on the afternoon. No other New England player caught more than four passes (Mack Hollins) or had more than 38 receiving yards (Rhamondre Stevenson), and the backfield combined to lose an incredible four fumbles -- two by Stevenson, and one each by Maye and Antonio Gibson. Henry will take 13-165-2 line on 22 targets through three games into a Week 4 meeting with a Panthers defense that has looked vulnerable to TEs so far.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Week 2 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Henry had a solid Week 1 outing against Las Vegas with four catches for 66 yards on eight targets, and he tied Kayshon Boutte for the team lead in targets against the Raiders. We'll see if this continues moving forward, but Henry has now scored at least 10.6 PPR points in four of his past six games going back to last season. Henry is worth adding in all leagues for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Four catches Sunday
Rotowire
Henry caught four of his eight targets for 66 yards in the Patriots' 20-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
Henry -- whose eight targets tied for the team lead -- was on the field for 66 of a possible 71 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, while fellow tight end Austin Hooper logged 23 snaps and one catch for 10 yards. In the weeks ahead, Henry should continue to maintain enough of a workload and target volume to merit fantasy lineup consideration. Next up for the Patriots is a road game against a Miami team that lost to Indianapolis in Week 1 by a score of 33-8.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
The Raiders were No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends last season, and Henry should get a healthy amount of targets from Drake Maye in this matchup. Henry closed 2024 with at least 12.3 PPR points in three of his final five games, and hopefully, he'll pick up where last season ended.

Henry closed 2024 with at least 12.3 PPR points in three of his final five games, and hopefully he'll pick up where last season ended. I'll take the over on his 3.5 receptions for his prop on FanDuel.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Among starters rested Thursday
Rotowire
Henry didn't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants.
After logging six snaps in the Patriots' preseason opener, Henry didn't see action in the team's final two exhibition tilts, with an eye toward keeping him healthy ahead of Week 1. Henry, who is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a receiving line of 66/674/2 on 97 targets in 16 games, approaches the coming campaign as New England's top pass-catching option in a TE corps that also returns Austin Hooper, who recorded 45 catches on 59 targets while working in tandem with Henry last year.

Henry (undisclosed) didn't practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
That said, Reiss notes that Henry -- who also missed Monday's session -- could return to practice as soon as Thursday. If that's the case, and the tight end is able to work fully in that scenario, he could be available for Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings.

Rotowire
Henry (undisclosed) was held out of practice Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Participates in OTAs
Rotowire
Henry (foot) was on the field for Wednesday's practice during the Patriots' current voluntary organized team activities, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
A foot injury sidelined Henry for the final game of the 2024 regular season, but Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald relays that the tight end wasn't among the players limited at Wednesday's session. Henry, who recorded a receiving line of 66/674/2 on 97 targets in 16 games last season, is back for his fifth year with New England and is set to maintain his role as the top pass-catching option in a TE corps that also features fellow returnee Austin Hooper, who notched 45 catches in 2024.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Inactive Sunday
Rotowire
Henry (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Bills.
After being listed as limited at practice this past week, Henry carried a 'questionable' designation into the weekend. With Henry sidelined for the Patriots' season finale, Austin Hooper is available to lead a Week 18 tight-end corps that also includes Jaheim Bell and Jack Westover. Henry, who is under contract with New England through the 2026 campaign, thus concludes his fourth year with the franchise with a receiving line of 66/674/2 on 97 targets in 16 games.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Questionable for Week 18
Rotowire
Henry (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bills, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Henry was limited in practice during the entirety of Week 18 prep, thus leaving his status in flux heading into the weekend. With a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff on tap Sunday, his status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before that point. Having said that, even if he's available, Henry could cede some TE reps to Austin Hooper or perhaps even rookie seventh-round pick Jaheim Bell.
