Patriots' Hunter Henry: Only one catch in blowout loss
Rotowire
Henry caught one pass on two targets for five yards during the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
The Patriots offense struggled as a whole Sunday, with Drake Maye completing 14 of 25 passes (8.0 YPC) for 199 yards and two interceptions. Even with A.J. Brown (ankle, IR) sidelined for the last two weeks, Henry has logged just four catches for 45 yards on seven targets, and he's well behind pace to match his 60-768-7 receiving line (on 87 targets) across 17 regular-season games in 2025. Up next is a Week 4 road tilt against the Bills, whose defense held Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden catchless on three targets in a Week 3 win for Buffalo.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Jacksonville allowed Nate Adkins to score a touchdown in Week 2 at Denver, and he finished with three catches for 32 yards on three targets. Evan Engram was held in check with one catch for 17 yards on one target, and Harold Fannin Jr. had just two catches for 21 yards on three targets in Week 1. I don't think this is an easy matchup for Henry, but in New England's first full game without A.J. Brown (ankle) in Week 2 against Pittsburgh, Henry led the team in targets with five. He only finished with three catches for 40 yards, but he should continue to be a go-to option for Drake Maye this week. I like Henry as a low-end starter in deeper leagues.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
In New England's first full game without A.J. Brown (ankle) in Week 2 against Pittsburgh, Henry led the team in targets with five. He only finished with three catches for 40 yards, but he should continue to be a go-to option for Drake Maye until Brown is healthy. Henry should be considered a low-end starter in deeper leagues heading into Week 3 at Jacksonville, and he's worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Paces team with five targets sans AJB
Rotowire
Henry caught three of five targets for 40 yards in the Patriots' 20-3 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
In the team's first game without A.J. Brown (ankle), Henry ended up pacing the Patriots with his five targets, though Drake Maye spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers. While Henry led the team in looks, Romeo Doubs turned his four targets into three catches for a game-high 96 receiving yards. After two contests this season, Henry has six catches for 66 scoreless yards. He's one of many in the touchdown-or-bust bucket at tight end for fantasy.

Henry should benefit with A.J. Brown (ankle) out, and I like Henry as a low-end starter in all leagues. Eli Raridon could also have an increased role, and we'll see what happens with New England's receivers. But Henry did well in 2025 when featured, and he had eight catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets in Week 3 against the Steelers. Henry also had 11 games with at least five targets in 2025, including the playoffs, and he scored at least 10.6 PPR points in seven of those outings.

Henry should benefit with A.J. Brown (ankle) out, and we'll see how the Patriots also use Eli Raridon (3 percent rostered), who caught a touchdown in Week 1 at Seattle. Henry could be the top target for Drake Maye until Brown is healthy, and Henry is worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAAB. Raridon is worth adding in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Three catches in Week 1 loss
Rotowire
Henry brought in all three targets for 26 yards in the Patriots' 13-10 loss to the Seahawks on Wednesday.
The trusted tight end figures to remain an important component of the Patriots' air attack this season, but Henry had a quiet start to the campaign. The 31-year-old did tie for third in receptions and receiving yards on the night for the Patriots, and Henry will look to help Drake Maye atone for a three-interception night in a Week 2 home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Henry is worth using as a No. 1 Fantasy tight end in all leagues in Week 19 against Miami. He has scored at least 11.3 PPR points in four of his past five games, with three touchdowns over that span, and the Dolphins have allowed three tight ends in their past four games to score at least 10.1 PPR points.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Key part of offense in 2026
Rotowire
Henry is still expected to be a key part of the Patriots offense this season, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
The Patriots made several splashy moves this offseason, including the additions of wideouts A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, but Henry should remain a frequent target for Drake Maye. The veteran has caught 60 or more passes from the young QB in each of the last two seasons. There's also a lack of experienced options behind him on the tight end depth chart, giving Henry extra job security.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Extends deal with New England
Rotowire
Henry agreed to a two-year, $16 million contract extension with the Patriots on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
According to Schefter, the deal is worth up to $20 million and includes $14.5 million guaranteed. The 31-year-old Henry played the full 17-game regular-season slate for the Patriots in 2025, reeling in 60 of 87 targets for 768 yards and seven touchdowns and then putting together a 9-112-1 line on 15 targets over four playoff games. He had been entering the final year of his contract in 2026, but the extension will keep him on the Patriots' books through the 2028 campaign. Henry remains atop the Patriots' tight end depth chart and will continue to work as a key weapon for quarterback Drake Maye in the team's passing game, which sets Henry up for a steady weekly fantasy floor in 2026.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Remains top tight end
Rotowire
While Henry returns as the Patriots' top tight end, slotting behind him on the team's depth chart has yet to be solidified following Julian Hill's season-ending knee injury, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
As things stand, Eli Raridon, FB/TE Jack Westover, CJ Dippre and Tanner Arkin are in the mix for tight end targets that don't go Henry's way this season, though it's possible depth is added at the position in the coming weeks. Henry is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he turned in a 60-768-7 line on 87 targets in 17 regular-season games in 2025, and looking ahead to the coming campaign he's on track to maintain a steady weekly fantasy floor while working as a key weapon for QB Drake Maye in New England's passing game.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Added TE depth on the way
Rotowire
Coach Mike Vrabel indicated the Patriots plan to add to a tight-end corps led by Henry before training camp in the wake of the season-ending injury Julian Hill (knee) sustained during OTAs, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
With Hill on IR and Austin Hooper now with the Falcons, 2026 third-rounder Eli Raridon is next up behind Henry on the depth chart, with CJ Dippre, Tanner Arkin and FB/TE Jack Westover also currently in the mix. Henry -- who is heading into the final season of the three-year deal he signed with New England in March 2024 -- put up a 60/768/7 receiving line on 87 targets in 17 regular-season games in 2025. He's slated to remain a key target for rising young QB Drake Maye in 2026, a context that gives Henry a stable weekly floor from a fantasy perspective.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Strong production in 2025
Rotowire
Henry caught 60 of 87 targets for 768 yards and seven touchdowns over 17 games during the 2025 regular season.
Henry was able to appear in all 17 of the team's regular-season contests for the first time since 2022, and he notched a career-high 768 receiving yards. His seven touchdowns were his highest total since 2021, and he reeled in at least 60 passes for the second straight year and third time overall in his 10-year NFL career. The tight end also caught nine of 15 targets for 112 yards and a score over the Patriots' four games during the postseason. Henry has developed into being quite a reliable option for quarterback Drake Maye, and he'll look to keep it up in 2026.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Clear for Super Bowl LX
Rotowire
Henry (rest) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Henry was listed as DNP/LP/FP last week due to rest but still was one of nine Patriots to get tagged as questionable for Super Bowl LX. His lack of a listing to begin this week indicates he's good to go ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. In New England's three postseason contests to date, Henry has combined for a 6-81-1 line on 10 targets.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Gets early QUEST tag for Super Bowl
Rotowire
Henry (rest) is listed as questionable on Friday's injury report ahead of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.
Henry was estimated as DNP on Wednesday, was then listed as limited Thursday and finished the week with a designation of full. His injury tag is simply "rest," so not much should be read into the initial questionable label -- in fact, the Patriots appeared to play it safe with their statuses this week, tagging all nine players (including the four who were deemed full participants Friday and the three who were DNPs all week) as questionable. There's nothing at this point to suggest that Henry is actually in any danger of missing the Super Bowl, and next week's New England practice reports should provide much more insight into the health of the roster ahead of the title game versus Seattle.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Two catches in low-scoring AFCCG
Rotowire
Henry caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.
Neither passing game did much in challenging wintry conditions, as Drake Maye threw for only 86 yards. New England's defense carried the team into Super Bowl LX, in which Henry will face the Seahawks. Henry could be a key component of New England's game plan against a Seattle defense that has been supbar at defending tight ends this season while excelling against other skill positions.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: One catch Sunday
Rotowire
Henry caught one of his two targets for five yards in Sunday's 28-16 divisional-round win over the Texans.
Though Henry logged a 72 percent snap share in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, the Patriots' top TE recorded his lowest production of the entire 2025 campaign (regular season and postseason included). Looking ahead, Henry profiles as a bounce-back candidate in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos. Henry was held to one catch four times during the regular season, and in each instance he returned to a more prominent/productive role in his next outing.

Henry (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Henry was not spotted at the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports, but it appears he managed to get in limited reps despite having to manage a knee injury. Henry has scored three times in his last four appearances, including a 3-64-1 receiving line managed during New England's wild-card round win over the Chargers. He will have two more chances to upgrade to full practice reps ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Texans.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Scores only TD of playoff win
Rotowire
Henry caught three of five targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card game win over the Chargers.
Henry's 28-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter was the only touchdown by either team. The tight end tied with Stefon Diggs for the team lead in targets, but Rhamondre Stevenson (75) and Kayshon Boutte (66) both had more receiving yards. Henry has scored in three of his last four games dating back to the regular season, and he'll look to keep rolling in the AFC divisional round, when the Patriots host the winner of Monday's matchup between the Texans and Steelers.
