LAC TE Hunter Henry - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

LAC TE Hunter Henry - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

LAC TE Hunter Henry - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

LAC TE Hunter Henry - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Carolina

Henry had another solid outing in Week 2 as he caught six of his eight targets for 83 yards. Regardless of QB, Henry seems to be safest option in this LA passing game with his trajectory continuing to rise. Henry will continues to compile receptions and yards so it is only a matter of time until the touchdowns follow as he is already on track to see the most targets of his career. Keep Henry in your lineups as he should be viewed as a solid TE1 in his matchup against Carolina.

LAC TE Hunter Henry - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Kansas City

Seemingly the biggest beneficiary of Tyrod Taylor under center was Hunter Henry, who tied for second in targets with Keenan Allen but led the team with five receptions for 73 yards. Henry looked good in this one and it appears he is finally healthy, an issue plaguing the last two seasons. This type of early production keeps Henry firmly in the TE1 tier and we like him as low-end TE1 against Kansas City.

LAC TE Hunter Henry - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Cincinnati

When he has been on the field, Hunter Henry has shown exceptional talent in production. Heading into 2020 fully healthy, it will be curious to see how he meshes with Tyrod Taylor and what his role will be in this offense. The good news for Henry is that Taylor has an affinity for targeting his TEs and now that they are down Mike Williams, Henry might get more red-zone looks than usual. Feel free to start Henry as low-end TE1 for the season opener.

LAC TE Hunter Henry - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
The Chargers will have a new quarterback in 2020 after Philip Rivers' offseason departure to Indianapolis. Rivers started all 235 games for the team since 2006 so the upcoming season will certainly be one of transition. Keeping a degree of continuity was a priority, so the team used the franchise tag on Hunter Henry in March. By doing so they have armed that new quarterback with a tight end known for his abilities as both a receiver and blocker. Henry missed four games due to injury last season, but he still had career highs in targets, catches and receiving yards. In three seasons -- he sat out all but one game in 2018 because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament -- Henry has scored 17 touchdowns. Per NFL.com, Henry ranked eighth in fantasy points per game (12.5) among tight ends, and he scored double-digit points in eight of his 12 games in 2019.

Fantasy Downside
The downside here is easy. It's the same reason Henry is playing on the franchise tag rather than a long-term contract. The problem, of course, has been staying on the field; Henry's missed 23 games in four years and played just 12 over the last two. He has to prove he can remain in the locked and upright position for a full 16 games.

2020 Bottom Line
Whoever is throwing the ball for the Chargers in 2020 will continue to lean on Henry, who should remain a top-10 fantasy tight end. As CBSSports.com suggests, with a 71.2-percent career catch rate, he definitely has the potential to approach 1,000-yards if he can manage a full season.
