Hunter Henry

Week 16 vs. Oakland Raiders
In Week 15, Henry lost a fumble, had two receptions on two targets for 29 yards, 22 air yards, 5% of the team targets, and 6% of the team air yards.

Henry had a brutal matchup against the Vikings last week but is in a bounce-back spot this week. Oakland is the fourth-worst defense against tight ends, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. 4for4’s rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Henry ranked as the half PPR TE7. Henry hasn’t topped 40 yards in his last three games but he is projecting as a mid TE1, has a favorable matchup and is better than any widely available streaming options for championship matchups.

Week 14 at Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars are 13th against tight ends, as shown by our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. 4for4’s rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Henry ranked as the half PPR TE5. The Jaguars play zone defense at a high rate, per Evan Silva, so Henry could be targeted heavily in the short passing game.

Week 11 vs. Kansas City Chiefs (Mexico City)
In Week 10, Henry had four receptions on seven targets for 30 yards, 92 air yards, 23% of the team targets, and 23% of the team air yards and finished as the half PPR TE9.

Tight end is extremely thin this week with Evan Engram injured and on a bye, George Kittle questionable at best, and Austin Hooper potentially out a month with a sprained MCL. Be thankful to have Hunter Henry. The Chiefs are 10th against tight ends, as shown by our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. The matchup isn’t ideal but Henry is a must-start because he is one of the few healthy top tight ends playing this week. 4for4’s rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Henry ranked as a high-end half PPR TE2 in Week 11.
