NE TE Hunter Henry - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Texans

As has become expected, Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith limit each other in fantasy and it happened against Sunday against the Bucs. The good news is both scored their first touchdown of the season and both saw five targets. The edge for Henry is he continues to out-snap Smith (40-28 in Week 4) and had 18 more yards than Smith. Henry is a borderline TE1 against the worst team against tight ends in our schedule-adjusted matchup rankings.

NE TE Hunter Henry - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs Buccaneers

Has Hunter Henry entrenched himself as the TE1 in New England? Henry has played over 70 percent of the snaps each week this season, while Jonnu Smith has dipped to under 42 percent in Week 3. Still, neither tight end has a game over 50 yards yet this season. Eventually, someone will break through, but this is sort of what we expected, that both tight ends would negate each other for fantasy purposes. Henry slots in as our No. 16 TE this week.

NE TE Hunter Henry - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs Saints

Hunter Henry saw one more target in Week 2 (4) than he did in Week 1 (3) and saw his snap percentage go from 72 percent to 81, seeing 18 more snaps in Week 2 than his counterpart, Jonnu Smith. But with so many mouths to feed, including Smith's, Henry remains in TE2 territory. Someone will eventually break through, we just don't know who it will be.

NE TE Hunter Henry - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Jets

New England wasn't kidding about getting both tight ends involved, as both Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith played almost 75% of the snaps in Week 1 and the team played 49% of snaps out of 12 personnel. But Henry always felt like he was a bit behind Smith, even going back to the contracts both signed in March. That continued in Week 1, as Smith saw five targets while Henry saw just three. Henry may see more targets in Week 2 after being out-targeted by Smith in Week 2 and that upside alone makes him a TE2 and deeper option against the Jets.

NE TE Hunter Henry - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs Dolphins

Even with Jonnu Smith having a greater total value contract, Hunter Henry's is very rich in its own right. Both are averaging $12.5 million per year, both are going to be involved in the Patriots' offense. And having a rookie quarterback will help because Mac Jones may look to both tight ends as much as possible. That gives both tight ends upside, but don't expect either to jump into top-five consideration anytime soon. Let's also hope Henry can avoid the injury bug in 2021.

NE TE Hunter Henry - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Hunter Henry has overcome quite a bit over the past few seasons with the Chargers. He had a torn ACL in 2018 and dealt with other injuries and issues over the past two seasons. Despite that, he still averaged almost 60 catches and over 600 yards with nine total touchdowns in that time. Now he's getting $12.5 million a year from the Patriots.

Fantasy Downside

Henry, of course, is not the only tight end that received a contract averaging $12.5 million a year in New England. In fact, he wasn't even the first tight end to do so with the Patriots. That honor belongs to Jonnu Smith. Really, it means the Patriots will run a ton of 12 personnel, and, ultimately, both tight ends will start canceling each other out from being a high-end fantasy option among tight ends.

2021 Bottom Line

All that said, there could still be plenty of volume for both Henry and Smith to be solid No. 2 fantasy tight ends. But you add in Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and James White, among others, and there are a lot of mouths to feed in New England. Temper fantasy expectations for Henry.

LAC TE Hunter Henry - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Las Vegas

Henry bounced back last week against the Atlanta Falcons, as he caught six balls for 41 yards on eight targets. This was a welcomed sight for fantasy managers following a one-catch game the prior week. Henry has been mostly reliable this season, however with the injury and anticipated missed time to WR Mike Williams, Henry should see an uptick in targets and even possibly become the primary option in the red zone. With scarce options at the position in the fantasy semifinals, look toward Henry as a solid TE1 in his Thursday night matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
