Hunter Henry

Hunter Henry failed to catch his lone target in the Chargers' divisional round loss to the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Henry played just 14 snaps in his first game action since tearing his ACL back in May. Still just 24 years old, Henry's fantasy stock heading into next year would rise considerably if Antonio Gates retires.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting Chargers TE Hunter Henry (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's Divisional Round tilt at the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Henry has missed the entire 2018 season with a torn ACL suffered in May, but the Chargers are "optimistic" that he plays on Sunday. While he could be rusty and on a pitch count, the Patriots struggle to defend the tight end and are a terrific matchup for Henry to make an impact given the situation. He's a dirt cheap DFS option on FanDuel who is worth plugging into lineups, especially GPPs.

Hunter Henry (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Fantasy Impact

It has been just seven months since Henry tore his ACL, but he is set to return versus the Patriots this Sunday. The 24-year-old will likely be on a snap count. Fantasy players shouldn't expect him to contribute much.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting the Chargers did not activate TE Hunter Henry (knee) from the PUP list in time for Sunday's Wild Card round matchup with Baltimore.

Fantasy Impact

While Henry is out for today's game in Baltimore, reports are suggesting that the Chargers will activate their star tight end on Monday should they advance to the Divisional Round. However, it may be too little too late by then if the Ravens are victorious at home. Antonio Gates and Virgil Gren will handle the TE duties once again on Wild Card Sunday.

Chargers coach Anthony Lynn says it remains to be seen if Hunter Henry (knee) plays on Sunday versus Baltimore.

Fantasy Impact

Henry is working his way back from ACL surgery this past May, so this would be a reasonably quick return. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier this week Henry will suit up versus the Ravens. If he actually plays Henry will surely be on a pitch count. DFS players should temper their expectations.
