Hunter Henry Week 11 Outlook - Patriots at Eagles

Hunter Henry (TE - NE)

Thankfully, Henry got into the end zone last week with Rivers struggling as much as he was. Henry has now seen 17 targets in the two games since firing Whisenhunt, so the new offense clearly doesn't shy away from him, especially when you know Rivers has only attempted 59 passes, which amounts to a massive 28.8 percent target share. The Chiefs have allowed plenty of points to tight ends this year (14.2 PPR points ranks 8th-most) but a lot of the production has been volume-based. The 6.07 yards per target they've allowed to the position actually ranks as the fourth-best number in football. Does their defense funnel targets to the tight end position? It could considering they've seen a league-leading 97 targets, which amounts to nearly 10 targets per game. They've allowed just three touchdowns on those targets, so we're targeting volume with Henry, and there's no tight end in the league who's averaged more opportunity than Henry since he returned. Start Henry as you normally would.
