Hunter Henry Week 3 Outlook - Raiders at Patriots

It didn't matter who the quarterback was for the Chargers when it came to Henry, who saw the exact same eight targets in each game. His 156 yards through two weeks ranks second among tight ends. Sadly, tight ends haven't produced against the new defensive scheme in Carolina, as they've allowed a miniscule 1.06 PPR points per target on the season. It's a very small sample size but allowing just 58 yards on 13 targets is good no matter which way you slice it. When you find out those tight ends were Darren Waller, Rob Gronkowski, and O.J. Howard, you should be even more impressed. The Bucs and Raiders totaled just 65 pass attempts in the two games against the Panthers, too, so it's not likely that this game brings a lot of volume. You're starting Henry every week with the targets he's getting, but based on what we've seen from this defense, you need to temper expectations to low-end TE1 territory.
