Hunter Henry Week 12 Outlook - Cardinals at Patriots

Hunter Henry (TE - NE)

I feel like I'm living out Groundhog Day with Henry. I swear he's had like the same game for each of the last eight games. It feels like that because he's finished with exactly four receptions in five of his last six games and has posted between 23-50 yards in each of his last eight games. Oh, and he's finished between 4-8 targets in every game this season. Here are his weekly finishes: 14, 12, 17, 28, 10, 29, 18, 26, 2, 6. So, he's been a top-10 tight end three times, yet we always rank him as a top-10 option because, well, tight ends. Opponents have given their tight ends a 24.0 percent target share against the Bills, which is the second-highest mark in the league. That's obviously led to production, as tight ends make up 21.3 percent of the production by skill-position players against them, which is the fourth-highest mark. They've allowed a league-high 5.9 receptions and 64.2 yards per game to tight ends, which is massive for Henry, who's obviously been struggling with his yardage. There have been five tight ends who've seen five-plus targets against the Bills, and four of them were able to finish with 17.8 or more PPR points. Could this be the week where Henry enters beyond four-catch territory? It probably should be. Start him as a rock-solid TE1.
