Last year, Hunter Henry was the TE12 in fantasy points per game while setting a new career high in receiving yards (768) and finishing with the second-most receiving touchdowns in a season in his career (seven). Among 54 qualifying tight ends, he was 15th in target share, 13th in receiving yards per game, 17th in yards per route run, and 14th in first-read share and first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Henry will take a step back in 2026 after the additions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason, so I wouldn't expect him to be a TE1 again. He's best viewed as a solid TE2.

With 60 catches for 768 yards and seven touchdowns last season, Hunter Henry finished TE7 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring and TE12 in fantasy points per game among TEs who played at least five games. That was a career high in yardage for Henry, and his 8.8 yards per target represented his best mark in that category since 2017. Henry seems to have good rapport with young Patriots QB Drake Maye, and the 31-year-old tight end hasn't shown signs of slowing down. But New England's potential addition of WR A.J. Brown could put at least a slight dent in Henry's target share.
