Hunter Henry

Henry was brought in on a big contract during free agency, but that doesn't exactly mean that he's going to be force fed targets in this offense. Henry fills a critical role for this team as the second TE, but Smith is clearly who the Patriots envision being their number one target at the position. With that in mind, in this low-passing volume offense, it's highly unlikely that we see Henry finish within the top-12 TEs when it's all said and done. He'll certainly be in the streaming conversation here or there, but we need to temper our expectations with the veteran TE.

Hunter Henry appears to suffer injury during 7-on-7 drill

Patriots tight end and offseason acquisition Hunter Henry suffered an apparent lower body injury during OTAs Thursday. While participating in a 7-on-7 drill, Henry reportedly fell and favored the area of his left foot/ankle. The former Charger had it re-taped but did not return to practice.

Fantasy Impact

The initial description of the ailment doesn't sound too worrisome, but given Henry's lengthy injury history, this should be monitored closely. The 26-year-old signed a three-year, $37.5 million deal with New England this offseason after five years in Los Angeles. While working in offenses led by Philip Rivers and Justin Herbert, he appeared in 55 games, catching 196 passes for 2,322 yards and 21 touchdowns. He missed all of 2018 and has yet to play in all 16 games during an individual season.
