Our Take After Week 4

Through 3 games he's TE35 at 4.7 PPR points per game, against 10.5 over 17 games last season (TE9). He's running behind last season's pace.

Last season he ranked 6th of 81 in route participation (84.7%), 8th of 82 in target share (18.0%) and 14th of 82 in efficiency (1.65 yards per route run). His points come from his route participation. Drake Maye is his quarterback.

The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Eli Raridon next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.

The next favorable matchup is the Raiders in Week 5 (4th against TEs).

Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)

Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.

Henry's 2025 was his strongest New England campaign: a TE7 finish on 118.8 fantasy points, 60 grabs for 768 yards and 7 scores across all 17 games. The efficiency was real, with 0.433 EPA per play, a 63.2% success rate and 1.65 yards per route run, all season bests. The volume that fueled it stands out most: an 18% target share, 22 red-zone looks and 10 end-zone targets, the kind of scoring opportunity that drives touchdown totals.

That usage is the catch. His seven touchdowns came on a near-decade-high 8.8 yards per target, a spike that rarely repeats, and the depth chart got crowded. New arrivals at receiver thin the pecking order around Drake Maye, threatening the red-zone share that made him valuable. Drafted as a back-end TE1 near pick 149, he's a steady floor with realistic regression baked in. Projections of roughly 57-665-6 reflect a likely step back from his TE7 ceiling.

Hunter Henry Fantasy Outlook FAQ

What is Hunter Henry's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?

Hunter Henry projects as an every-down depth TE for deep leagues only for the rest of the 2026 season: a bench stash in TE-premium leagues and waiver-wire material in 12-team and 10-team leagues. His route participation (84.7% route participation, 6th of 81 TEs in 2025) supports that. See his live rank in Redraft Command.

What is Hunter Henry's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?

Hunter Henry is the TE35 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in depth TE territory, waiver-wire material in 12-team leagues.

What is Hunter Henry's projected role going forward?

Hunter Henry is the listed starting TE, with Eli Raridon next on the depth chart. Nothing on the chart threatens the job, so the role is his to lose on performance.

Will Hunter Henry get more targets?

Hunter Henry's targets are holding steady: 3.5 a game over his last two games against 3.3 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.

What is Hunter Henry's fantasy football upside?

Hunter Henry's upside: his ceiling this season is 7.0 PPR points (Week 2, TE22), his route participation (84.7% route participation, 6th of 81 TEs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on and the Raiders in Week 5 is a top-10 matchup for TEs.

What could hurt Hunter Henry's fantasy value?

Hunter Henry's risks: Eli Raridon is next on the depth chart if he is benched or hurt and the Bills in Week 4 and the Jets in Week 6 are tough matchups. See his injury status and history.

How difficult is Hunter Henry's remaining fantasy schedule?

About average: of his next seven games, 3 come against a top-10 matchup for TEs and 3 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.

If Henry Misses Time

Next man up: Eli Raridon

Eli Raridon is next on the Patriots depth chart at tight end. Tight end targets would mostly move to the receivers, so he's a streaming option at best if Henry misses time.

Who else it affects

His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Drake Maye would lose one of his main options.
