News

  • Next Gen Stats

    Of Hunter Henry’s 66 total targets this season, 77.3% of them have come on passes under 10 air yards, the 15th-highest among tight ends with at least 30 targets.

    Updated Wed, Nov 20 at 4:50pm
  • Six catches in Week 11 loss

    Henry caught six of nine targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Henry led the Patriots in targets and catches while finishing seven yards shy of receiver Kendrick Bourne's team-leading total. The veteran tight end has been the most reliable target for rookie Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, due in large part to New England's lack of talent at wide receiver. Henry has averaged 6.8 targets in the first six starts of Maye's career heading into a Week 12 trip to Miami.

  • Full practice Thursday

    Henry (foot) practiced fully Thursday.

    Analysis: Henry -- who was on the field for 57 of the Patriots' 64 snaps on offense in this past weekend's 19-3 win over the Bears -- was limited Wednesday, but his full participation a day later paves the way for the tight end to face the Rams on Sunday. Though he's coming off a one-catch, 14-yard effort versus Chicago, Henry is a Week 11 bounce-back candidate, given his steady playing time in New England's offense, which overall has resulted in a 40-428-1 line on 57 targets over the course of 10 games…read more

  • Limited by foot issue

    Henry was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a foot issue, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Henry is nursing an injury after he played 57 of the Patriots' 64 snaps on offense and finished with one catch for 14 yards on four targets in this past Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears. The Patriots' second Week 11 injury report will be released Thursday and will provide a better idea whether Henry is truly in any danger of missing this Sunday's game against the Rams.

  • One catch in Week 10

    Henry, who logged 57 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught one of his four targets in the contest for 14 yards.

    Analysis: With the Patriots relying heavily on two-TE sets Sunday, Henry's teammate Austin Hooper was on the field for a season-high 41 snaps en route to catching three of his four targets for 64 yards. Given that he continues to see steady snaps in New England's Drake Maye-helmed offense, Henry -- who racked up 20 catches over his previous three outings -- is a bounce-back candidate in Week 11 versus the Rams.

  • Seven catches in OT loss

    Henry recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Henry remained a favorite target of Drake Maye and has at least five receptions in each of Maye's three starts. Henry remained primarily a short-area option, though four of his catches went for at least 10 yards. While Henry won't match the explosiveness of elite fantasy tight ends, he has a key role in the New England offense and should remain a reliable contributor moving forward.

  • Five catches as Maye concussed

    Henry caught five of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Henry had a would-be 39-yard catch from Jacoby Brissett wiped out by a holding penalty in the third quarter, but he still finished just one receiving yard shy of Kayshon Boutte's team-leading total. All three of New England's touchdowns came on the ground, as the passing game took a back seat after Drake Maye's (concussion) first-half exit. Henry's ceiling will be lower in Week 9 against the Titans if Brissett starts at quarterback rather than Maye.

  • Maye's favorite target

    Henry recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Henry delivered splash plays on each of the Patriots' scoring drives, the first for 18 yards in the opening quarter and a 32-yard reception in the final frame. Even during less effective possessions, Drake Maye consistently looked Henry's way, allowing the tight end to tally his second eight-reception performance of the season. Henry should be in a good position to remain a significant part of New England's offense, and he could remain reasonably productive with the unit looking far more…read more

  • Scores in Maye's first start

    Henry caught three of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Henry was quiet for most of the game but came alive on a third-quarter drive after the Patriots fell behind 27-7, contributing a 30-yard catch and a six-yard touchdown grab. He finished second on the team in targets behind DeMario Douglas' nine. Drake Maye threw three touchdown passes in his first NFL start and has raised the ceiling of New England's entire passing game heading into the team's Week 7 trip to England to face the porous Jaguars defense.

  • Another two-catch game

    Henry logged 56 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: For the third straight game and fourth time in five contests overall, Henry caught exactly two passes, this time around on four targets for 32 yards. Henry's eight-catch effort in Week 2 stands out as an outlier, though the tight end's steady playing time does at least keep him involved in the Patriots passing attack on a weekly basis. If the team switches to Drake Maye at quarterback, Henry could see more looks as a security blanket for the rookie.

  • Makes two catches Sunday

    Henry brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: Henry finished with disappointing numbers for the third time in four starts this season. The veteran tight end saw one more target than backup Austin Hooper, but the latter was the recipient of Jacoby Brissett's lone passing touchdown in the loss. Henry showed us in Week 2 that he can be a fantasy factor, but that glow has faded heading into Sunday's tilt against the Dolphins.

  • Ready for Week 4 contest

    Henry (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: After logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Henry worked in full to close out the week, setting the stage for him to be available to face San Francisco on the road this weekend. Henry's been a hit-or-miss fantasy option out of the gate this season in the Patriots' Jacoby Brissett-helmed offense, with two-catch efforts in Weeks 1 and 3, and an 8-109-0 line on 12 targets in the team's Week 2 loss to the Seahawks. In that context, he profiles as a speculative lineup option for Week 4,…read more

  • Limited by ankle issue

    Henry was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After a big game in Week 2 (eight catches for 109 yards on 12 targets), Henry caught two of his three targets for nine yards in this past Thursday's loss to the Jets, while recording a 63 percent snap share in the contest. Now managing an ankle issue as the Patriots begin Week 4 prep, the tight end will need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

  • Two catches versus Jets

    Henry was on the field for 33 of the Patriots' 52 snaps on offense in Thursday's 24-3 loss to the Jets en route to catching two of his three targets for nine yards in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After racking up eight catches on a team-high 12 targets for 109 yards in this past Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks, Henry's volume dipped Thursday night in a game in which New England's offense stalled. Meanwhile, WR DeMario Douglas led the team with nine targets. Looking ahead, Henry figures to have outings where he'll make more of an impact, but the team's inconsistent passing attack makes him a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

  • Tops 100 yards

    Henry recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 109 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Henry was the clear favorite target for Jacoby Brissett, as no other player was targeted more than five times nor surpassed 12 yards. He worked primarily in the short areas of the field but did rack up yards after the catch to tally long gains of 35 and 17 yards. The Patriots have played conservatively on offense through two games, so it may be difficult for Henry to replicate this performance regularly.

  • Two catches in season-opening win

    Henry brought in two of three targets for 18 yards in the Patriots' 16-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Analysis: Henry had a quiet afternoon but certainly wasn't alone among his pass-catching teammates, as the Patriots leveraged dominant performances by Rhamondre Stevenson and their defense for a season-opening upset victory. The veteran tight end should continue to enjoy a steady role throughout the season while working with either veteran Jacoby Brissett or rookie Drake Maye, as both should value his reliability when dropping back. However, how much passing volume there will be week to week remains an…read more

  • Logs full practice

    Henry was a full participant in practice Wednesday after contending with a foot injury during the preseason.

    Analysis: Henry's injury was previously undisclosed, but the tight end's full participation Wednesday sets the stage for him to be available for Sunday's season opener against the Bengals. While the Patriots seem likely to take a run-heavy approach on offense, Henry could still end up seeing enough targets from starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett to merit consideration in fantasy lineups. Henry logged six touchdowns in 14 games in 2023, and should once again serve as a useful option for the team in…read more

    Coach Jerod Mayo expects Henry (undisclosed) and the Patriots' other injured tight ends to be "ready to go relatively early in the season," Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Henry was held out of Thursday's preseason loss to the Eagles, while fellow tight ends Austin Hooper (undisclosed) and Mitchell Wilcox (calf) both played but now are dealing with injuries. Previous reports suggested Henry's issue isn't serious, but it isn't clear when he's expected to rejoin practice.

  • Not playing Thursday

    Henry (undisclosed) isn't in uniform ahead of Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Lazar, Henry has been dealing with an injury of late that isn't expected to sideline him for long, but the Patriots will play it safe with the tight end in their second exhibition tilt. In any case, Henry's standing as the team's top option at his position remains secure.

  • Dealing with minor injury

    Henry will miss practice Tuesday with an unspecified injury that isn't expected to be serious, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: The issue reportedly came up in Sunday's practice, with Henry then sitting out Monday and now set to miss at least one more session. He was rested for the preseason opener and now seems unlikely to play in Thursday's exhibition against the Eagles, but it doesn't sound like the Patriots are too worried about the tight end's availability for Week 1.

  • Doesn't play Thursday

    Henry didn't play in Thursday's preseason opener versus the Panthers, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Per Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Henry suited up Thursday but did not play, so it's possible that the tight end could be managing a minor injury. In any case, while there's plenty of snaps up for grabs in the Patriots' crowded WR corps, Henry's standing as the team's top TE appears secure ahead of Week 1.

  • Re-signing for three more years

    Henry (knee) has agreed to a three-year deal to remain with the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Prior to missing the final three contests of the 2023 regular season due to a left knee injury, Henry caught 42 passes (on 61 targets) for 419 yards to go along with a team-high six TD receptions in 14 games. With the 2016 second-rounder set to stay put, the Patriots will enjoy valuable stability at the tight end position in the initial stage of Jerod Mayo's stint as New England's head coach.

  • Re-signing with Pats

    Henry (knee) is finalizing a deal to stay with the Patriots, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Henry completed a three-year, $37.5 million contract with New England and would've been eligible for free agency next week. He'll instead stick around under a new coaching staff, after averaging 44.3 catches for 510.3 yards and 5.7 TDs on 65.0 targets in his previous three years with the Patriots. The 29-year-old tight end figures to keep his starting job but doesn't figure to have much fantasy appeal in an offense that's expected to either have a rookie or journeyman veteran under center to…read more

With the three-year, $37.5 million contract that the 29-year-old signed with the team back in March of 2021 now having been completed, Henry is eligible to become a an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

  • Goes over to IR

    Henry (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Henry was at times a touchdown hog for the Patriots this season, scoring six times in 14 games despite being saddled in a moribund offense at times. The team isn't necessarily in a bad spot cap-wise, but it'd be hard to argue that Henry has lived up to the three-year, $37.5 million contract signed back in 2021, and he could be an offseason departure if a new regime does ultimately take over in Foxborough.

    Analysis: With Henry slated to miss a third straight game, Mike Gesicki and Pharaoh Brown (ribs) -- if available -- are in line to lead the Patriots' tight end corps in Week 18. Henry, who is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, thus finishes his third campaign in New England with 42 catches for 419 yards and six touchdowns on 61 targets through 14 contests.

    Analysis: Henry, who has missed two straight games, also was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, so he likely will need to work fully Friday in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets. If, however, Henry remains sidelined this weekend, Mike Gesicki and Pharaoh Brown would continue to lead New England's TE corps in Week 18.

    Analysis: Henry, who was also inactive in Week 16, was limited in all three of New England's practices this week before approaching the contest listed as questionable. In his continued absence Sunday, Mike Gesicki and Pharaoh Brown (who both caught two passes in last weekend's win over the Broncos) are slated to lead the Patriots' tight end corps in Week 17.

    Analysis: Henry was a limited participant in all three of New England's practices during the week after sitting out the team's Week 16 win over the Broncos. If Henry's able to limit his absence to one game, he'll likely reclaim his spot atop the tight end depth chart while pushing both Mike Gesicki and Pharaoh Brown down a peg.

    Analysis: Henry, who was inactive for the Patriots' 26-23 win over the Broncos in Week 16, was also limited Wednesday, which suggests that the tight end could be trending toward a return to the lineup Sunday against the Bills. However, unless he practices fully Friday, Henry will likely carry an injury designation into the contest.

    Analysis: Henry closed out Week 16 prep with a limited practice, but after initially being listed as questionable, the tight end was subsequently downgraded to out Saturday, one day before the Patriots' 26-23 win over the Broncos. With another limited session in the books, Henry has a chance to suit up this Sunday against the Bills, but unless he practices fully by the end of the week, he'll presumably carry an injury designation into gameday.

    Henry (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday night's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: After sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday, Henry logged a limited session Friday before being deemed questionable by the Patriots.

Henry's return to practice was at least enough for the Patriots to leave the door open for the tight end to play Sunday, but clarity on his status one way or the other won't officially arrive until New England posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

    Analysis: Per Cox, Henry -- who didn't practice Wednesday -- was present for Thursday's session, but the tight end didn't end up taking a tangible step forward in terms of activity. Henry now has one more chance to get in some practice work before Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Henry (knee) wasn't on the field for Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: Henry sustained a knee injury in this past Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chiefs, leaving the game after compiling 66 yards and a touchdown on seven catches. The tight end has scored in both of his last two games, so the Patriots would be without a key offensive player if he's unable to play Sunday against the Broncos. Henry could still bolster his chances of playing this weekend by returning to practice Thursday or Friday.

  • Hurts knee Sunday

    Henry was forced out of Sunday's game against the Chiefs with a knee injury.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Henry had caught seven of his nine targets for a team-high 66 yards and a TD. Next up for the Patriots' Week 15 tight end snaps in his absence are Mike Gesicki and Pharaoh Brown.

  • Records pair of TDs in win

    Henry brought in all three targets for 40 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots' 21-18 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Henry's breakout night, like the performance of the Patriots' typically lackluster offense as a whole, was considerably unexpected. The veteran tight end recorded eight- and 24-yard scoring grabs in the second quarter, the second an especially impressive reception among multiple defenders. Henry had only crossed the goal line once since Week 2 prior to Thursday, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to replicate his numbers against a stingy Chiefs defense in a Week 15 home tilt on Sunday,…read more

  • Another dud despite new QB

    Henry caught two of four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: A change in starting quarterback from Mac Jones to Bailey Zappe didn't lead to an increase in production from either Henry or New England's offense as a whole. After topping 50 yards three times through Week 4, Henry hasn't reached 40 yards in a game since. The struggling tight end will try to get more involved Thursday against the Steelers.

  • No targets versus Giants

    Henry wasn't targeted while playing 46 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Over his two previous games, Henry recorded a combined seven catches on 11 targets, but none of the Patriots tight ends caught a pass Sunday in a contest marked by the struggles of quarterbacks Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe. Henry will look to rebound Week 13 against the Chargers, but given the current state of New England's offense, he looks like a touchdown-dependent fantasy option.

  • Three grabs in Week 10

    Henry caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: The Patriots' passing attack struggled badly once again, with Mac Jones getting benched in favor of Bailey Zappe for the final possession, but Henry still tied Rhamondre Stevenson for second on the team in targets behind Demario Douglas' nine. The veteran tight end has yet to reach 60 receiving yards in a game this season but has caught multiple passes in eight of 10 contests, and Henry's been reliant on TDs for any fantasy upside heading into New England's Week 11 bye.

  • Scores first TD since Week 2

    Henry caught four of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: In the team's first game since leading receiver Kendrick Bourne suffered a season-ending ACL tear, Henry notched his highest yardage total since Week 4 and scored his first touchdown since Week 2. The touchdown came from 14 yards out in the second quarter. Henry tied wide receivers Demario Douglas and JuJu Smith-Schuster for the team lead in targets, and the veteran tight end should remain a key part of the Patriots' passing game in Week 10 against the Colts in Frankfurt.

  • Three grabs in Week 8 loss

    Henry brought in all three targets for 28 yards in the Patriots' 31-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end tied Kendrick Bourne (knee) for second on the Patriots in receptions while finishing third in receiving yards. Henry has, in relative terms, bounced back from a particularly rough two-game stretch in Weeks 5 and 6 during which he posted just one catch for seven yards on five targets, now having recorded a 5-55 line on six targets in the ensuing pair of contests. Nevertheless, as with the rest of the Patriots' pass catchers, his output is seemingly capped by Mac Jones'…read more

  • Good to go for Week 8

    Henry (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Analysis: Henry was removed from the injury report Friday and will look to shake his recent slump Sunday in Miami. After notching at least five targets in each of New England's first four games and topping 50 yards three times over that span, Henry has just eight targets and 34 receiving yards in the last three games combined. In the Patriots' previous matchup with Miami in Week 2, Henry caught six of seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown.

    Henry (ankle) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Henry was also limited Wednesday, so unless he practices fully Friday, the tight end will likely approach Sunday's game against the Dolphins with an injury designation. If he's active this weekend, Henry would continue to work in a timeshare at tight end with Mike Gesicki and Pharaoh Brown. Through seven appearances on the season, Henry has hauled in 20 of his 31 targets for 210 yards and two touchdowns.

He ended up suiting up Sunday in the Patriots' 29-25 win over the Bills, playing half of the snaps on offense while catching two of his three targets for 27 yards.

    Henry, who was on the field for 30 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-25 win over the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught two of his three targets in the contest for 27 yards.

    Analysis: Henry had his ankle rolled up on during Week 6 action and headed into the game listed as questionable, but he ended up in uniform Sunday and shared TE work with Mike Gesicki (30 snaps, two catches) and Pharaoh Brown (23 snaps, two catches). With just three catches for 34 yards over his last three outings, Henry profiles as a TD-dependent fantasy dart ahead of this coming weekend's game against the Dolphins.

After a hot start to the season, Henry has recorded just one catch for seven yards on five targets over the last two weeks.

If, however, Henry is limited or out versus Buffalo, fellow TE Mike Gesicki would see increased work Week 7, while Pharaoh Brown also would be a candidate for added snaps.

    Analysis: Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Henry was spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's session, but the tight end ended up being deemed a 'DNP' for the second straight day. What Henry is able to do Friday will be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Bills.

    Analysis: Henry didn't practice Wednesday, so the tight end's return to the field Thursday bodes well for his chances of being available for Sunday's game against the Bills. Chances are that Henry will be deemed a limited participant, and if so he likely will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 7 injury designation.

    Analysis: Henry suffered the ankle injury in this past Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Raiders. He managed to return to the game but finished with just one catch, giving him one reception over the past two games combined after the veteran tight end opened the season with 17 catches through four games. If Henry is sidelined this Sunday against the Bills, Mike Gesicki would step in as the Patriots' No. 1 tight end.

    Henry, who was on the field for 37 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Raiders, caught one of his three targets in the contest for seven yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Henry left the game briefly after suffering an ankle injury, but he was able to return. With that in mind, the tight end is a candidate to appear on the Patriots' Week 7 injury report. Over his last two games, Henry (who scored TDs in each of his first two outings this season) has combined for one catch on five targets, and until he starts seeing more consistent looks in the team's passing game once again, he'll remain a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

    Analysis: Henry logged 42 of a possible 54 snaps in the contest, while fellow TE Mike Gesicki was out there for 16 snaps and caught two of his four targets for 17 yards. Until the Patriots offense (which has scored just three points over the last two weeks) picks up the pace, Henry looks like a hit-or-miss fantasy option as the team's Week 6 contest against the Raiders approaches.

He also accounted for three of the Patriots' longest gains of the day, which went for 21, 14 and 12 yards.

After finding the end zone in each of New England's first two games, Henry saw fellow tight end Pharaoh Brown score the team's only touchdown in this game.

    Henry caught six of seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Henry has now topped 50 receiving yards with a touchdown in each of his first two games this season. The 28-year-old tallied only two scores over 17 games last year, but he's in position to be a relevant option in fantasy leagues after matching that total through two games in 2023.

    Henry recorded five receptions on six targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Henry benefitted from a game script that required New England to take to the air, in combination with the absence of both Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) and DeVante Paker (knee). Each of those factors inflated Henry's line to some degree, though he still out-targeted Mike Gesicki. Most importantly, Henry saw opportunity in the red zone and took advantage with a nine-yard touchdown catch late in the second quarter. He should keep a consistent role in the New England offense, but his fantasy…read more

  • Cleared for Week 1

    Henry didn't appear on the Patriots' Week 1 injury report released Wednesday.

    Analysis: The Patriots should have both of their top two tight ends available for Sunday's season opener versus the Eagles, as Mike Gesicki had previously been managing a shoulder injury but is also off the Week 1 injury report. Though the Patriots could implement something of a timeshare betwen Henry and Gesicki, the two may frequently be deployed together in two-tight end sets. The arrangement could allow both players to yield some degree of fantasy utility in 2023.

    Analysis: Henry will make just one appearance during exhibition season last Saturday in Green Bay, where he didn't haul in his only target while playing 16 snaps on offense. Fellow tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) also won't suit up Friday, meaning the Patriots will go with Anthony Firkser, Matt Sokol, Scotty Washington and Johnny Lumpkin at tight end. Henry's next chance to play is a Week 1 matchup with the Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 10.

    Henry and free-agent addition Mike Gesicki are in line to head the Patriots' tight end corps this coming season, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Since signing a three-year deal with New England in March 2021, Henry had been working in a timeshare with Jonnu Smith. With Smith having recently been traded to the Falcons, however, the Patriots elected to bolster their tight end corps by inking Gesicki to a one-year pact worth up to $9 million. In that context, Henry will continue to share snaps and targets in 2023, and, given Gesicki's upside as a pass catcher, Henry's week-to-week volume figures to fluctuate this season when both players…read more

  • Finishes season with 41 catches

    Henry finished the 2022 season with 41 catches on 59 targets for 509 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games.

    Analysis: For the second consecutive season, Henry -- who missed his share of time during his five-year stint with the Chargers -- managed to play all of his team's games. From a volume standpoint, the 2016 second-rounder's production took a modest dip from the 50 catches for 603 yards on 75 targets he logged in 2021, but it was Henry's drop from nine to two TDs that resulted in his overall fantasy utility taking a big hit.

    Henry (knee) secured five of six targets for 52 yards in the Patriots' 23-21 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: With position mate Jonnu Smith (concussion) sidelined, Henry saw an uptick in volume and made good use of it. The veteran tight end's reception and receiving yardage totals were both second on the team for the afternoon, and his catch tally was a season high as well. Henry could be in for another expanded role in a critical Week 18 road matchup against the Bills, especially if Smith remains out of action.

    Analysis: With fellow tight end Jonnu Smith (concussion) inactive Sunday, Henry has an opportunity to log added snaps and targets versus Miami. In that context, the 2016 second-rounder -- who has put up a 30/415/2 stat line in 15 games thus far -- is in a position to see enough volume to merit fantasy lineup consideration in Week 17.

    Analysis: Henry was knocked out of Saturday's loss to Cincinnati due to a knee injury and, per Rapoport, is still sore, but the issue doesn't appear to be all that serious. Jonnu Smith (head) also suffered an injury Week 16, so New England's tight end room could be seriously depleted for a divisional matchup against Miami on Sunday.

    Analysis: After catching all three of his targets for 70 yards in the Patriots' win over the Cardinals last Monday, Henry's production dipped in a game in which QB Mac Jones threw for just 112 yards. While working in a continued TE timeshare with Jonnu Smith, Henry profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option in advance of New England's final three regular-season contests.

The veteran tight end's yardage total was also a season high, and he's now recorded at least 50 receiving yards in three of the last five games.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow tight end Jonnu Smith logged 17 snaps while catching both of his targets for six yards. Through 12 games, Henry has recorded 25 catches on 39 targets for 336 yards, but has only scored two TDs to date after finding the end zone a career high nine times in 17 contests last season. As long as he operates in a time-share with Smith, the 2016 second-rounder will remain a hit-or-miss fantasy option down the stretch.

    Henry recorded three catches on five targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 33-26 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Henry posted a season-best yardage total and was targeted at least five times in a game for only the third time in 2022. The highlight of his performance came on a 37-yard touchdown catch, during which Henry got open down the middle of the field before weaving his way through several defenders into the end zone. He looked to be on the cusp of another touchdown one possession later, but he had a receiving score overturned after officials determined Henry didn't complete a catch.

    Analysis: Though Henry out-snapped Jonnu Smith (34 snaps) in the contest, it was Smith (four catches for 40 yards) who was more involved in the team's passing game Week 11. As Thursday night's game against the Vikings approaches, both of New England's tight ends profile as hit-or-miss fantasy options due to their ongoing timeshare.

  • Records four catches

    Henry recorded four receptions on four targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: The Patriots seemed to prioritize getting their tight ends involved in Sunday's win against the Colts, as Henry and Jonnu Smith combined to see eight targets. Henry did the majority of his damage on a 30-yard catch early in the fourth quarter -- New England's longest play from scrimmage -- to help set up a field goal on the same drive. Overall, he now has three games with at least four catches and 50 yards on the campaign.

  • One catch in Week 8

    Henry caught his only target for 22 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Henry logged 50 of a possible 78 snaps on offense in the contest -- as did fellow tight end Jonnu Smith -- but for the second straight game he was held to just one catch. With unsteady target volume so far this season, Henry profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option this coming Sunday against the Colts.

  • One catch in Week 7

    Henry, who played 44 of a possible 52 snaps on offense in Monday's loss to the Bears, caught one of two targets for 12 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow tight end Jonnu Smith logged 17 snaps while catching one of his three targets for four yards. Henry's quiet effort arrives on the heels of back-to-back four-catch outings, but with 14 receptions on 23 targets for 168 yards and one TD in seven games overall, the 27-year-old -- who scored nine TDs in 17 outings in 2021 -- provides only modest upside ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

  • Another productive showing Sunday

    Henry brought in four of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 38-15 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end followed up what had been a season-best 4-54 tally in Week 5 against the Lions with a new high-water mark in receiving yardage and his first touchdown catch of the campaign to boot. Henry got loose on a nifty 31-yard play for his score with just under six minutes to go in the third quarter, and considering he logged a career-high nine touchdowns last season, there could be more end-zone trips coming whether he works with Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones (ankle) in the Week 7…read more

  • Reemerges in Week 5 win

    Henry brought in four of five targets for 54 yards in the Patriots' 29-0 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Henry produced season-high numbers across the board while working with rookie Bailey Zappe, who leaned on him a good amount as a security blanket. Henry has a pair of one-target games this season, but with nine looks over the last two games, his fortunes may be turning in that regard. However, Jonnu Smith's absence Sunday due to an ankle injury helped boost Henry's workload.

  • Catches two passes Sunday

    Henry was on the field for 49 of a possible 58 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Packers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Even with fellow tight end Jonnu Smith limited to 17 snaps due to an ankle injury, Henry caught just two of his four targets for 13 yards in the contest. If Smith is forced to miss time, Henry could see an uptick in targets during that span, but so far this season, Patriots tight ends haven't been great sources of fantasy production. Given the team's injuries at the QB position, Henry profiles as a hit-or-miss lineup option ahead of this coming Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow tight end Jonnu Smith, who was on the field for 32 snaps in the contest, caught all four of his targets for 25 yards. Back-to-back one-target outings don't inspire confidence with regard to Henry's Week 4 fantasy prospects, and with quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) now on the mend, Henry's upside in the coming weeks could hinge on building a rapport with veteran-signal caller Brian Hoyer.

    Analysis: For his part, fellow tight end Jonnu Smith was out there for 39 snaps Sunday, en route to recording three targets and zero catches. Looking ahead to Week 3, Henry -- who put up a 50-603-9 stat line in 2021-- profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option in advance of this coming Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow tight end Jonnu Smith was out there for 39 snaps, catching three of his four targets for 33 yards. With the Patriots not rostering a fullback, the team figures to feature plenty of two-tight end sets this coming season. In that context, both Henry and Smith should see steady playing time, but as long as there's a timeshare in play, Henry -- who recorded a 50-603-9 stat line in 2021 -- looks like a TD-dependent fantasy option.

  • Two catches in preseason loss

    Henry secured both targets for 23 yards in the Patriots' 23-6 preseason loss to the Raiders on Friday night.

    Analysis: Henry logged his first target on the Patriots' third drive and finished with a productive showing relative to playing time. The veteran tight end was a success in his first campaign in New England in 2021, recording a career-high nine touchdowns alongside a 50-603 line while playing all 17 games. Henry should be in for volume similar to last season's 75 targets, at minimum, and he could well be a primary beneficiary of Mac Jones' expected leap forward in his second season.

    Analysis: Henry -- who finished the 2021 campaign with 50 catches (on 75 targets) for 603 yards and a career-high nine TDs in 17 games -- once again is in line to work in tandem with fellow tight end Jonnu Smith this coming season. While that's something that can cap Henry's target volume when both are available, the 2016 second-rounder's nose for the end zone should allow him to retain fantasy utility in most formats, so long as he can avoid missing time with injuries.

    Analysis: For the first time in his career, the 2016 second-round pick played a full slate of games. Henry, who is signed through 2023, joined the Patriots as a splashy free-agent signing last March along with fellow tight end Jonnu Smith.

    Henry caught five of six targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 33-24 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: The tight end led the Patriots in catches and receiving yards, but it was the team's backfield that accounted for all three of its TDs. Henry finishes the regular season with 55 catches on 81 targets for a career-high 689 yards and nine touchdowns, and he figures to be Mac Jones' most reliable option in Saturday's wild-card round clash with the Bills.

    Analysis: Fellow tight end Jonnu Smith out-snapped (42) Henry in the contest, but he was only targeted once (for a 20-yard gain). Henry's volume and yardage totals have been sporadic of late, but he remains on the fantasy radar due to his TD potential. Through 16 games to date, he's logged a 45/517/9 stat line on 69 targets.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow tight end Jonnu Smith logged 21 snaps and wasn't targeted in the contest. Henry's Week 16 fantasy dud follows an effort last weekend in which he caught six of eight targets for a season-high 77 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the Colts.

The tight end has a career-high nine touchdowns on the season through 14 games, and he'll look to reach double digits in a Week 16 rematch with the Bills.

    Henry was not targeted in Monday night's 14-10 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Henry's first game without a target as a Patriot came on a most unusual night, with the team throwing merely three times due to extremely windy conditions. Although fellow tight end Jonnu Smith was fortunate enough to haul in one of those attempts for a 12-yard gain, Henry was restricted to work as a blocker. While New England's game plan was sufficient to get the win Monday, Henry may look forward to a more conventional scheme once the team returns from its bye to face the Colts in Week 15.

Henry's knack for the end zone has helped keep his fantasy value robust despite his usually modest reception and yardage totals -- his 6-75-1 line back in Week 5 counts as his best performance of the season -- but in games where he's been held without a touchdown, he's been subject to some pedestrian stat lines.

The veteran tight end doesn't provide gaudy yardage totals (35.1 yards per game), but his nose for the end zone gives him fringe TE1 value. Fellow tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) left Sunday's game with an injury and did not return, so Henry could be in line for a couple extra looks against the Browns in Week 10 if the former is unable to suit up.

The two targets were a season low for the former Charger, but he's caught multiple passes in every game this year, and he's establishing himself as Jones' favorite red-zone option heading into a Week 7 clash with the Jets.

He managed long receptions of 21 and 16 yards and also found the end zone on a catch from 13 yards away. Despite the encouraging results, Sunday's effort marked the first time that Henry topped 50 yards on the campaign. Henry is likely to continue to see limited volume as the Patriots spread targets to a variety of pass-catchers, including Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor, Jonnu Smith and Kendrick Bourne.

Fellow tight end Jonnu Smith logged three catches for 14 yards and a score in Mac Jones' first multi-touchdown game this year. Henry remains the more appealing option based on playing time, but both tight ends eat into each other's production and put a low ceiling on their respective fantasy values.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow tight end Jonnu Smith was on the field for 29 snaps and hauled in four of his five targets for 28 yards. In Week 1, Henry (54 snaps) and Smith (55 snaps) saw virtually identical workloads, but it's possible that Smith's decrease in action versus the Jets was related to the hip issue that had him listed as questionable for the contest.

    Analysis: A report last Monday suggested Henry would miss multiple weeks, but he was spotted at Sunday's practice and apparently now has a chance to participate in joint sessions with the Eagles. Meanwhile, fellow Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith figures to miss at least a day or two after spraining his ankle Sunday.

  • Back at practice

    Henry (shoulder) was spotted at practice Sunday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It remains to be seen if Henry will be considered a full participant, but his presence on the field gives him a chance to return to game action as soon Thursday against the Eagles. This coming season, Henry and fellow free-agent newcomer Jonnu Smith are in line to work in tandem as a one-two punch in a New England attack that figures to use plenty of multi-TE formations.

  • Could miss preseason

    The MRI that Henry underwent Monday on his shoulder revealed no serious injury, but the Patriots expect him to be sidelined for "a couple of weeks," Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: New England remains optimistic that Henry will gain full clearance in advance of its Week 1 matchup Sept. 12 versus the Dolphins, but the shoulder injury Hunter suffered Sunday looks like it will cost him some opportunities to build chemistry with quarterbacks Cam Newton and Mac Jones in practices and during the preseason. For what it's worth, head coach Bill Belichick labeled Henry as "day-to-day" when he met with the media Tuesday, but expect the Patriots to proceed cautiously nonetheless…read more

  • Scheduled for MRI

    Henry's shoulder injury is painful, but the Patriots are optimistic an MRI won't reveal anything serious, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The report adds that Henry could miss some time this preseason even if the MRI brings good news. He was removed from Sunday's practice with an apparent shoulder injury and now seems highly unlikely to suit up for Thursday's exhibition opener against Washington.

    Analysis: Cox notes that the tight end was checked out by head trainer Jim Whalen afterward. For now, consider Henry day-to-day in advance of Thursday's preseason opener against Washington. When healthy, Henry and Jonnu Smith are set to serve as a talented one-two punch in an offense that could use plenty of multi-TE formations this coming season.

    Henry turned in a good performance during the Patriots' three-day minicamp, which concluded Wednesday, Mike Dussault of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, Henry, who joined the Patriots as a free agent in March, was "catching everything thrown his way" throughout the team's recent mandatory minicamp. Meanwhile, fellow newcomer Jonnu Smith appeared to tweak a hamstring and was "mostly a spectator," but both players should be available the next time the Patriots practice. By signing each of the duo to lucrative contracts, the team seems destined to employ plenty of multi-TE formations this coming season, a context that should allow…read more

    Henry departed Thursday's OTA with an apparent left ankle or foot injury and had to get it retaped by the trainer, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports. He didn't return to the session.

    Analysis: Given that Henry didn't leave the field for testing, it seems likely the issue is relatively minor in nature. Barring word to the contrary, Henry's next opportunity to retake the field arrives Friday in the team's last OTA before the start of mandatory minicamp next week.

  • Headed to New England

    Henry is signing a three-year, $37.5 million contract with the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Patriots add another big name to their long list of free-agent acquisitions, a group that also includes fellow TE Jonnu Smith and WRs Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor. The addition of Henry points to frequent use of multi-TE formations, which could be part of a run-first offense if Cam Newton is still the starting QB. This isn't the best landing spot in terms of Henry's 2021 fantasy value, but partnering with Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels could nonetheless prove wise long-term.

In all, he wraps up the 2020 season with a career-high 60 catches (93 targets) for 613 yards and four touchdowns across 14 appearances. The 26-year-old tight end played on the non-exclusive franchise tag in 2020, which sets him up to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

If Henry doesn't return to the active roster in time for Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, Donald Parham is slated to start at tight end for L.A.

    Henry brought in five of seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 30-27 overtime win over the Raiders on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The athletic tight end locked in a solid fantasy night early courtesy of a 10-yard touchdown grab in the latter portion of the first quarter that opened the scoring for both teams. Henry went on to post his second-highest yardage total since Week 2, and he's now just 40 yards away from exceeding the career-high 652 he recorded last season over 12 games. The fourth-year pro will look to accomplish the feat in a Week 16 divisional contest against the Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 27.

    Henry corralled six of his eight targets for 41 yards in the 20-17 win Sunday over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Henry briefly appeared to injure his shoulder in the second half, but the tight end returned almost immediately thereafter. Sunday marked the sixth time over the last eight games Henry has seen at least six targets, but he hasn't been much of a difference maker considering his paltry average depth of target. Provided he stays healthy for the rest of the season, it's almost guaranteed the 26-year-old will set a career high in terms of receiving yards, but it's hardly the type of breakout season…read more

    Analysis: Henry's output was his worst of the season across the board as he was hardly involved despite the fact that his team played from behind for much of the day. This dud came as even more of a surprise considering he had two touchdowns and an average of 48.3 yards per game over his last three. Henry has been a reliable target for most of the season and will look to get back on track next Sunday against a Falcons defense that has been susceptible to opposing tight ends this season.

Although the big-bodied tight end failed to score a touchdown for the first time in three games, he did tie a season high in receptions and also saw a season high in targets with the Chargers facing an early double-digit deficit.

He made a two-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter to help his team stretch the lead, giving him scores in back-to-back games after going without one the previous three outings. Henry should have plenty of chances to continue thriving in next Sunday's road matchup with the Bills.

That might be one of the few times fantasy managers have been thankful for the increased mobility of Herbert, as Sunday marked just the second time since Week 2 that the tight end saw a target within the five-yard line. At this point, it's clear the Chargers would rather rely on Herbert's legs (three…read more

    Henry caught four of his seven targets for 33 yards in the 31-26 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: While the oddity of having back-to-back weeks with exactly four receptions and 33 yards receiving might be humorous, it's a less-than-ideal outcome for fantasy managers given what was supposedly a plus matchup. Henry continues to see plenty of targets (53), but an average depth of target of 6.9 yards indicates the almost absurd levels the Chargers take to make sure the tight end provides relief short across the middle of the field.

    Analysis: Henry converted every one of his targets and also saw a season-high 84 snaps. While Henry has only scored one touchdown this season, he is on pace to set career highs in receptions and receiving yards, although that's a byproduct of the tight end's lack of durability through five seasons. His four red-zone targets halfway through the campaign is a bit concerning, especially after the loss of Austin Ekeler (hamstring).

    Henry caught six of eight targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: First-round pick Justin Herbert got a surprise start under center in place of Tyrod Taylor (chest) and relied heavily on his tight end in his NFL debut, with only Keenan Allen seeing more targets from the rookie than Henry did. The fifth-year player could see steady volume again in Week 3, but he could struggle to make an impact against a Panthers defense that held Darren Waller in check in its opener and which has been far more vulnerable on the ground than through the air so far.

Henry easily set career highs in just about every major statistical category save for touchdown receptions, but a five-week stretch to end the season in which he posted just 16 catches, 165 receiving yards and two touchdowns puts a damper on what should have been a breakout year for the fourth-year tight end.

    Henry caught five of his seven targets for 45 yards in the 24-17 loss Sunday to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Henry saw his highest target volume since Week 11, but it failed to translate into meaningful fantasy production. Despite playing in just 11 games, the fourth-year tight end has set a career high in receiving yards thanks to Sunday's performance, but given the stretch from Week 6 to 11 in which he posted a 35-427-3 line, it's hardly a victory lap for fantasy owners who battled with Henry's inconsistencies for much of the season.

In a six-game stretch following his return from a tibia plateau fracture, Henry was arguably one of the most dynamic tight ends in the league, recording 35 receptions, 427 receiving yards and three touchdowns thanks to 49 targets --- second most on the team over that stretch behind usual stalwart Keenan Allen. In the team's three games following a Week 12 bye, though, Henry was been shockingly absent from…read more

  • Hits paydirt against Jags

    Henry caught two of four targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-10 rout of the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The tight end has seen his target volume drop lately, getting only seven targets over the last two games, but Henry was able to salvage his day with his fourth TD of the season. Despite that, he's only 44 receiving yards short of topping his career high of 579 set in 2017 -- a mark he'll look to reach in Week 15 when the Chargers host the Vikings.

  • Posts complete dud

    Henry was shut down in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Broncos, recording just two receptions for 10 yards.

    Analysis: Mike Williams, Austin Ekeler and Keenan Allen accounted for nearly 90 percent of the team's total receiving yards, saddling Henry with easily his worst game of 2019. The dismal outing has to be disappointing for fantasy owners, but Henry has had just four games with 20 or less receiving yards since Week 4 of the 2017 season, so it's fair to assume the star tight end could be poised for a turnaround.

  • Another nice showing

    Henry caught six of nine targets for 69 yards in Monday night's 24-17 loss to the Chiefs. He also hauled in a successful two-point conversion.

    Analysis: Henry was again regularly utilized by quarterback Philip Rivers, placing third on the Chargers in both receptions and targets on the evening. His two-point grab also offered a little bonus to another solid fantasy showing. Through seven appearances this season, Henry is averaging 70 receiving yards per game, making him one of the more reliable tight ends across the league.

  • Gets into end zone during loss

    Henry secured four of seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 26-24 loss to the Raiders on Thursday.

    Analysis: The highlight of Henry's night came on a two-yard touchdown reception with 8:24 remaining in the second quarter. Otherwise, the third-year tight end was kept quiet, and he was unable to come up with his only target on the Chargers' last-gasp drive in the fourth quarter. Henry had been trending upward in recent games, posting at least 84 receiving yards in three of the four contests prior to Thursday. However, his yardage tally against the Raiders qualified as a season low, so he'll look to…read more

  • Records 10 targets

    Henry caught seven of his 10 targets for 84 yards in the 26-11 win Sunday over the Packers.

    Analysis: Henry shredded a Packers defense that had no answers for the continuous combinations of slants and crossing routes Los Angeles threw at them, routinely taking advantage of a slow linebacker corps to run for additional yards after the catch. Much like Antonio Gates in the past, Henry is quickly developing into Rivers' favorite target in the middle of the field, often operating opposite Keenan Allen on crossing patterns to take advantage of both players' expert route-running abilities. Despite…read more
