I expect Hunter Henry to take a step back in the target pecking order in New England this season with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs on the depth chart. This opening matchup isn't kind to Henry.

Henry faces target share decline and tough matchup; sit Week 1 against Seattle.

Hunter Henry was TE12 in fantasy points per game last year with a career-high 768 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns (second-most in a season). However, Derek Brown expects Henry to take a step back in the target pecking order in New England this season with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs on the depth chart. Against Seattle's two-high coverage (sixth-highest rate last year), Henry posted only a 16% target-per-route-run rate and 1.08 yards per route run. Seattle allowed tight ends the 14th-fewest yards per target and ranked 15th in fantasy points per opportunity, making Henry an easy sit for Week 1.
