Footballguys on Hunter Henry
From the article
Despite that production, his early 2026 ADP -- he's being drafted as TE18 in Round 12 -- suggests fantasy managers may be overlooking one of the safer veteran values at the position. Henry had a career year in 2025, playing all 17 games and recording 60 receptions on 87 targets for a career-high 768 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns. He finished as a top-10 fantasy tight end both seasons. Even with the addition of new starters at wideout in A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, this is good news for tight end Hunter Henry, who quietly turned in one of the most productive seasons of his career in 2025, finishing as TE9 on the season after earning Maye's trust in the QB's first two seasons.
STACKED’s take
TE18 ADP undervalues Henry's TE9 finish and secure role with Maye.
Henry is TE18 in ADP (Round 12) but TE16 in rankings, suggesting the market is overlooking his floor and proven upside. He had a career year in 2025, playing all 17 games and recording 60 receptions on 87 targets for a career-high 768 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns, finishing as TE9 overall with five TE1 finishes (two TE1 overall weeks). He also tallied a career-high 11 catches of 20 yards or more in 2025. This follows his 2024 season when he paced the Patriots in receiving yards (674) and targets (97) while tying for the lead in catches (66), finishing as a top-10 fantasy tight end both seasons. Even with the addition of new starters at wideout in A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, Henry remains a focal point of the Patriots' passing game under QB Drake Maye, who has established trust with Henry over his first two seasons. Drafting him at TE18 means paying for his floor instead of the TE1 production he's already demonstrated in this offense; he remains a safer veteran value with a realistic 60/650/6 outlook and a chance to average five targets per game.
