At 176 ADP, Hunter Henry's suppressed draft cost is baffling considering he just finished as the TE9 in total fantasy points in 2025. The 31-year-old played a vital role in Drake Maye's second-year leap, serving as both a safety valve and red zone weapon. Henry was second among all tight ends in red zone target share (35.5%) and third in red zone targets (22). He ranked 10th in yards after catch (335) and had nine receptions of 20-plus yards, sixth-best at the position. While the Patriots drafted Eli Raridon in the third round, Raridon is a complete unknown with multiple ACL tears and just 623 receiving yards and three scores in college. Based on what was seen last year, Henry still has plenty left in the tank, and there's a non-zero chance New England re-ups him. With an ADP of 176, there are far worse and less productive players in this range.

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.

Henry is TE24 at MFL ADP 163.29, which Richard Janvrin views as an over-correction despite the Patriots' schedule difficulty and new weapons. Last season, Henry was second on the team in target share at 18%, catching 60 passes for 768 yards and seven touchdowns. For context, the fantasy TE24 last season was Sam LaPorta, who played only nine games with 40 catches for 489 yards and three touchdowns. The Patriots added A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, which will reduce Henry's target share, but he had a 33.8% target share in the red zone last season, so touchdowns will remain consistent. If punting tight end, Henry will be a great option.
