It doesn't take a math degree to see what has happened for Henry. He's led the team with about a 20% target share with both Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye. But 20% of Maye's 259.5 yards per game is a lot more enticing than 20% of Brissett's 139.2.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Week 8 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Henry has loved playing with quarterback Drake Maye the past two games, and Maye has helped Henry become a No. 1 Fantasy tight end in all leagues. Henry has scored at least 13.1 PPR points in each start with Maye with 11 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in two outings against Houston and Jacksonville. He has a tough upcoming schedule against the Jets, Titans and Bears, but I'm willing to trust Henry with Maye under center. He's worth adding for 10-15 percent of your remaining FAB.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Maye's favorite target
Rotowire
Henry recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars.
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 competent under Maye.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
In his first game with Drake Maye in Week 6 against Houston, Henry had three catches for 41 yards and a touchdown on five targets, and he gets a great matchup in Week 7 against the Jaguars, who couldn't stop Cole Kmet in Week 6 when he scored 24 PPR points. Hopefully, Henry can continue to connect with Maye in this matchup, and I like him as a low-end No. 1 tight end in all leagues.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Week 7 Waiver Priority List

I like what Henry did in his first game with Drake Maye in Week 6 against Houston with three catches for 41 yards and a touchdown on five targets, and he gets a great matchup in Week 7 against the Jaguars, who couldn't stop Cole Kmet in Week 6 when he scored 24 PPR points. Hopefully, Henry can become a No. 1 tight end to close the season now that Maye is the starting quarterback for the Patriots, and Henry is worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Scores in Maye's first start
Rotowire
Henry caught three of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.
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.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: TEs to Sit
Rotowire
Henry scored 18.9 PPR points in Week 2 against Seattle, but he scored 5.2 PPR points or less in each of his other four games this season. We'll see if Drake Maye can help Henry get back on track, but I need to see it first from the rookie quarterback to the veteran tight end. The Texans are also No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, so it's tough to trust Henry as a No. 1 tight end in the majority of leagues.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Another two-catch game
Rotowire
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.
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.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: TEs to Sit
Rotowire
Henry scored 18.9 PPR points in Week 2 against Seattle, but he's combined for 9.9 PPR points in his other three games. Austin Hooper has as many targets as Henry in the past two weeks (six), and Hooper scored a touchdown in Week 4 at San Francisco. The Dolphins have yet to allow a tight end to score a touchdown, and Henry is only worth using in deeper leagues in this matchup.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Makes two catches Sunday
Rotowire
Henry brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to San Francisco.
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.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Ready for Week 4 contest
Rotowire
Henry (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
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, given the inconsistency of his team's passing game.

Henry had a huge game in Week 2 against Seattle with eight catches for 109 yards on 12 targets. In his other two games, Henry has combined for four catches for 27 yards on six targets. This week, he's facing a 49ers defense that is No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and San Francisco should keep Henry in check in Week 4.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Limited by ankle issue
Rotowire
Henry was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
I'm willing to start Henry in all leagues in Week 3 at the Jets after the way he played in Week 2. He was a star against Seattle with eight catches for 109 yards on 12 targets, and hopefully that's a sign of things to come. Now, he only had two catches for 18 yards on three targets in Week 1 at Cincinnati, but Jacoby Brissett will likely continue to lean on Henry while the young Patriots receiving corps finds its way. This could be another standout outing for Henry on Thursday night.
Both Jacoby Brissett and Alex Van Pelt have an extended history of featuring the tight end in the passing game, so the fact that Henry leads the Patriots in target share shouldn't be that surprising, especially when you look at their wide receivers. But it is also worth remembering that Henry only had two catches on three targets in Week 1. I'm not starting him over any of the top nine tight ends, but he is the top streamer.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Tops 100 yards
Rotowire
Henry recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 109 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
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.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Two catches in season-opening win
Rotowire
Henry brought in two of three targets for 18 yards in the Patriots' 16-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
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 open question, so Henry's outlook isn't particularly bright heading into a Week 2 home battle against the Seahawks.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Logs full practice
Rotowire
Henry was a full participant in practice Wednesday after contending with a foot injury during the preseason.
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 close.
