2024 Season Outlooks

We aren't drafting Henry in most Fantasy leagues because the 29-year-old hasn't averaged even 40 yards per game since he got to New England and his only real Fantasy relevance in that time has been as a touchdown-dependent streamer. But we will be watching his usage early in the year because new offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt has been in Cleveland the last four seasons, helping to run one of the more tight end-centric offenses in the league. Last year the Browns threw 166 passes to tight ends, the seventh-highest mark in the league. If Van Pelt brings that to New England, Henry could be a top waiver wire add early in the season. Otherwise, well throw darts streaming Henry during bye weeks and hoping we choose the week he scores a touchdown.

Hunter Henry enters his fourth season with the Patriots. Last season, he caught 42 of 61 targets and averaged 8.5 fantasy points per game. Henry's fantasy numbers were largely inflated by his six touchdowns. Although Mike Gesicki is no longer on the team, New England brought in Austin Hooper. Henry figures to settle in third or fourth on the team in targets in an offense that figures to deal with some growing pains with rookie QB Drake Maye under center. Henry is best viewed as a low-end TE2.
