The New England Patriots will visit the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Hunter Henry.
Is Hunter Henry Playing in Week 12?
Henry is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Henry in Week 12?
Hunter Henry is running 27.5 routes per game this season and has cleared that number in three straight. In theory, the role is there as a part of a strong offense, but with just one end zone target over his past six and six games under 40 receiving yards, the range of outcomes is working in his favor in standard-sized leagues.
That said, we did see a nice 24-yard chunk play on Thursday night where Drake Maye sold the play fake hard and showed nice touch over the top on the pass. Any semblance of downfield upside with an extended work week ahead of a matchup against the porous Bengals is worthy of our attention.
I like Henry as a streamer this week, but I’ve got it labeled as more of a matchup play than a role I’m truly interested in for the remainder of the season.
