Hunter Henry Usage By Result
-
Wins (3): 64 routes and 9 targets
-
Losses (2): 75 routes and 19 targets
He had the long touchdown in Week 4 against the Panthers, but he’s looking like a script-dependent tight end, and that makes his weekly value reliant on what you think of New England as a whole.
I worry that his looks are trending down with Stefon Diggs finding the Fountain of Youth: can this offense only sustain one pass catcher?
I’m keeping Henry on the TE1 fringe, but that third tier at the position is awfully fluid, and I don’t think you’re out of the long-term streaming mix if you currently are comfortable in holding New England’s TE1.
