Should You Start or Sit Hunter Henry in Week 12?
Hunter Henry has at least five catches in four of his past five games. While the quality of those receptions is very much in question (one touchdown this season, seven games without a catch gaining more than 15 yards), volume talks at the back end of the tight end rankings.
The Dolphins’ blitz rate has fallen off a cliff over the past two weeks, which could result in clean releases for a YAC threat like Henry. Austin Hooper’s presence continues to be annoying (4+ targets in four of his past five games), but with Henry being targeted on 35.1% of his red-zone routes in November, I think there’s enough potential to make him a top-10 TE option in a week where New England may abandon the run early on.
