Is Hunter Henry Hurt Or Healthy?
Hunter Henry's second season with the New England Patriots has been disappointing. Henry is well off pace in comparison to his 2021 production and he's found the end zone just twice in 2022.
Those unfortunate fantasy managers that were hoping for some production from the former Charger in Week 16 were rudely disappointed, as the Pats' TE left the game against Cincy just two plays into the first quarter with an apparent knee injury. Henry did not return to action in Week 16.
Hunter Henry Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 17
Currently standing as just the fantasy overall TE21 in standard-scoring formats, Henry has remained a dart throw option simply due to the lack of viable fantasy options at the TE position in 2022.
While we haven't yet received an update on his knee injury, his potential availability for a Week 17 division clash with the Miami Dolphins appears to be in serious doubt. Fantasy GMs will want to monitor Henry's status throughout the week, but even if he does suit up against Miami, there are better options out there.
Henry managers that are lucky enough to still be fighting for a league championship this week should take the "L" on the New England TE and replace him promptly.
