Henry was a popular sleeper candidate entering the season after the Patriots hired Alex Van Pelt as their offensive coordinator. He has always featured the tight ends in his offense. Furthermore, New England’s wide receiver core has been a disappointment over the first two weeks of the season.
Fantasy players should add Henry in all league sizes. The tight end position is a mess, with multiple top-10 guys injured. While he won’t score 14 or more fantasy points without a touchdown every week, Henry has top-10 upside this year, especially if the young wide receiver core continues to struggle.
