ANALYSIS: Hunter Henry was able to fend off Jonnu Smith from ruining his fantasy value in 2021 and 2022 when both signed multimillion-dollar contracts with the Patriots, and now he is doing the same with new tight end teammate Mike Gesicki. Henry has 11 receptions for 108 yards and has scored touchdowns in each of his opening two games of the 2023 campaign.

Henry has benefited from another mediocre New England receiving corps where he has emerged as the best red zone option for quarterback Mac Jones. The big-bodied tight end has always been able to box defenders out around the end zone (34 TD in 91 games), so it is no surprise he has been able to score early this season. You might need to sit Henry for the next couple of weeks, though, if you pick him up. His next two contests are against the New York Jets and the Dallas Cowboys.
