Injury Status: Healthy
by Andersen Pickard
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is holding on to his status as a top-12 fantasy option for at least one more week, as the veteran pass-catcher prepares for a highly favorable Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions. On paper, it seemed like Henry may be trending in the wrong direction with wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) in the mix to play this week. After all, Brown is capable of being targeted in contested situations and around the goal line, potentially taking away from Henry's volume. However, that's not a concern quite yet, as Henry should overcome any competition concerns with a fantastic matchup on tap. The Lions have allowed the most fantasy points, the most yards, and the most touchdowns to opposing tight ends in 2026, keeping Henry in fringe must-start territory for Week 10. Henry also has an impressive track record of his own lately, catching 25 passes for 290 yards and two touchdowns over his last six games. The 31-year-old may eventually have some sell-high potential in fantasy football, but for now, he's firmly in the "hold and start" conversation. He ranks as the overall TE9 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 10.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry led the team with seven receiving touchdowns last season. Henry logged a career-high 708 receiving yards on 60 catches over 17 games. The 31-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down and owned 33.3% of the team's targets in the red zone. Henry is durable as they come and has logged 81 of 85 games for the Patriots. New England released Stefon Diggs, but added wide receivers A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason. On top of Brown and Doubs, Henry will also compete for targets with Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, and Kyle Williams. The Patriots did let tight end Austin Hooper walk in free agency, but drafted Eli Raridon in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Henry has been quarterback Drake Maye's most reliable target in the red zone, and even with the recent additions, his role around the goal line shouldn't change much. Henry finished as TE7 in fantasy football last year, but is ranked as RotoBaller's TE18, making him more of a streaming option in a positive matchup than a weekly starter in 2026.less...
