Outlook Hunter Henry
Late-Round Value Beckons After Fresh Extension Solidifies Starting Role
Hunter Henry secured his starting role in New England after signing a two-year contract extension in August. Operating as the clear lead tight end on the depth chart ahead of Eli Raridon, Henry remains a trusted safety valve for quarterback Drake Maye in this offense.
Draft market sentiment has cooled recently, with Henry’s ADP sliding from the 140s in July down past pick 195. That late-round tumble creates clear value in 1.0 PPR leagues, especially as our projections forecast 55 receptions for 660 yards and five touchdowns.
Following an impressive 883-yard, eight-touchdown campaign last season, Henry offers proven red-zone chemistry and consistent weekly volume. He represents a prime late-round target for fantasy managers punting the position who need dependable baseline production.

Outlook T.J. Hockenson
Discounted Draft Price Creates Late-Round Appeal for Minnesota's Starting Tight End
T.J. Hockenson enters the year as Minnesota's starting tight end, holding the lead role over Josh Oliver. However, earning consistent target volume will be challenging in a crowded passing attack headlined by Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jauan Jennings.
Coming off a 2025 season where he tallied 55 receptions for 457 yards and three scores, our projections anticipate a modest bounce-back to 60 catches, 565 receiving yards, and three touchdowns (141.0 PPR points). While he remains an experienced safety valve, declining yardage efficiency limits his overall weekly ceiling.
Fantasy draft markets have cooled significantly on the veteran, with his ADP tumbling from pick 150 in late July down past pick 200. At this heavily discounted draft cost, Hockenson transforms from a risky starter into a high-floor, late-round depth stash with reliable reception upside in full-PPR formats.
