Outlook Taysom Hill

Declining Efficiency and Contract Uncertainty Cast Doubt on Fantasy's Ultimate Swiss Army Knife

Taysom Hill remains one of the most polarizing figures in fantasy football. Entering his age-36 season, the veteran tight end's contract status has drawn recent headlines, with reports indicating no current offer is on the table for him. This uncertainty, paired with his unique hybrid role, makes his projection highly volatile.

Historically, our data shows Hill's value is entirely dependent on his multi-dimensional usage. However, in 2025, his rushing efficiency plummeted to a career-low 2.1 yards per carry across 62 attempts, and he caught just 11 passes. His high-end fantasy weeks are increasingly rare as his physical playstyle catches up to his aging body.

Despite the risks, Hill's ownership is rising in early drafts, climbing to nearly 45% as managers seek tight end depth with touchdown upside. Without a guaranteed long-term contract or a clear path to consistent targets, he is a highly volatile option who represents a risky bench stash rather than a reliable weekly starter.

Outlook Hunter Henry

Reliable Veteran Tight End Remains a Great Value in Late Rounds

Hunter Henry enters the season as New England's top tight end, sitting atop the depth chart for quarterback Drake Maye. With backup Julian Hill sidelined for the year on injured reserve, Henry's dominance of the tight end snaps is secure. Coming off a career-best 2025 campaign with 883 yards and eight touchdowns, he remains a vital piece of this offense.

In draft circles, Henry's ADP has seen some fluctuation, briefly spiking into the 90s before stabilizing around pick 130 in PPR leagues. This late-round cost makes him a significant value buy according to our models. While currently started in 55% of leagues, he offers a much safer floor than his market price suggests.

Our projections expect a reliable 55 receptions for 630 yards and six touchdowns, translating to 152.0 fantasy points. While a slight regression from last year's career highs is expected, his steady red-zone role keeps him firmly in the streaming TE1 conversation.
