Outlook Theo Johnson
Backup Role and Shoulder Injury Stifle Draft Appeal
Theo Johnson enters the campaign operating as the secondary tight end behind Isaiah Likely in New York's offense. Coming off a solid sophomore season with 48 receptions, 605 yards, and five touchdowns, Johnson's momentum hit a snag after suffering a late-August shoulder injury in practice. Although he returned to practice in a non-contact jersey, his early availability is clouded.
Operating behind Likely and a wideout group featuring Malik Nabers and Darnell Mooney, target volume will be limited. Our projections anticipate a reduced role, forecasting 35 catches on 46 targets for 325 yards and three touchdowns.
Draft sentiment has cratered accordingly in 1.0 PPR formats. Johnson's ADP tumbled from the 270s in mid-August to nearly pick 400, matching a roster rate drop to 1%. At this shifting price, our data views him purely as a deep-league stash who requires an injury ahead of him to regain fantasy viability.

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.
