Outlook Theo Johnson
Promising Young Tight End Facing a Crowded Depth Chart and Projected Regression
Coming off a breakout 2025 season where he posted 48 receptions and 605 yards, Theo Johnson finds his fantasy value capped heading into 2026. The Giants' addition of Isaiah Likely positions Johnson as the secondary tight end on the depth chart. While star receiver Malik Nabers is sidelined early on, Johnson still faces a steep climb to replicate last year's target share.
This shifting outlook is reflected in draft rooms. Johnson's ADP has fluctuated wildly, peaking near 157 in early June before plummeting back to a bottom-tier 236. At this heavily discounted cost, our models view him as a low-risk bench stash, even though we project regression with 28 catches and 307 yards on the horizon.
Currently rostered in 47% of fantasy leagues but started in just 6%, managers are wisely treating Johnson as a wait-and-see option. He remains a high-end reserve tight end who needs a primary role to unlock his true fantasy ceiling.

Outlook Hunter Henry
Prime Late-Round Value as New England's Top Tight End Target
Coming off a strong 2025 campaign with 883 yards, Hunter Henry enters the season as the undisputed TE1 in New England's offense. Our models project him to lead the tight end group with 55 receptions for 630 yards and six touchdowns on 80 targets. His target share is highly secure, especially with backup tight end Julian Hill sidelined.
In 1.0 PPR formats, Henry's draft market trend has shown volatility, fluctuating from the 140s to a brief spike in the 90s before stabilizing at an ADP of 129.00. This shifting cost makes him a significant draft-day value. We view him as a highly appealing, cost-effective target for managers who wait on the tight end position.
With deep experience and an established role, Henry's floor is bolstered by strong fantasy ownership of 84%. He remains a reliable red-zone threat, meaning his ceiling could easily exceed our baseline expectations. Consider him a secure late-round target with steady TE1 potential.
