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.

Outlook Oronde Gadsden

Sleeper Tight End Poised for a Breakout Year in Los Angeles

Oronde Gadsden enters his second season listed atop the depth chart, ahead of veteran David Njoku. Catching passes from Justin Herbert, Gadsden is poised to build on a productive 2025 campaign where he posted 664 receiving yards. Our models project Gadsden to earn 77 targets, translating to 50 receptions and four touchdowns.

Draft market trends show Gadsden's PPR ADP has experienced significant volatility, briefly spiking into the 70s before stabilizing around pick 112. This makes him a clear value target in the double-digit rounds for managers looking to secure late-round tight end depth with proven upside.

With over 55% roster ownership and climbing start rates, fantasy managers are beginning to notice his potential. If he solidifies his role as Herbert's primary intermediate weapon alongside Ladd McConkey, Gadsden could easily outperform his current draft price and offer reliable weekly utility.
