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 Oronde Gadsden

Late-Round Stash With Sneaky Upside After Preseason Market Drop

After posting 49 receptions for 664 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games as a rookie in 2025, Oronde Gadsden enters his second campaign facing a crowded Chargers tight end room. Operating alongside Charlie Kolar and David Njoku, Gadsden must carve out steady snaps to secure consistent receiving work.

Draft sentiment has cratered over the summer. Gadsden’s ADP tumbled from pick 123 in July to past pick 214 by September, while his roster rate dropped toward 12%. The sliding market reflects growing skepticism about his standing on the depth chart and path to immediate volume.

Despite fading market buzz, our projections still see standalone value, pegging him for 60 catches, 615 yards, and four touchdowns (123.0 fantasy points). At his virtually free draft-day price, Gadsden represents an intriguing late-round stash if he claims a larger share of Justin Herbert's targets.
