Hunter Henry at Seattle — Touchdown-Dependent Streaming Option

Henry enters the season opener healthy and locked in as New England's starting tight end after securing an offseason contract extension. Operating alongside quarterback Drake Maye and a reloaded receiver room, the veteran remains a primary red-zone target and trusted safety valve over the middle.

Rostered in 65% of leagues but started in only 15%, Henry profiles as a touchdown-reliant option rather than a lineup fixture. Our weekly projection anticipates roughly 3.4 receptions for 37 yards (8.8 fantasy points). Given the crowded target hierarchy, fantasy managers should view him as a matchup-dependent streaming candidate who needs to find the end zone to deliver a solid return.
