I'll probably change this post if Drake Maye (concussion) is able to play in Week 9, but Maye was injured in Week 8 against the Jets. Henry's production in two games with Maye was awesome since Henry scored at least 13.1 PPR points in each outing against Houston and Jacksonville. With Jacoby Brissett, Henry has scored more than 5.2 PPR points just twice in six appearances. The Titans are No. 5 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Henry is someone to avoid if Brissett starts for the Patriots in Week 9.
Henry would be my favorite stream if Drake Maye was starting, but for now we're projecting Jacoby Brissett. Still, he had a 100-yard game earlier this season with the veteran and cored 9.5 PPR Fantasy points without a touchdown last week.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I'll like Henry more if Drake Maye (concussion) is able to play in Week 9 against the Titans, but Henry is still worth adding since Maye isn't expected to be out for an extended period of time. In his first two games with Maye, Henry scored at least 13.1 PPR points in each outing, but he only had 9.5 PPR points in Week 8 against the Jets when Maye was injured. Long-term, Henry should be considered a borderline starter in all leagues when Maye is under center. Henry is worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Five catches as Maye concussed
Rotowire
Henry caught five of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.
Henry had a would-be 39-yard catch from Jacoby Brissett wiped out by a holding penalty in the third quarter, but he still finished just one receiving yard shy of Kayshon Boutte's team-leading total. All three of New England's touchdowns came on the ground, as the passing game took a back seat after Drake Maye's (concussion) first-half exit. Henry's ceiling will be lower in Week 9 against the Titans if Brissett starts at quarterback rather than Maye.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Drake Maye has been great for Henry, who has become a low-end starting tight end in all leagues after his performance in the past two games with Maye under center. Henry has scored at least 13.1 PPR points in each start, with Maye with 11 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in two outings against Houston and Jacksonville. He has a tough matchup in Week 8 against the Jets, but I would still trust Henry as a starter in the majority of leagues.

It doesn't take a math degree to see what has happened for Henry. He's led the team with about a 20% target share with both Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye. But 20% of Maye's 259.5 yards per game is a lot more enticing than 20% of Brissett's 139.2.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Week 8 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Henry has loved playing with quarterback Drake Maye the past two games, and Maye has helped Henry become a No. 1 Fantasy tight end in all leagues. Henry has scored at least 13.1 PPR points in each start with Maye with 11 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in two outings against Houston and Jacksonville. He has a tough upcoming schedule against the Jets, Titans and Bears, but I'm willing to trust Henry with Maye under center. He's worth adding for 10-15 percent of your remaining FAB.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Maye's favorite target
Rotowire
Henry recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars.
Henry delivered splash plays on each of the Patriots' scoring drives, the first for 18 yards in the opening quarter and a 32-yard reception in the final frame. Even during less effective possessions, Drake Maye consistently looked Henry's way, allowing the tight end to tally his second eight-reception performance of the season. Henry should be in a good position to remain a significant part of New England's offense, and he could remain reasonably productive with the unit looking far more competent under Maye.

In his first game with Drake Maye in Week 6 against Houston, Henry had three catches for 41 yards and a touchdown on five targets, and he gets a great matchup in Week 7 against the Jaguars, who couldn't stop Cole Kmet in Week 6 when he scored 24 PPR points. Hopefully, Henry can continue to connect with Maye in this matchup, and I like him as a low-end No. 1 tight end in all leagues.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Scores in Maye's first start
Rotowire
Henry caught three of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.
Henry was quiet for most of the game but came alive on a third-quarter drive after the Patriots fell behind 27-7, contributing a 30-yard catch and a six-yard touchdown grab. He finished second on the team in targets behind DeMario Douglas' nine. Drake Maye threw three touchdown passes in his first NFL start and has raised the ceiling of New England's entire passing game heading into the team's Week 7 trip to England to face the porous Jaguars defense.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: TEs to Sit

Henry scored 18.9 PPR points in Week 2 against Seattle, but he scored 5.2 PPR points or less in each of his other four games this season. We'll see if Drake Maye can help Henry get back on track, but I need to see it first from the rookie quarterback to the veteran tight end. The Texans are also No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, so it's tough to trust Henry as a No. 1 tight end in the majority of leagues.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Another two-catch game
Rotowire
Henry logged 56 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
For the third straight game and fourth time in five contests overall, Henry caught exactly two passes, this time around on four targets for 32 yards. Henry's eight-catch effort in Week 2 stands out as an outlier, though the tight end's steady playing time does at least keep him involved in the Patriots passing attack on a weekly basis. If the team switches to Drake Maye at quarterback, Henry could see more looks as a security blanket for the rookie.

Henry scored 18.9 PPR points in Week 2 against Seattle, but he's combined for 9.9 PPR points in his other three games. Austin Hooper has as many targets as Henry in the past two weeks (six), and Hooper scored a touchdown in Week 4 at San Francisco. The Dolphins have yet to allow a tight end to score a touchdown, and Henry is only worth using in deeper leagues in this matchup.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Makes two catches Sunday
Rotowire
Henry brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to San Francisco.
Henry finished with disappointing numbers for the third time in four starts this season. The veteran tight end saw one more target than backup Austin Hooper, but the latter was the recipient of Jacoby Brissett's lone passing touchdown in the loss. Henry showed us in Week 2 that he can be a fantasy factor, but that glow has faded heading into Sunday's tilt against the Dolphins.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Ready for Week 4 contest
Rotowire
Henry (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
After logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Henry worked in full to close out the week, setting the stage for him to be available to face San Francisco on the road this weekend. Henry's been a hit-or-miss fantasy option out of the gate this season in the Patriots' Jacoby Brissett-helmed offense, with two-catch efforts in Weeks 1 and 3, and an 8-109-0 line on 12 targets in the team's Week 2 loss to the Seahawks. In that context, he profiles as a speculative lineup option for Week 4, given the inconsistency of his team's passing game.

Henry had a huge game in Week 2 against Seattle with eight catches for 109 yards on 12 targets. In his other two games, Henry has combined for four catches for 27 yards on six targets. This week, he's facing a 49ers defense that is No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and San Francisco should keep Henry in check in Week 4.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Limited by ankle issue
Rotowire
Henry was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
After a big game in Week 2 (eight catches for 109 yards on 12 targets), Henry caught two of his three targets for nine yards in this past Thursday's loss to the Jets, while recording a 63 percent snap share in the contest. Now managing an ankle issue as the Patriots begin Week 4 prep, the tight end will need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

I'm willing to start Henry in all leagues in Week 3 at the Jets after the way he played in Week 2. He was a star against Seattle with eight catches for 109 yards on 12 targets, and hopefully that's a sign of things to come. Now, he only had two catches for 18 yards on three targets in Week 1 at Cincinnati, but Jacoby Brissett will likely continue to lean on Henry while the young Patriots receiving corps finds its way. This could be another standout outing for Henry on Thursday night.
