Bottom Line

Henry supplied one of the few bright spots on the Pats’ 2023 offense.

He earned a contract extension this offseason and enters the fall at just 29 years old.

Between a balanced offense and a transitioning QB room, Henry’s ceiling looks rather middling. But if you’re in the market for a proven TE2, he’s fairly priced (TE19) in Underdog ADP.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Henry was limited by one of the league’s worst passing games.
    • The 2023 Patriots managed only 199.5 passing yards and .94 passing TDs per game.
    • In 14 games, Henry ranked third on the team in targets (61), third in catches (42), second in yards (419) and first in TDs (6).
    • Five of his six red zone targets went for TDs.
  • Among 22 TEs with 60+ targets, Henry ranked 20th in yards per route run, 21st in catch rate, T-15th in yards per catch, and 13th in PFF receiving grade.
  • Henry finished as a top-12 fantasy TE five times, including four finishes inside the top-five.
  • Henry missed the final three games with a knee injury. This followed back to back 17-game campaigns.

What to Expect in 2024

  • Henry signed a three-year extension in March. It carries a base value of $27 million.
  • Mike Gesicki departed via free agency. He removes 45 targets from the TE room.
    • The Pats added Austin Hooper in free agency and Jaheim Bell in the draft (Round 7).
    • Hooper hasn’t held fantasy value since 2019.
    • Bell brings H-back size and is more of a developmental player.
  • New England’s WR corps remains without a proven WR1.
    • Ja’Lynn Polk (Round 2) and Javon Baker (Round 4) joined via the draft.
    • Returning vets include Kendrick Bourne (fresh off an ACL tear), Demario Douglas, and JuJu Smith-Schuster, who's no lock to make the team.
    • K.J. Osborn joined as a depth piece in free agency.
  • The potential remains for Henry to be among the team’s top red zone performers.
    • New QBs Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett supply hope for improved QB play.
    • Maye’s UNC tape showed highs and lows but overall, a plus arm with the ability to extend plays.
    • Brissett is the steady veteran – he boasts 48 career starts. We tentatively expect him to be the Week 1 starter.
    • Alex Van Pelt arrives as the new play-caller. His units have ranked top 10 in rushes in four of five seasons as OC.

Hunter Henry Delivers Third Straight Usable Week

Patriots TE Hunter Henry led the team with 5 receptions in Sunday's win over the Jets. His 45 receiving yards trailed WR Kayshon Boutte by 1 for the team lead. And they tied for the team lead with 6 targets apiece.

Patriots QB Drake Maye will start this weekend's game vs. the Texans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. New England hung on to QB Jacoby Brissett as long as it could -- but you can only stick with a QB averaging 5.2 yards per attempt for so long.

Patriots TE Hunter Henry had a breakout performance with a stat line of eight catches on 12 targets for 109 yards. Henry was the focal point of the Patriots’ receiving game more than doubling the targets of any other Patriots pass catcher. Though he didn’t score a TD, it was a great fantasy performance.

Patriots WR K.J. Osborn drew a team-high 6 targets in Sunday's upset win over the Bengals, catching just three for 21 yards. Those 3 receptions tied him with RB Rhamondre Stevenson for the team lead. No Patriot tallied more than 31 receiving yards, as QB Jacoby Brissett threw for only 121 yards on 15-of-24 passing. That target lead for Osborn also proved deceptive vs. the WR corps playing time.

The Patriots added Florida State TE Jaheim Bell in Round 7. Bell broke out as a 2021 sophomore at South Carolina, leading that Gamecocks team with five receiving TDs and ranking second in both catches (30) and receiving yards (497). His numbers took a step back in 2022 (25-231-1), but Bell rebounded this past year after transferring to Florida State. He ranked third on the Seminoles behind only WRs Keon Coleman and Johnny Wilson with 39 catches and 503 yards. Bell’s 1.97 yards per route beat Coleman and ranked 13th among 81 qualifying TEs. He’s undersized at 6’2, 241 pounds. But Bell clocked a 4.61-second 40 time at the Combine and earned an 8.45 Relative Athletic Score. He projects as a catch-first TE in the NFL. Bell joins a Patriots TE room led by Hunter Henry, who’s under contract through 2026. Henry turns 30 in December, though. We’ll see if Bell can build any momentum this summer. He’s just a flier in dynasty rookie drafts.
