News: 7 hours agoHenry (foot) practiced fully Wednesday.

Spin: Evidently it was a foot issue that slowed Henry during the preseason, but the tight end's full practice participation Wednesday sets the stage for him to be available for Sunday's season opener against the Bengals. While the Patriots seem likely to be a run-heavy team out of the gate, Henry could still end up seeing enough targets from starting QB Jacoby Brissett to merit fantasy lineup consideration. Henry logged six TDs in 14 regular-season games in 2023, and should once again serve as a useful option for the team in close.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Hunter Henry enters his fourth season with the Patriots. Last season, he caught 42 of 61 targets and averaged 8.5 fantasy points per game. Henry's fantasy numbers were largely inflated by his six touchdowns. Although Mike Gesicki is no longer on the team, New England brought in Austin Hooper. Henry figures to settle in third or fourth on the team in targets in an offense that figures to deal with some growing pains with rookie QB Drake Maye under center. Henry is best viewed as a low-end TE2.
