New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry finds himself ranked 23rd among tight ends in Pro Football Network’s Week 3 evaluations. The drop highlights a quiet start to the season for the veteran receiver as the team prepares to face the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Through the first two games of the year, Henry has pulled in 66 receiving yards without a single touchdown. The sluggish output matches the broader struggles of the Patriots’ offense, which has managed just 30 total points across its opening two contests.
Limited Production Through Two Games
Fantasy managers who drafted Henry hoping for a key role in an explosive offense have experienced a frustrating start. During last week’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Henry managed a 29-yard reception on the opening drive despite poor weather conditions. He also picked up a target on a red-zone screen pass, but overall involvement tapered off for the rest of the game.
With limited volume keeping his numbers down, managers relying on Henry are increasingly forced to look toward tight end streaming options on the waiver wire.
Looking Ahead to Week 3
The Patriots will look to jumpstart their offense on Sunday in Jacksonville. While Henry’s current ranking puts him outside the tier of reliable weekly starters, managers holding onto the veteran will be watching closely to see if his target share increases against the Jaguars.
