New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (knee) won't suit up for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Jets. The veteran tight end will see his 2023 campaign come to an end with the Pats not in playoff position. He finished with 42 receptions, 419 yards, and six touchdowns in 2023. Henry will come short of his fifth straight 500-plus yard campaign. The 29-year-old looked much better once Bailey Zappe took over under center. His absence on Sunday should mean that Mike Gesicki gets more looks as the No. 1 tight end.
New England Patriots tight ends Hunter Henry (knee) and Pharaoh Brown (ribs) were both limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Henry is trying to make it back for what is expected to be head coach Bill Belichick's last game with the organization after the 29-year-old tight end missed the last two games with a knee injury. In two games before getting hurt, Henry had 10 catches on 12 targets for 106 yards and three touchdowns, so he'll have some low-cost sleeper potential in DFS if he's able to return and serve as a red-zone target for quarterback Bailey Zappe in the Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Jets. If Henry misses the final game of the year, Brown and Mike Gesicki should have bigger roles, but neither would be particularly attractive in fantasy lineups.
New England Patriots tight ends Pharaoh Brown (ribs) and Hunter Henry (knee) were both listed as limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Henry has missed the last two games with a knee injury but appears closer to returning for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the New York Jets. With Henry out the last two weeks, Mike Gesicki has caught six of eight targets for 50 yards and one touchdown. Henry was on a roll in his last two games before getting hurt, hauling in 10 of his 12 targets for 106 yards and three touchdowns. If he's able to make it back for the final game of the regular season, the 29-year-old could be in play as a touchdown-dependent sleeper option in DFS formats, although the matchup isn't the greatest. In Week 3 against the Jets, Henry caught two passes for 17 yards.
