Should You Start or Sit Hunter Henry in Week 13?
Drake Maye is peppering the TE position with targets these days but hasn’t featured one exclusively, which makes both Henry and Austin Hooper difficult to count on.
Over the past three weeks, Henry has earned 21 targets to Hooper’s 12. That’s encouraging, but his lead in the reception department over that stretch is just 12-11. Add in the consistent role of DeMario Douglas (27 targets in November) and the involvement of the running backs — there’s just not much upward trajectory for any pass catcher in this offense.
I prefer Henry to Hooper if you’re in the tortured spot of having to decide, but there are 15 players at the position I like more than either, so you can do better in most situations.
