Should You Start or Sit Hunter Henry in Week 7?
Henry saw his most targets in a game since Week 2 and caught his first touchdown of the season in Drake Maye’s starting debut. His slot rate is up for a second consecutive season (40.4% through six weeks this season, 35.3% a season ago). That puts him in a position to soak up efficient targets in an offense that might have a touch of upside moving forward.
My concern here is the replication of skills. DeMario Douglas is valuable close to the line of scrimmage and so are the running backs on this roster, leaving Henry, for now, as more risk than reward when I stack up the position.
I like his role potential more than Dalton Schultz or Zach Ertz moving forward. But with those two possessing so much more scoring equity due to the potency of their offenses, I need more than a single Maye Day for me to rank Henry as a viable option every week.
