Fantasy Football Player Notes

Henry had an up-and-down season, which can be traced to an ankle and knee issue. The ankle ailment slowed him down during the middle of the season (Weeks 6-8) and the knee problem ended his season early (Week 16). Henry had ten games last year where he was able to play at least 70% of the snaps. In that sample, he finished as a TE1 in 50% of his games while drawing a 15.2% target share with 1.35 yards per route run and 35.7 receiving yards per game. He averaged 10.8 fantasy points per game. The interesting takeaway in that sample was that among 41 qualifying tight ends, he ranked seventh in first downs per route run, and that fantasy points per game mark would have made him TE8 in fantasy if he had kept up the pace all year. Henry is a strong late-round tight end who could flirt with TE1 production this year.
