2023 Fantasy Outlook
Henry regressed in his second season with the Patriots as the team’s entire offense took a step back. After totaling nine touchdowns and 17 red-zone targets in 2021, he had just two and seven in 2022. Henry played at least 70 percent of snaps in 12 of 17 games last season, catching 41 of 59 targets for 509 yards to top the 500-yard threshold for a fourth consecutive campaign. The Patriots traded fellow tight end Jonnu Smith to Atlanta in March, but they quickly replaced him with Mike Gesicki, who is more of a threat to take snaps from Henry in passing situations. Henry could become even more TD-dependent, which doesn't come with much upside given that the Patriots are set to run it back with QB Mac Jones after he threw only 14 TD passes last year.

Re-signing for three more years
Henry (knee) agreed Thursday with the Patriots on a three-year deal, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Prior to missing the final three contests of the 2023 regular season due to a left knee injury, Henry caught 42 passes (on 61 targets) for 419 yards to go along with a team-high six touchdown receptions in 14 games. With Henry staying put in New England, the Patriots will enjoy stability at the tight end position in the initial stage of Jerod Mayo's stint as the team's head coach. Regardless of which quarterback ends up as the starting for New England in 2024, Henry -- who will presumably be past his knee issue by the time on-field activities resume -- is set to reprise his key pass-catching role, a context that should result in the 29-year-old maintaining a degree of weekly fantasy utility this coming season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Back in fold with Pats
Henry re-signed with the Patriots on a three-year deal Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The move keeps the veteran tight end in place just days before he was to become an unrestricted free agent. Despite the many woes of the Patriots' passing game in 2023, Henry was often a bright spot, finishing with 42 catches for 419 yards and a team-high six touchdowns before a knee injury led to him missing the final three games of the regular season.

New England revamped its tight end room ahead of last season with lucrative contracts for
Henry and Jonnu Smith. The money was well spent on Henry, who played every game for the
first time in six seasons, after missing 25 of 80 games in his first five campaigns. Henry also
emerged as the far more effective pass catcher. The former Charger narrowly reached the 50-
catch and 600-yard thresholds for a third consecutive season, but the main attraction was a
career-high nine touchdown receptions, which tied for the league lead among tight ends. Henry
caught eight of 17 red-zone targets from rookie quarterback Mac Jones last season and scored
on all eight, while Smith caught five of 10 and scored on one. The 6-5 Henry should remain a
key red-zone target for the risk-averse Jones, but there is also a chance Smith sees more work
near the goal line at Henry’s expense. Considering those factors, Henry might not go much
beyond his 2021 production, as he would need a lot more targets between the 20s to offset the
likely regression in the red zone. The Patriots tried to improve their wide receiver corps this
offseason by trading for DeVante Parker, but they’ll still feature two-TE sets more than most
teams.
