Fantasy Football analysis: Patriots TEs Jonnu Smith, Hunter Henry
Henry has been the more fantasy football relevant option than Smith at this point in the season. The 26-year-old has recorded 27 receptions (38 targets) for 316 yards and five touchdowns.
It is the second time in his career the veteran tight end has scored five touchdowns in a season. The last time happened back in 2019 with the Chargers, he also had 55 receptions (76 targets) for 652 yards. As for Smith, he only has 21 receptions (34 targets) for 193 yards and a career-low one touchdown.
