It’s all hands on deck for this Patriots offense in Super Bowl LX. The Seahawks are a juggernaut on both sides of the ball, and you need to get creative in order to beat this Seattle defense. New England tight end Hunter Henry could be a key to victory for the Patriots, but can we count on him in the player prop market?
Seattle is favored by 4.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook, and the game total sits at 45.5 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Hunter Henry prop to consider for Super Bowl Sunday.
Best Hunter Henry Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Hunter Henry Over 39.5 Receiving Yards (-109)
This Seahawks defense does not have many holes. The pass rush is excellent, and the secondary is reminiscent of the Legion of Boom days. But if they have one weakness, it’s against opposing tight ends.
In the regular season, opposing tight ends were targeted 144 times, reeling in 105 catches for 1,080 yards against the Seahawks. Seattle was 28th in targets against, 28th in catches against, and 27th in yards against. In short, tight ends tend to feast in these spots.
That has been no different in the playoffs. In Seattle’s first game during the Divisional Round, they had a distinct advantage with George Kittle on the sidelines. But their backup tight end, Jake Tonges, still got his. Tonges recorded five catches for 59 yards. In the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams, they had even more of a test against Colby Parkinson. The former Seahawk reeled in three catches for 62 yards in that game, once again proving that tight ends can find opportunities against this defense.
I’d argue that Hunter Henry is quite easily the best receiver of the three. He had the best receiving line during the regular season and has had a good target share all season long. After a disappointing Divisional and Conference Championship run, this is the opportunity for Henry to get back on track and make some plays over the middle in Super Bowl LX. 40 yards feels like a great target.
