2024 Fantasy Outlook
Henry’s 419 receiving yards in 2023 marked his lowest total among the seven NFL seasons in which he has played at least one game, but he tied for second among tight ends with six touchdown catches, which was an impressive feat considering the Patriots finished with a league-low 16 passing touchdowns as a team. That production came despite Henry seeing only six red-zone targets among his 61 targets overall. Even after missing the final three games of 2023 due to a knee injury, Henry wasn’t too far from his career averages of 550 yards and 5.4 touchdowns per season. The 29-year-old tight end inked a three-year extension with the Patriots in March, and New England proceeded to draft quarterback Drake Maye third overall in April, raising the collective ceiling of a passing game that didn’t have a single player reach 600 receiving yards with the underwhelming combination of Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe under center last season.

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.

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.
