Brenton Strange vs Hunter Henry: Who Should You Start?

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Brenton Strange finished the 2025 season at 7.9 PPG over 12 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Hunter Henry clocked in at 8.8 across 17 appearances for the New England Patriots. A 0.9-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Brenton Strange had 46 catches for 540 yards; Hunter Henry posted 60 for 768. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

One scheduling note: Brenton Strange is off Week 12 and Hunter Henry Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
