Cade Otton vs Hunter Henry: Who Should You Start?

If you are choosing between Cade Otton and Hunter Henry for your lineup, you are not alone. Cade Otton finished the 2025 season at 5.8 PPG for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (16 games), and Hunter Henry averaged 8.8 for the New England Patriots (17 games).

That 3.0-point weekly advantage for Hunter Henry is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Cade Otton had 59 catches for 572 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: Cade Otton is off Week 11 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.
