Colston Loveland vs Hunter Henry: Who Should You Start?

Colston Loveland (8.5 PPG) and Hunter Henry (8.8 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two tight ends are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Colston Loveland played 16 games for the Chicago Bears; Hunter Henry suited up 17 times for the New England Patriots.

A 0.3-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Colston Loveland had 58 catches for 713 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.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Colston Loveland sits Week 7 while Hunter Henry is off Week 14. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 numbers favor Hunter Henry at 8.8 PPG, 0.3 points per game above Colston Loveland's 8.5. But season stats only tell part of the story. DraftCall's AI factors in weekly matchup, recent form, and injury status to give you a verdict that updates with the latest data.
