Dalton Schultz vs Hunter Henry: Who Should You Start?
Dalton Schultz (8.0 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. Dalton Schultz played 17 games for the Houston Texans; Hunter Henry suited up 17 times for the New England Patriots.
A 0.8-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.
Dalton Schultz is the volume tight end in this matchup with 82 receptions for 777 yards, while Hunter Henry profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (7 scores on 60 catches). In weeks where Hunter Henry finds the end zone he out-scores Dalton Schultz, but the floor gap is real.
Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking tight ends this deep on your bench, plan your replacement tight end early.
