Hunter Henry vs Jake Ferguson: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Hunter Henry finished the 2025 season at 8.8 PPG over 17 games with the New England Patriots, while Jake Ferguson clocked in at 8.7 across 17 appearances for the Dallas Cowboys. A 0.1-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.
Jake Ferguson is the volume tight end in this matchup with 82 receptions for 600 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 Jake Ferguson, but the floor gap is real.
One scheduling note: Hunter Henry is off Week 14 and Jake Ferguson Week 7. 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.
