Hunter Henry vs Juwan Johnson: Who Should You Start?
Hunter Henry (8.8 PPG) and Juwan Johnson (8.3 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. Hunter Henry played 17 games for the New England Patriots; Juwan Johnson suited up 17 times for the New Orleans Saints.
A 0.5-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.
Juwan Johnson is the volume tight end in this matchup with 77 receptions for 889 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 Juwan Johnson, but the floor gap is real.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Hunter Henry sits Week 14 while Juwan Johnson is off Week 12. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
