Hunter Henry vs Noah Fant: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Hunter Henry and Noah Fant is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The New England Patriots tight end put up 8.8 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Noah Fant of the New Orleans Saints averaged 3.9 in 15. A 4.9-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 4.9 points favors Hunter Henry, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one tight end to the other.
Hunter Henry is the volume tight end in this matchup with 60 receptions for 768 yards, while Noah Fant profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (3 scores on 34 catches). In weeks where Noah Fant finds the end zone he out-scores Hunter Henry, but the floor gap is real.
One scheduling note: Hunter Henry is off Week 14 and Noah Fant Week 12. 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.
