Hunter Henry or Jordan Addison: Who Should You Start?

Start Henry: the steadier tight-end role beats Addison’s slight projection edge

Henry’s TE1 role and New England’s stronger scoring environment give him the more reliable path to production, even against Pittsburgh’s difficult tight-end matchup. That matchup is based on only one game with zero confidence, so it should not outweigh his positional advantage. Addison has the better individual matchup and a slightly higher projection, but his WR2, vertical role makes him more dependent on low-volume splash plays. The risk in starting Henry is that Pittsburgh suppresses his red-zone access; it is still a narrower concern than Addison’s weekly target volatility.

What flips it: A late change to Henry’s availability or clear evidence that Addison’s target role has expanded.
