Hunter Henry vs Noah Gray: The Full Breakdown

If you are choosing between Hunter Henry and Noah Gray for your lineup, you are not alone. Hunter Henry finished the 2025 season at 8.8 PPG for the New England Patriots (17 games), and Noah Gray averaged 4.6 for the Kansas City Chiefs (17 games).

That 4.2-point weekly advantage for Hunter Henry is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Hunter Henry is the volume tight end in this matchup with 60 receptions for 768 yards, while Noah Gray profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (2 scores on 38 catches). In weeks where Noah Gray finds the end zone he out-scores Hunter Henry, but the floor gap is real.

Hunter Henry has his bye in Week 11, and Noah Gray rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Hunter Henry is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Noah Gray is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Hunter Henry (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Noah Gray (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
