Dallas Goedert vs Hunter Henry

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Dallas Goedert is the better fantasy play this season.

Dallas Goedert is the better play on a neutral week. 10.3 PPG with 591 yards gives a reliable baseline. Hunter Henry at 8.8 PPG is not far behind and could win specific weeks where matchup and game script align. Draft Dallas Goedert higher, but do not fade Hunter Henry entirely.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Fantasy Tiers

Dallas Goedert: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). Hunter Henry: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #13 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Dallas Goedert is producing at 47% of elite pace and Hunter Henry at 40%. That ranking gap means Dallas Goedert carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Dallas Goedert vs Hunter Henry: Who Should You Start?

If you are choosing between Dallas Goedert and Hunter Henry for your lineup, you are not alone. Dallas Goedert finished the 2025 season at 10.3 PPG for the Philadelphia Eagles (15 games), and Hunter Henry averaged 8.8 for the New England Patriots (17 games).

That 1.5-point weekly advantage for Dallas Goedert 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.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Dallas Goedert had 60 catches for 591 yards; Hunter Henry posted 60 for 768. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Dallas Goedert sits Week 9 while Hunter Henry is off Week 14. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Hunter Henry (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
