Hunter Henry or Mark Andrews Week 16 Start/Sit Advice and Fantasy Projection

Picking the best tight ends in Week 16 of the 2024 fantasy football season will be absolutely crucial. The fantasy playoffs have kicked off in most leagues, so a failure to optimize this position may result in being eliminated. Hunter Henry and Mark Andrews are two solid options to target this week, but here's which one is a better pick.

Is Hunter Henry a good fantasy pick in Week 16?

Hunter Henry

Hunter Henry has been solid during the 2024 fantasy football season so far, currently ranking as the overall QB13r. He has also finished among the top 12 weekly tight ends six times in 14 games, including four of them as the TE7 or better.

Up next for the veteran is a matchup against the Buffalo Bills' tough passing defense, but his potential game script provides a boost to his weekly fantasy outlook. The New England Patriots will likely have to pass the ball often to keep up this week, so Henry could see increased targets.

Is Mark Andrews a good fantasy pick in Week 16?

Mark Andrews

Mark Andrews got off to a slow start to the 2024 fantasy football season with the Baltimore Ravens, but he has put that behind him. He has now finished among the top 10 weekly tight ends in seven of his past nine games and has improved his season-long ranking to the overall TE6.

The star tight end will have a difficult matchup this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who he finished as the weekly TE27 against in their first meeting this year. He will be looking for better results this time around, especially considering he has finished as the weekly TE9 or better in all three of his games since then.

Hunter Henry or Mark Andrews: Who should I start in Week 16 fantasy football?

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool

Mark Andrews is the recommended tight end to use in Week 16 fantasy football lineups over Hunter Henry. Despite his disappointing performance in the same matchup just a few weeks ago, his consistent production since then is enough to give him the edge.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that Andrews will score nearly two additional fantasy points than Henry in PPR scoring formats this week. He has higher projections for receptions and yardage, while also being more likely to score a touchdown, clearly making him the better pick.
