Eli Raridon vs Hunter Henry
Eli Raridon holds a 6.2% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/19/2026
THE CASE FOR RARIDON
Raridon is a cheap, young TE bet whose value can rise quickly with any camp buzz or an in-season opportunity spike. New England’s pass-catcher room isn’t so entrenched that a depth player can’t earn snaps if he proves functional as a receiver. In dynasty, paying a small price for a 22-year-old TE attached to a stable organization is a reasonable upside stash.
THE CASE FOR HENRY
Hunter Henry is the clear TE1 on the Patriots right now and the only one of the two with bankable weekly route volume and red-zone usage. His profile is exactly what contenders need: startable TE production without paying elite-TE prices, and the 11.1% value premium is modest for that certainty. Even at 31.7, his role-based scoring can hold as long as he remains healthy and the offense keeps him as a primary short-area option.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Hunter Henry for the higher-probability startable points at a small value gap.
Take Eli Raridon as the cheaper age-based stash and reallocate the saved value elsewhere.
It’s close on paper, but the gap is mostly “certainty vs. optionality,” so choose Henry if you need points and Raridon if you’re swinging for value growth.
