Three adrift to start the day at East Lake Country Club in Atlanta, Georgia, Fleetwood nabbed four birdies in six holes on the back nine and bounced back from a bogey at 16 with back-to-back birdies for a 13-under par total of 127.
Henley, who led by two after the first round, closed with back-to-back birdies in a four-under 66 to claim his share of the lead.
The top duo were two strokes clear of Cameron Young, who charged up the leaderboard with an eight-under 62 that saw Young make six of his nine birdies on the back nine.
Scotland's Robert MacIntyre and Patrick Cantlay shared fourth on IO-under and world number one Scottie Scheffler was alone in sixth on eight-under.
MacIntyre and Cantlay both shot 66--Cantlay rebounding after a bogey-bogey start to pick up four strokes in his last three holes thanks to birdies at 16 and 17 and an eagle at 18.
