Havent watched a ton of Henry, but hes shown some good cuts in the hole, obviously some good strength, but also some solid patience to let these holes develop. But thats what you’ll get with a big downhill runner like him

I have a prop that is around 70-1 for Henry most rushing TDs. Figured he might do ok and even in a split backfield get the goal line bunnies to add up. After this 4 td performance, I still doubt he is even top 10. Either way, gotta be far behind the likes of Gurley.

Honestly - if people go running to buy him after this, they only have themselves to blame for the disappointment.

He's currently tied for 4th overall in Rushing TDs now with 9. Gurley has 15 though.

I dont think I even need to say it, but.... "so you're telling me there's a chance"?! Only two more 2+ td games, Gurley sits week 17 while Tennesse battles for a playoff spot and Henry gets another 4 score game.

His last five games prior to this:

44 carries, 201 yards, 4.5 YPC, 4 TD's

Obviously this one is going to inflate his production big time, but he was playing well before this. But, Tennessee just hasn't given him the volume to really get going and he's a zero in the passing game. It'd be interesting to see Tennessee actually commit to using him instead of pretending that Dion Lewis is a workhorse.

For the 3% of owners who started Henry this week, congrats.

Looking at the league scoreboards across my 6 leagues, there was no one who has him in their starting lineup. I was just checking because I figured my first round opponents would all be starting Henry.

How many teams are going to be looking at a playoff loss that would have been a win if only they chose him instead of their Justin Jackson or Doug Martin.

5th seed in my league lost Sanders and Hunt and chose to start White, Barber and Jeff Wilson as flex over Henry. He is probably losing because of that.
