Derrick Henry Value in picks [poll]

[lukkynumber13]

What is Henry's value if/when he gets the starting gig all to himself. Let's assume in that scenario DeMarco is gone and little competition behind him besides the usual depth. Not necessarily anybody that cuts into carries too much or a committee of any sort.

I think most everyone is operating under this assumption to begin with

Well yes, technically. Although, if and when that happens, his value will likely either hold or decrease. He will have to be a superstar for his value to INCREASE much at all.

Right now his value is insulated because he's playing pretty well but not getting the full workload so people want to extrapolate his stats over a 300+ touch season. If and when he gets the full starting gig, he faces the risk of showing the world that he's possibly not a world-class elite RB. What if he's just good, solid, helpful, but not elite? What if he's a faster Blount? Then he's definitely no longer worth the 1.02, trust me.

A faster Blount at 24 years old without the head case issues would not be a bad thing...

I just traded Henry away for the 1.4 or 1.5 and Dixon.

We'll see if it works out for me in the long run.
