Where does D Henry fit with these rookie RBs?

Where would you rank Henry among these RBs? I could see the case for LF, CMC, Mixon ahead of him, but am having a hard time deciding between Henry and Cook.

IMO
1/2: Fournette/CMac (really depends on the owner...some like PPR upside and are staying away from Jax OL)
3: Mixon
4. Henry? i think herny even in a split with demarco (70-30) will put up reasonable flex numbers...


5. cook.

im fairly low on Cook, but more so the lack of QB and OL that Cook would need to get any legit room to run, oh and Latavius.

I have him 5th after the top 4. If you're not a fan of Cook's landing spot, the same could have been said a year ago (and still today) of Henry. Cook should have much more opportunities and I think Minnesota continues to improve that Oline by next year.

I think he's right in there with the top 2-4. I'd definitely take LF over him, but it'd be 50/50 with the others.

I would take him over anyone in this draft except for Fournette and Davis

I would say around 5th overall ,just because he's still 2nd fiddle.

Fournette, McCaffrey, and Mixon ahead of him for me. Toss-up with Cook but I would probably lean Henry.

I think Cook is a much more talented running back than Henry. Henry has a better QB & O-line, Cook has the much better defense to ride. Both 2nd round picks. I'll take the guy who's the projected starter over the guy sitting.

Henry is 5th for me, after LF/Mixon/CM/Cook

This is about where I stand as well. Henry could potentially be two years away from getting the starting job, whereas the top 4 RBs this year are the best RBs on their respective teams right now.

The only bad thing anyone can say about Henry is that he doesn't have opportunity right now. Aside from that, he looked like a three-down back last season. He was good in pass protection, a better receiver than anyone thought, his speed translated and his lateral agility was much better than expected. Henry is a DeMarco Murray injury away from running away with the job and becoming a top-tier RB.

The only RB in this class I would take over Henry is Fournette. You can make a strong case for C-Mac if you have a league that rewards return yardage.
