Quick thread I don't trust Derrick Henry
And it has NOTHING to do with his passing game usage.
Let's take a deeper dive into his rushing numbers!
Let's first take a look at his game logs.
In 5 games in 2019 Henry accumulated 810 yards for 52% of his total 1540 yards.
If we also include his week 4 game of a 100 yards, that number jumps to 910 yards for 60% of his rush yards in 6 games.

In 2019 Henry had 294.6 fantasy points in PPR. In the 5 game sample I alluded to earlier he also scored 10 of his season total of 18 TD's
So over those 5 games he scored about 48% of his total fantasy points in 5 games.

Let's go back to 2017 now.
Henry had 332 rushing yards in 3 games of his season total of 774. So 44.6% of his rush totals came in only 3 games!
I'm seeing a trend here!

I didn't even factor in his receiving yardage he accumulated during those big blowup weeks either which would only increase his numbers in his favour when looking at % of fantasy points!
Look, I really like Derrick Henry. Dude is a monster and a blast to watch, but that inconsistency week to week as I've pointed out over his last 3 seasons is extremely concerning
Many pointed to Henry's contract situation as a reason to not invest in him.
For me, those numbers I pointed out in this thread is what makes Henry extremely unreliable week to week and why I don't trust him regardless of his contract.
Thank you!
