Week 1 this year he had over 15 points without a TD, so you guessed wrong.

Yes, I immediately edited it once I checked (as you can see above). Also, if you have the desire to check for yourself, you'll see that in his career when he doesn't score a TD he is essentially always sub 10. Sorry but for an RB1 that makes him TD or bust. Guys like Kamara, CMC, Zeke (pre Dak injury), Cook, etc. can still have very productive weeks without finding the endzone.

Right, but I'd take the under on 100 rushing yards against the Colts. That means he likely needs a TD tonight for it to be a good fantasy performance. 

 

Mission Accepted

[THE_MAGIC_MAN 726]

Henry gotta run over Bucker & Leonard tonight. my prediction is 15 totes 45 yards 4 targets 3 receptions for 25 yards, TD.

What’s your point? All those guys were drafted ahead of Henry in any type of PPR format for precisely that reason.

Good thing he’s a 16 TDs per season kind of guy

[cbsholy 661]

24 carries, 106 yards, 2 TDs

2 rec, 13 yards 

Source: I'm against him.

But in all reality, the Colts are a great D, especially with a healthy Darius Leonard. And they will probably stack it a bit to slow him down as much as they can. But Tannehill being competent and having some good options in the passing game that demand actual respect (Brown, Jonnu, sometimes Davis/Humphries) helps so defenses can't solely key in in stopping the run.  I just think it takes one run for Henry to make his money.

I didn't just pull this out of thin air. A poster said we'll probably need a TD from him since Indy has a pretty stout run D and I simply responded by saying we need a TD every week from him in order for him to be productive from a fantasy perspective. Just highlighting that that isn't specific to this week. Not sure why you took THAT much issue with a fact.

Henry is the must unimpressive first round back. TD dependent, usually plodding along for no yards, not shifty, not elusive, straight running style. 

He either gets lucky with a gigantic hole he can run vertically to the house, or a 2-3 yard touchdown that he just jumps over the pile. 

He produces, but it's ugly as all hell. 

[kmoore1521 1,451]

Pit - Cincy - CHI - IND(tonights game) - BAL - IND is the current stretch he is on schedule wise recently, brutal besides cincy

 

weeks 13 and on is what this Henry owner is waiting on, wouldn't shock me to see a meh game or two these next 3 games, I'm sure one of the 3 he will pop

He affects the game so much he is being mentioned for MVP. Averaging 100 yards rushing and a TD per game. That's impressive for an unimpressive guy.

You in a room with everyone legitimately mentioning him for MVP:

Wasn't me that wrote that article. It's 3 weeks old but it has been floated, Henry has been asked about it on national television during an interview so it is disingenuous to make it seem as though i just made it up or am alone in the idea. 

 

Vegas odds have Henry in the top 10 in betting odds for MVP.

 

Case in point he changes the game when he is on the field. That's what MVPs do. Yes, you can stack the box and make Henry look like a plodder but you will suffer by making Tannehill look like an MVP candidate. 

 

I actually don't think he wins MVP, it is the year of Kyler Murray/Russell Wilson but it has been mentioned.

This is why I questioned starting Derrick Henry in this game, especially for PPR, if you had safer options. People called me crazy though 

His output, outside the Houston game, is not worthy of a first round pick thus far in PPR. Outside the Houston game, his AVG point per game is 15.2 in PPR. Not good enough for where we drafted him in PPR leagues.

He had over 100 yards and got vultured from the goalline twice.  If he gets just one of those TDs, you aren’t in here 2 seconds after the game ends whining.  If he gets both, you’re looking at a top 5 RB on the week.

There are only a handful of “safer” options out there, even in PPR.

 

[Gohawks 10,068]

People on this forum will cry in every thread unless the dude scores a TD and gets 100+ yards.

It’s pathetic.

I bet you can unload him to the Zeke owner? 

[the1gq2nvy 214]

He just hasn't been that productive this yr. Most like blocking issues. His plodding his way majority of time and lack of catches is big downfall to his game.

[0-5 11]

Will never understand why my friends keep calling this guy the best rb in the league dont see it at all.

[ST. STEVEN 4,173]

Most of you folks just don't deserve Henry. Dude got game-scripted out of the 2nd H and still delivered a more than fine game.

RB landscape is so terrible this year, just GTFO here with any complaints.

Aww...cute argument. Feel better? Good, I'm glad. Point still stands....he hasn't been productive enough as a first round pick in PPR.

[DerrickHenrysCleats 5,892]

On pace for 1,800 rushing yards 👀

[TheFire 157]

He’s been very good in standard, solid in .5ppr and a little underwhelming in PPR. The most frustrating part is how often he’s been vultured within the 5 yard line this season. Could’ve easily had 5+ more TDs. I really thought he could get 20+ TDs this year.

Outscored by double by Nyhiem and almost outscored by Dont’a. 
 

[the1gq2nvy 214]

Just be ready for similar production next few weeks with tough defenses. Even those supposedly gravy playoff schedule I would not homerun them base on henry's jags performance earlier this yr. I don't get why they don't use him at all pass catching. Last yr he showed promise there and lately he barely catches at all.

Cute argument? It’s a fact.

 

What’s cute is you coming in here as soon as the game ends, thinking anyone cares about your whining that Henry didn’t put up a monster game against one of the best run defenses in the league. If you wanna bench him, bench him. But don’t blame the people in this forum.

 

On most days he gets at least one TD with the opportunities they had. Tonight it didn’t happen. Deal with it. He still didn’t give his owners a complete dud.
