kmoore1521 1,451 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 If you were in PPR and took Henry over Cook/Kamara thats on you, whine in the shower or something for that personal mistake Other than that if you drafted Henry regardless of format then WTF is anyone even complaining about hah enjoy the playoff schedule to echo many others 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kyoun1e 1,050 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Don't get the complaints. The guy isn't running for 100+ and two TDs every game. With the matchup last night, I lowered my own expectations. I felt like it wasn't unreasonable for Henry to possibly land 80ish yards and no TDs. Henry actually outperformed my expectations with 11 PPR points. In addition, he was running through that Colts run D and if it wasn't for the stupid game script (which was submarined by TN's idiotic special teams play) he would have got WAY more run 2nd half. Also, minus two fluky plays on the goal line Henry was "this close" to having a huge game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s just weird that you focused on calling that out rather than the other, more pertinent points in his post. I swear, people just love to hate on this guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His entire post was based on the performance vs expectations. This thread is always polarizing based on the fact that according to some, DH can do no wrong/never should get the blame/and is in MVP consideration. All of those need to be called out accordingly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nap Time 1,033 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Lose Conklin and Lewan, go up against a great defense ... still over 5 ypc? I'm impressed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I swear most people expect their #1 draft pick to score 30+ each week and to "carry them." Guarantee you these same owners of Henry have no clue how to build a winning roster that fills any slight "gap" in Henry's performance. Every single player has volatility in performance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not hard to defend him when he’s a Top 5 RB. People are complaining bc he’s not top 2, but he wasn’t drafted at that price. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure only one person mentioned him in the MVP race, and “Derrick Henry” is literally in his user name. I’m defending him after this performance because literally 2 minutes after the game was over, people were in here complaining and saying he’s not an RB1, saying he’s not Cook, Kamara, etc. I don’t think anyone is saying he’s THE RB1 (especially not in PPR formats), although he’s still in the conversation moving forward considering the schedule lines up, and we’ve seen him explode at the end of seasons before. I’d still take Kamara and Cook moving forward in any PPR format, in standard, it’s close. The two of them have obviously had a leg up to this point, but that shouldn’t be a knock on Henry, considering their ADPs were higher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GarrettHasTheClap 183 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I'm just scrolling through waiting for the punchline but this actually looks forreal 🤔 Guess you should have drafted Hines. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well I guess we can agree that the problem is their expectations. “Top 2”, “sky-high”... however you want to quantify it. Bottom line is he’s still a Top 5 RB on the season.

Fried Pork Grind 524 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 In my lifetime there are only two RBs that I think players are terrified to see in 1/1 open space. Barry Sanders because he will make you catch air and this guy because he will make you eat grass. Those two make all the other HOF RBs look like JAGs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
