Haha thanks brother. I hope he leads you to the moneyI have Henry on some pretty important teams that stand to win a ton of money this week... so.........????
'Cause I believed early on, powered through the crap games, and other players kept me alive... not he's the X Factor, so please!
Obv all in good fun, but damn I hope he crushes it this week and you guys dominate.
Most yards for the Titans/Oilers over two games.
Love him but 6 in the last 2 games, 5 in 8 others. Both prorate well but one prorates a heckuva lot better. Really he scored 8 in 3 games but you have to figure a couple multi-TD games would be the norm.
I did but I'd say at most, half his owners started him last week. Now, everyone will start him and he will disappoint. That's my prediction based on nothing other than trying to predict the ebb and flow of the universe pertaining to FF.
that's kind of silly, takes away from their ranking system IMO, two great games shouldn't leap frog you
I definitely think it's too high. Hunt, Saquan, Gurley, Gordon....several come to mind before him for the season.
It appears Vrabel has had them just man up some plays and block like the beasts they are. Skip the fancy stuff and just go be beasts. This has brought back the look of them being a top line in 2016. Lewan is having some incredible games and Spain (next to him) is probably having some of the best games as a G too. The regularity with which they are in the second level and even getting back to the runner is wow. Lewis had a few huge holes the last couple weeks. Ya know how he has that ability to scoot and dash by a defender? He just went straight ahead and after so many tough carries this year, he almost looked confused in a too good to be true manner.
Mariota only has a couple special weeks too. He has way too many games with under 200 yards.
I have to pick two of Henry/David Johnson/Barkley and I think DJ is on the outside looking in this week.
throw the names away and just look at the stats. DJ is definitely 3rd on that list imo.

He was not being underutlized or misused in the least, he was getting the amount of carries his performance dictated. Acting as if he was underused before he earned more work is no different then asking pro bowl voters to also ignore all but the last two weeks of the season.
No he was absolutely being poorly utilized by the coaching staff, maybe one of the worst examples that I have seen in recent years at the pro level. They have a 245 lb wrecking ball with home run speed, yet kept him under glass until the season was almost lost. He didn't earn more work, the coaching staff was just bad at their job. It happens. They learned and now everyone can see what was obvious to many in this thread all along. Just let the big guy eat and good things will happen.
I originally pushed Fournette down to flex and put Henry in my RB2 spot. Then I benched Fournette for Samuels in the flex. I’m a Jags fan, but there’s just so much uncertainty, it’s tough to start him in a championship. If the o-line wasn’t patchwork, or if they were playing with any fire, I’d feel differently, but I feel the floor is too low and the bust potential is too high.
I am not starting Henry in my Championship game this weekend. It hurts not to, but we can only start 2 RBs and I am starting D Cook & Mixon. I have thought all week, and I keep coming up with Cook & Mixon over Henry. Wish I could start 3 RBs, but those are our rules.
Circumstances are forcing me to start Henry (and Chubb) over Gurley. It’s killing me that it has come to this but my 4th option (Ingram) has too much downside risk to pass on starting Henry.
