-OZ- 8,319 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 2 hours ago, travdogg said: Career carries aren't always the issue. If the Titans make deep, Henry could top 850 touches in 2 seasons. That kind of workload is a ton for anyone. Larry Johnson had very few career carries before 2 pretty big years, and was never the same. Jamal Lewis and Ricky Williams both burned out from heavy use, despite being young. The problem with the tomlinson example, is that this was Henry's 5th season. Tomlinson already had 5 straight 300 carry seasons by this point and only had 2 good years after it, albeit 1 was his best. I like Henry a ton, but I think it's more likely he peaked this season, and it's all downhill from here. Doesn't mean he'll suddenly suck, but I don't think it's a bad idea to sell this off-season if you can afford to. At least in my leagues, any one you want to trade him to will put an emphasis on the downside. Sure, if someone offers you 4 firsts or something out of the blue you have to consider it. But trying to sell would be really tough imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ricky was a phenomenal talent, but his heart was never fully into football. Interesting guy. I’d recommend diving into his life a little bit when you have the time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Frankman 3,371 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Quote Derrick Henry rushed 18 times for 40 yards and added three receptions for 11 yards in the Titans' Wild Card loss to the Ravens. The Ravens were simply ready for Tennessee's gameplan and took full advantage of their inability to pivot to a pass-heavy approach. Henry was taken down for a loss multiple times and his longest carry of the day was eight yards. Henry will still leave the 2020 season with his second consecutive rushing crown. He became the eighth player to top 2,000 rushing yards in a season. However, he'll likely remember the playoff loss more than individual accolades. Henry should enter the 2021 season as a top-five fantasy running back and likely deserves to be selected in the first half of the opening round of fantasy drafts. - Rotoworld Quote Link to post Share on other sites
az_prof 512 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) An injury can derail anyone's career no matter how great, but so far, he has proven to be resilient to injuries and contrary to the claim that his style makes him jury prone, he actually is very adept at avoiding dangerous hits. He tends to deal more damage than he suffers and he also uses stiff arms to avoid hard hits. It would be foolhardy to expect another 2000 yard season although that is definitely possible. But I fully expect him to be in the 1000-1300 range for at least three to four more seasons and to continue scoring in double digits.

ffmail4me 914 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I'm in a SF PPR startup and he's still on the board and we're at the 2.12 pick. I think work load and age are a legit concern if you are building a new team.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faust 5,618 Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Quote Derrick Henry has been named the Associated Press' Offensive Player of the Year. Offensive Player of the Year is frequently won by quarterbacks, though it is often used a back-door acknowledgment of special seasons by non-signal callers. Henry certainly had one of those in 2020, rushing for the fifth most yards in NFL history with 2,027. This, in the first year of a deal that was hotly debated. You may have heard that paying running backs has gone out of style. It's not usually the best allocation of resources, but Henry creates panic in opposing defenses the way few runners do. He frees up so much space for Ryan Tannehill to execute the Titans' play-action attack. Headed into his age-27 campaign, Henry is on a Hall-of-Fame trajectory.
