Should You Start or Sit Henry in Week 12?
The final stat line for Derrick Henry looked the part (20 touches for 122 yards and a touchdown in Cleveland), but that may have been the most deceiving stat line of the week.
Henry failed to gain yardage on one-third of his targets and ran for -1 yard on his three carries inside the five-yard line.
He did cash in one of those goal line carries and ripped off a 59-yard gain in the third quarter, however, and that got the counting numbers to where they needed to be. This is both the blessing and the curse that comes with rostering Henry.
Thanks to the scoreboard, Henry was involved for four quarters, and as long as that happens, I’ll take my chances with him and go to battle. I like how this game project,s and considering that Henry gained yardage on at least 80% of his carries in each of the three games prior, that gives him top 5 potential at the position.
This is a loaded main slate for DFS purposes, and that’s going to suppress the ownership around all of the star backs. I expect Henry to be a strong leverage play with many not hesitating to pay up a bit to get access to more versatile profile,s and a low-owned King as a big favorite is what dreams are made of.
