Derrick Henry fantasy analysis with four factors

Derrick Henry Fantasy Fantasy Football Four Factors

Very few players have a stronger resume (or pedigree score) than Derrick Henry. This guy has done it and has done it for a long time. His past performance has earned him a 8.5/10 pedigree score. This means that we know this guy has the ability to produce at an elite level and ending up RB1 isn’t out of the question.

This also leads to Derrick Henry getting a 9/10 ranking in the consensus score. Experts love him and, if you’ve ever watched him play, so should you. 

While Derrick Henry’s pedigree and consensus scores are elite, his other two numbers should cause some concern. FIrst, Derrick Henry is only about league average in consistency. He has been hurt recently and seen limited time because of that. Moreover, because of his lack of work in the passing game, he can get a bit touchdown/big-play dependent.

More concerning is his 1.5/10 trend score. Derrick Henry is in the bottom 15% of the top 150 players when it comes to how his performance has trended in recent games. Most of this is his decreased performance from 2021 to 2022 – his 2022 numbers were his lowest since 2018 when he solidly took over the starting job. 

Derrick Henry Stats Analysis

Derrick Henry has elite performance-based metrics with a 9 and 8.5/10 in consensus and pedigree rankings, respectively. HIs complementary stats – trend and consistency – paint a scarier picture though with Derrick Henry’s performance trending back down towards human numbers. 

Overall, Derrick Henry slots as a high risk, high reward player. He could be the RB1. Last year he showed flashes of more passing work tallying the most catches in his career. But age and reps will catch up to this power runner eventually.
