STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Henry downgraded to RB2 with volume concerns and tough defense.

Henry is RB13 in fantasy points per game overall, but since Week 4 without Lamar Jackson, he has been RB28 in fantasy points per game, averaging 19.8 touches and 73.6 total yards. Among 42 qualifying backs, he ranks 18th in explosive run rate and 17th in yards after contact per attempt. The source projects him as 'a volume-based RB2 with a horrible matchup this week' against Jacksonville, which has allowed the third-lowest explosive run rate, lowest rushing success rate, and third-lowest missed tackle rate over the last five games.
