STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Henry's age and carry load are offset by elite rushing production and durability.

Henry is undervalued in Round 2 (ADP 20) despite age and carry concerns; he's the active carries leader by a wide margin and will turn 33 next January, and isn't a factor in the passing game (one season in a decade with over 30 receptions). However, Father Time pays him protection money: last year he was second in the NFL with 1,595 rushing yards, averaged over five yards per carry for the second straight season, scored 16 times on the ground for the second straight season, and tied for the AFC lead in runs of 40 yards or more.
