From the video
Dererick Henry was fine, but he wasn't a great pick... Derrick Henry turns 33 in January. Two, the coaching staff is different. Three, their offensive line actually gets a little bit worse year-over-year... week 17 he goes absolutely nuclear, but that was a game in which you had the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers out and you had Lamar Jackson out... if we remove that singular week, Dererick Henry averaged 14.8 fantasy points per game and was the running back 16
STACKED’s take
Age 33, different coaching staff, declining O-line; RB16 without week 17 fluke; platform-dependent value.
Henry presents multiple concerns at his current ADP of pick 21 (Flock Fantasy consensus), with varying platform costs (2-3 turn in Sleeper, middle of round 2 on Underdog/CBS). He turns 33 in January, the Ravens' coaching staff is different, and their offensive line declines year-over-year. Most critically, his week 17 performance (when he scored heavily) came against backup quarterbacks (Tyler Huntley and Malik Willis with Lamar Jackson out) and is not predictive. Removing week 17, Henry averaged 14.8 fantasy points per game and was RB16. In non-PPR formats he's a mid-to-early round 1 pick, but in full PPR the source targets him at the end of round 2 after selecting a top WR like Jamar Chase, Puka Nacua, or Jackson Smith-Njigba (picks 103-105), reflecting his air-game limitations—he scores exclusively on the ground, making PPR formats less favorable. The source views him as either a reach or appropriately valued depending on platform and league format.
