STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Article claims Henry had 322 touches in 2025 with YPC of 3.93, suggesting regression. Community corrected: Henry actually had 307 carries for 1,595 yards (5.2 YPC) in 2025, down from 5.9 YPC in 2024 but still elite for a 31-year-old. Article's data error undermines regression thesis for Henry. Community split: some fade him due to age (31) and historical decline patterns; others note he's defying odds and is a HOF-level talent. 2019 (409 touches) followed by 2020 (even better) cited as counter-example to regression rule. Some willing to take him in 2nd round at discount; others see him as overcoming the Curse of 370.
