Henry dominates Week 1 with 160 yards, 3 TDs; on pace for historic 32-year-old PPG record

Henry delivered a historically dominant Week 1 performance with 160 total yards, 3 touchdowns, and 25 touches for 35+ fantasy points. At age 32, he's on pace to set the NFL record for most fantasy points per game by a 32-year-old running back, surpassing Ricky Williams' 15+ PPG average with the Dolphins; he could also break Walter Payton's 1347 rushing yards record from 1986. Unlike some seasons when Henry starts slow, he looked awesome out of the gate and is already moving up the charts in touchdown scoring.
