But Henry’s contract is done after this season.It would make sense for this rebuilding team, if the Titans can get meaningful value. We wouldn’t be shocked to see the veteran moved before this season’s trade deadline. That came amid an offseason with swirling Henry trade rumors. The Titans drafted RB Tyjae Spears in Round 3.He leads all RBs in yards per reception over the past two years (10.8).The only two players with more catches – WR Robert Woods and TE Austin Hooper – are now gone. His 33 receptions tied for third among Titans in 2022. Henry also topped two receptions per game for the second straight year, after never going above 1.2 per game previously.And according to NFL Next Gen Stats, only Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier saw 8+ defenders in the box on a higher percentage of his runs than Henry did last year.(That falls short of his rates of higher than 1.0 each of the previous two years, however.) His rushing yards over expected per attempt rebounded from 0.05 in 2021 to 0.45 last season. His yards after contact per attempt, elusive rating, and Pro Football Focus rushing grade all increased vs. Henry’s advanced stats showed no 2022 drop-off, despite playing in a weak offense.Last year’s 96.1 yards per game trailed Josh Jacobs’ league lead by just 1.1 and led No.After leading the league with 102.7 yards per game in 2019, Henry racked up 126.7 per game in 2020 and then 117.1 before suffering his broken foot in 2021.That plus a merely human 4.4 yards per carry produced a significant decrease in rushing yards per game.His 21.8 carries per game in 2022 did mark a decline from his absurd levels the previous two years: 23.6 in 2020 and 27.4 in 2021.He averaged 20.2 carries per game or more in each of those seasons. Henry led the league in carries for the third time in four years. So there’s considerably less opportunity cost to taking the big guy. If he were still going in the first round of fantasy drafts, then it might be worth fading him.īut he’s now more likely to linger into Round 3 than he is to appear in Round 1.
