Since then, Henry has been fed robustly (24 touches a game) but hasn't erupted (18, 22, and 16 points). Those are solid totals, sure, but they wouldn't be helpful in a Showdown

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Henry's recent 18-22 point outputs don't justify Captain chalk despite 24 touches per game.

Henry will dominate Showdown rosters and many will Captain him, but his recent production doesn't justify the chalk. He posted 38 DraftKings points in Week 1, but has been fed robustly at 24 touches per game since then while posting only 18, 22, and 16 points—solid totals that won't help in a Showdown where he's rostered by half or more of the field. Even if he tops 24 touches with 130 yards and multiple touchdowns, that may not justify him given the massive exposure.
