STACKED’s take
Henry's two-week slump shows concerning efficiency and tackle-avoidance metrics at age 33.
Derrick Henry has struggled the past two weeks, scoring just 5.0 and 5.9 PPR fantasy points in Weeks 6 and 7, finishing as RB40 and RB46 respectively. While context matters—Cleveland and Cincinnati have been stout run defenses, and Lamar Jackson's absence removes his mobility advantage—there are concerning underlying signs. Henry has been under 4.0 yards per carry in four of his last five games and sits at 3.94 yards per tote for the season. He's averaging only 0.11 missed tackles forced per attempt (70th among RBs) and has been stuffed 31 times, the most among all running backs. The source asks: 'Is Henry finally slowing down?' and notes that if he can't rebound against Buffalo (abysmal at stopping the run) with Jackson expected back, 'it might finally be time to panic about the all-time great.'
