Davis Mattek on Derrick Henry

Goal-line struggles and loaded-box concerns limit upside vs. Josh Allen

Mattek expresses significant concerns about Derrick Henry's Week 8 usage and goal-line efficiency against Josh Allen's defense: cannot run him 32 times; at the goal line he 'hasn't been it' and keeps getting stuffed in loaded boxes; he needs 5-6-8 yards to get cooking and is better with a head of steam rather than in short-yardage situations where his short-area agility is not an asset. While Lamar Jackson's return might help Henry by providing better offensive line execution and goal-line opportunities, Mattek did not manually adjust Henry upward in his DFS model.
