One the source has fully stopped betting against Henry, declaring him a lock for RB1-caliber production until he decides to retire. Since 2018, in every season he's played at least 15 games, he's delivered at least 215 carries, 1,590 rushing yards, and 12 total touchdowns. Last year he ranked 16th in yards after contact per attempt and seventh in explosive run rate among 49 qualifying running backs, showing no real decline. His touchdown total dipped somewhat below usual pace, leaving room for positive regression; a new offensive coordinator with ties to a respected coaching tree raises the question of whether he could see more receiving work, which would move his ceiling from reliable low-end RB1 into genuine top-five territory.
