From the article

Henry was awesome in Week 1. However, he's a 32 year old running back that historically has not caught passes. Meanwhile, the best running back in our current generation is just $300 more and is coming off of a bad performance half way across the world in Australia. By taking Henry over McCaffrey it is a significant overreaction.

STACKED’s take

Henry's Week 1 success is an overreaction; McCaffrey is better value at $300 more.

Derrick Henry was awesome in Week 1, but at 32 years old and with a historical lack of pass-catching ability, Devin Knotts views him as an overreaction play in Week 2. Despite Henry's strong Week 1 performance, Knotts argues that Christian McCaffrey at only $300 more is the superior play, as San Francisco is a 13.5-point favorite against one of the league's worst defenses. Knotts explicitly states: "By taking Henry over McCaffrey it is a significant overreaction."
