The model projects Derrick Henry to garner 16.7 carries in this week’s game, on average, placing him in the 92nd percentile among running backs.
Out of all running backs, Derrick Henry grades out in the 98th percentile for rush attempts this year, taking on 71.6% of the workload in his team’s run game.
Cons
