Numbers Show Fatigue May Hit Derrick Henry in AFC Title Game

Numbers Show Fatigue May Hit Derrick Henry in AFC Title Game

RJ Bell and the Straight Outta Vegas crew show how Derrick Henry's recent workload is trending towards fatigue setting in at the worst possible time. The guys dive in to the numbers and look at recent running backs who had a substantial amount of carries in multiple consecutive road games and show how this weekend's Conference Championship Game is the exact time in which Henry's numbers should begin to dip in productivity. While Henry has been stellar since Week 17 of the regular season and riding the hot hand appears tempting, RJ believes that this coming game, coupled with the greater potential need to emphasize the passing game against the explosive Kansas City Chiefs, will be a game in which Henry will struggle to reach his total carries and rushing yard prop bets.
