Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
5,152
Range 4,598–5,470
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a RB.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer
Fade riskHenry ran for 534 yards and caught 9 passes in 2026, ranking RB4 through 6 games. He's 33 now, old enough that decline risk is real. The 2026 projection still has him in every-week starter range. Age makes this a fade risk in dynasty — win-now value only, don't pay a long-term price.
