Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 5354623, member: 1414"] Not for just fantasy purposes really, but Henderson is a 3rd down back. That's what he was drafted to become. Change of pace as a rusher, explosive as a receiver, the kind of guy who can get 100 yards and a TD on 12 touches, because he goes 65 on a screen. I think Pats fans and some fantasy folks were delusional if they expected him to become a bell cow. He wasn't at Ohio State, Judkins was and if not for his off field issues he was clearly the better RB as a ball carrier. New England wasn't looking for that, they were looking for a James White with even more explosiveness to fit Josh's scheme. Unfortunately, Henderson was supposedly a great pass blocker and instead he's been the worst blocking RB in the NFL. So he hasn't been able to fill that role. If he was the pass blocker they expected, he'd be grabbing 5-6 passes a game to go with 6-7 carries. Fantasy star was always a reach. [/QUOTE]
