Starting to look at rankings. There's a few guys I just don't understand their ranking, and maybe someone here can help me:
Derrick Henry: yes I know he's a beast, yes I know he's doing things any other RB not named Adrian Peterson are doing.. but father time is undefeated. He's on Baltimore now, who is trying to win a SB NOW. Are they really going to risk this big acquisition by running him into the ground in week 6 against Washington? I feel like they got Henry more so for later in the season when they need him. I have no basis for that, but I will just find it odd if Lamar Jackson (of all QBs) is handing it off to 30 year old Henry over and over again in October.
Jefferson: no QB. I know his splits last year with and without Kirk weren't that different.. but we're talking your 1st round pick. You want to trust my guy Sam Darnold throwing to him, or JJ Mccarthy? Plus he was injured last season. Plus that division only got better (maybe more offensively better, but still). Minnesota plays the Giants to open the season. So that's a win. But their next 6 games are: San Fran, NYJ, Detroit, Green Bay, LA Rams, Texans.. what if they go 2-4? What if it's worse? You don't want your #1 pick to be on his SECOND year in a row of a team that's not competing. There's already talk of him wanting out, but that likely won't happen until next year.. so not a guy I want.
