Henry is rostered in 100% of leagues, so benching him requires a real alternative, not vibes about a lockdown front. A 39.5 total with Baltimore down double digits is genuinely ugly for game script, since trailing teams stop feeding the back. Still, Henry's touch floor is his security blanket and he's shown he doesn't need volume to hit paydirt. If you have a smash spot on your bench, it's a fair pivot. Otherwise you ride with the guy who got you here.
