Verdict history

Week	Verdict	Reason
2026 Week 3	Toss-Up· medium	84% snaps and a 15% target share keep Henry usable, but TE18 with a top-10 toughest DvP draw and a 22.0 implied total is a coin flip.
2026 Week 1	Toss-Up· medium	18% target share keeps Henry involved, but a 20.5 implied total vs Seattle caps him at the TE18 line — a matchup-based dart, not a set-and-forget play.
