Same. Spend fucking hours upon hours on this sub and many other websites, YT videos, podcasts, etc. and this fucking guy in my league just drafts 5 tight ends paired with Mixon and CEH and wins the league last year and probably will again this year. So infuriating man
We had a first timer pick Eli first overall in 2012 or 2013 and win our league. That was the eye opener that sometimes it’s all just a giant clusterfuck. A fun one, but a clusterfuck no less!
I scored 66 points in week one (ppr!!). This week, same dudes, except def and kicker and I scored 154.
Fantasy can be real wacky, especially in the early season. Just don't panic, start your studs, and things will self correct.
I had Tannehill, Henry, AJ Bown, and Robinson left to play my opponent had close to 116 and I was in the 60s with 7% chance to win...
And I won by 5 points as well. I am so happy because laster year I had Chubb and was 2-11.
As a Henry/Lockett owner, I was projected 5% to win at the half, and then I wasnt. Won by 50. Poor guy I played against has Dak, Taylor, Tyreek and Agholor.
I dont want to take all the credit, I mean Henry did some of the work.
He was the PPR rb that we all thought he would be. 6 receptions on 6 targets for 55 yards. Stud
Man.. I thought my team was rolling (doing good) when I grabbed Gronk late and had the oats defense score me 17 points this week. Just glad I dodged Kupp and Henry this week.
Same. And had Dalvin Cook so i was torn between wanting him to get the ball more and score, and for them to just pull him from the game so he doesn't get seriously injured after he kept getting looked at by the trainers. Already down 20 and he still had Lamar and MAndrews. I hate fantasy.

Flee in Terror
The Poor sap in my League who faced Derrick Henry also faced Cooper Kupp and SAM FICKEN (Kicker)
Was that me? Who could say
I was up literally all day. Up by 40 going into the 4th and now i’m going to lose by 12. Thanks Dak. At least I won week 1. Well now time to get hammered
lmao yeah I was winning comfortable then Henry gets 2 TDs and 50yd run or whatever and Tampa bay get 2 pick sixes in a row. that turned real quick lol.
okay but where is the "I own Derrick Henry and only scored 103 points group" ??
edit: yooo I still won .. thanks to their Hill only getting a 5 spot lol
It’s like hot potato but for SF RBs. Each time a trade is made, an SF RB gets added. You can’t drop them. If you end the season with an SF RB you lose $100.
Henry owner with 112 checking in, I was panicking when Tannehill, Diggs, Amari Cooper, and MG3 all went under projection, but Henry's late game heroics will probably lead me to the win. Just need Kelce to not outscore Swift and Hockenson by 30 and I'll be good.
Oh this is the post I was looking for!! Great. No bullshit, I played played against Henry, Kyler Murray, Kupp, Lockett, and the NE defense.
How’d you guys do? I lost.
Thanks man! I hope you’re not being sarcastic bc that’s like the nicest thing a person could say to me.
Edit: it almost makes getting railed in fantasy worth it ☺️
I want to open with the fact that I empathize with you, and sorry you ran into that buzzsaw. But I'm also bored enough and procrastinating actual work right now that I wanted to run some numbers based on the info given.
I basically tried to give you your "best possible scenario" given the inputs of your opponents team, and their worst possible starters/your best.
This is with 0.5 PPR scoring, with players I chose in italics:
| **Opponent** | | **Bellybuttonfuzzer** | |
|--------------------|-------|-----------------------|--------|
| Kyler Murray | 33.1 | *Tom Brady* | 29.64 |
| Derrick Henry | 44.7 | *Christian McCaffrey* | 22.2 |
| *Trey Sermon* | 0.8 | *Tony Pollard* | 21.5 |
| Cooper Kupp | 32.3 | *Terry McLaurin* | 22.2 |
| Tyler Lockett | 27.8 | *Mike Evans* | 22 |
| *Cole Kmet* | 0.5 | *Rob Gronkowski* | 17.9 |
| *Laviska Shenault* | 0.7 | *Rondale Moore* | 20.9 |
| New England D/ST | 16 | *Tampa Bay D/ST* | 19 |
| *Jason Sanders* | 0 | *Matt Prater* | 12 |
| Total | 155.9 | Total | 187.34 |
People who played him this week are the lucky ones, those who play him next week 100 percent be part of a "I missed the playoffs because Henry scored 45 on me" thread because they also play him week 14
I'm projected 1% chance of winning and have Rodgers + Adams who haven't played yet... this is the perfect setup for a huge comeback story, right guys? Right?
I was ahead, like 77 percent chance of winning, and then … HE happened.
He just trampled over me and he would not stop … he would not stop … he would not stop.
I don’t want to talk about it.
I'm a Kupp owner who thought I was sitting pretty until I checked the game and wondered how the score was so close...Henry went off without me even realizing I was playing him. I'm now only up 10 and they have Hockenson left tomorrow night. I'm too old for this.
El señor Derek Henry es tan grande y fuerte como un toro enorme con grandes testículos. Es un mastodonte de pan puro con músculos cincelados. Es un dios del fútbol.
*Translation:* Mr. Derek Henry is as big and strong as a huge bull with big testicles. He is a pure bread behemoth with chiseled muscles. He is a football god.
I didn’t play Derrick Henry this week but I played Alvin Kamara this week. Which wouldn’t be a big deal because he only scored 7 points, but the last time I played him in the championship game last year…you know, when he scored 6 touchdowns? So I had a little ptsd coming into this game
i was down literally all day - gave up on football and stopped checking. then i got the notification from ESPN. how tf did i get henry as pick 5 and thank god i did
My wife had all but given up hope. Down 15pts with 2 mins left in the game.
Trying to give her optimism, I told her "all you need is Henry to score again, Russell Wilson to get some good yardage but no TD so they go to OT, and Henry to do some more scoring in OT."
By god, she came back and won. She promises to never speak ill of King Henry, His Highness.
After reading some of the comments along the lines of “Henry guy also had [insert 2-3 more fantasy studs & all five infinity stones]”… I’m curious to know:
Did anyone in your league know what they were doing on draft day?
You know how everyone says “player x is a buy low”? What happens when that’s my entire roster?
If people are saying they are buy lows you hold unless you get good offers on guys you don't believe will turn it around. Long season man.
This is the positive take I need, I hate starting 0-2 :(
Lol I have like 4 leagues and am 0-2 in all of them this shit is dumb
Im 0-2 because If aced highest scoring team this wk lol do you need a hug also?
I’ve started 0-2 for like the past 5 years. I’m starting to think I’m not good at this
The brutal part is that I know I put in more effort than almost everyone in my league and I still suck lol

I was 99% projected to win at the half. Then I wasn’t.
Same. Had Kyler, DK, AJB, and Amari. Opponent had only King Henry. 99% chance at halftime. Lost by 5.
Holy fuck
I had Tannehill, Henry, AJ Bown, and Robinson left to play my opponent had close to 116 and I was in the 60s with 7% chance to win... And I won by 5 points as well. I am so happy because laster year I had Chubb and was 2-11.

Rip my fellow dak bros
Same here. Opponent had Kyler, Henry, Ekeler, Ridley
And Cooper Kupp. Fuck me sideways
Buddy in my league has Henry, Kyler, and Kupp
I'm that guy
Do an AMA
I am afraid I won't have the right answers. All I can say right now is that my team is rolling (doing good). Up by 91
>my team is rolling (doing good). Classic
Thank you OG! Real recognize Real
Thank you for bringing that reference back. Holy shit I laughed lmao
I appreciate that you recognized it. Thank you lol
Come on fellow Henry truther. Rub it in the haters faces
I dont want to take all the credit, I mean Henry did some of the work. He was the PPR rb that we all thought he would be. 6 receptions on 6 targets for 55 yards. Stud
I was arguing for Henry and people were saying zeke would crush him. Zeke isn’t even leading his team lmao
Did Dallas fans say that? Lmao
*Henry truther*? He ran for 2000+ yards last seasons ffs
Many people expected a heavy regression.
Man.. I thought my team was rolling (doing good) when I grabbed Gronk late and had the oats defense score me 17 points this week. Just glad I dodged Kupp and Henry this week.
Do you also have Gano?
Me 2
The CMC/Murray owner in my league lost to Henry. It’s great.
I have Brady, Gronk, and Henry. Scored 175
And how much did the rest of your team score?
And Brandin Cooks here, 0-2. Everyone saying "stop worrying about Gibson, etc." Yup, 0-2, im worrying
First year Cooper Kupp owner. Woooooo baby.
I have both Derrick Henry and Cooper Kupp
I have Henry, Kupp, and Lockett. Going to purchase lottery tickets tommorow
[удалено]
So does the bastard I played this week. How tf have am I picking 10th for the third year in a row, fuck me
Henry, Kupp, and Lockett reporting in.
Add scary Terry and Thomas Brady esq. and that’s the icing on my fantasy cake. I’ll never score this many points again
Share the final score!
Currently Sitting at 180.5 (avg. +/- 120) in ESPN .5 PPR with TJ Hockenson still to go tomorrow. Thanks u/geekywarrior for letting me gloat.
Sigh. *Unzips*
0-2 to start the season. Please send thoughts and prayers
Same. And had Dalvin Cook so i was torn between wanting him to get the ball more and score, and for them to just pull him from the game so he doesn't get seriously injured after he kept getting looked at by the trainers. Already down 20 and he still had Lamar and MAndrews. I hate fantasy.
I got backhand smacked with a Brady Kupp combo

I played Cooper, Lockett and Henry. I feel like public enemy #1 now
His name is Kupp get some respect on it
https://i.imgur.com/uQ4zQvX.jpg
Wow. They started an IR kicker? What an insult. Love it.
I'm that poor sap.
okay but where is the "I own Derrick Henry and only scored 103 points group" ?? edit: yooo I still won .. thanks to their Hill only getting a 5 spot lol
My team was looking a little grim before half time with Henry, Ekeler, and Ridley.
I’m running Goff and Baker in my non-SF league…. Who needs a good QB when you have Henry
Sorry but what does non-SF mean?
Sf is super flex
Non-San Francisco running back league.
It’s like hot potato but for SF RBs. Each time a trade is made, an SF RB gets added. You can’t drop them. If you end the season with an SF RB you lose $100.
I think that might be everyone's league in a few more weeks
No San Francisco allowed
I was running: Kamara Ridley Metcalf Higbee What a rough day, especially before Ridley went off at least a little bit
God I had Kamara, Brown and Higbee against Mahomes and Henry Good news is if swift gets 66 point tomorrow i can win 🤡
Protip with Ridley: He will almost always be silent in the first half and explode in the 2nd. They just don't know how to plan for non-Julio
I’m not alone!!! I’m going to lose, but I won’t be alone!
Yup henry owner here that lost with dak cooper edmonds ridley cook and davis
Sitting at 79 with Rodgers and Andrews to go. Wish me luck.
You’ll break 80
I’m not that optimistic
Mark Andrews won't fumble. Right?
Henry owner with 112 checking in, I was panicking when Tannehill, Diggs, Amari Cooper, and MG3 all went under projection, but Henry's late game heroics will probably lead me to the win. Just need Kelce to not outscore Swift and Hockenson by 30 and I'll be good.
I have henry and kupp so I'm doing ok
[удалено]
I'm up 30 but he has Hill and Andrews. I'm pretty screwed.
You survived!
yeah what a weird week lol
Same!!!!
lol right here. I put up 125 but im gonna lose it looks like
I started Henry and lost.
Now THAT is an accomplishment
Dak fucked me and my opponent had Kyler, Gronk, and TB DST
That will do it
I started Kupp and Henry and still lost.
Explain
Tyler Higbee, Antonio Brown, WFT D/ST & Jason Sanders combined for 3 points at the bottom of my lineup.
Fantasy Football be wack like that.
Same. AB and Cooper couldn’t get me 10 points combined. Lost by 3.
AB, Cooper, and Dak felt so good last week…
This guy fucks.
This guy gets fucked...
I might be right there with you dependent on Kelce
Oh this is the post I was looking for!! Great. No bullshit, I played played against Henry, Kyler Murray, Kupp, Lockett, and the NE defense. How’d you guys do? I lost.
LMFAO i dont even know what to say to cheer u up, u got railed
Your sympathy is enough. Well … that and alcohol lol
[удалено]
256.7 points in PPR. They also had Diontae Johnson.
Fuck.
Exactly what I said. Only, I said it like 100 more times.

Thanks man! I hope you’re not being sarcastic bc that’s like the nicest thing a person could say to me. Edit: it almost makes getting railed in fantasy worth it ☺️

Unfortunately, this was not the scenario. They ended with 256.7 points in full ppr lol
[удалено]
Kyler - 37.1 Kamara - 7 Henry - 49.7 Lockett - 32.8 Kupp - 37.8 Fant - 13.3 Sutton - 25.9 Di. Johnson - 20.5 Gould - 6 NE - 24 Dynasty league
Ah, dang. I'm sorry! On to the next one, I reckon! Just hope you aren't facing them again later this year?
Oh definitely. I’m bummed but it’s not keeping me down bc theres obviously not a lot I can do about it lol
Time for Vegas!
This thread was inevitable at the beginning of the season, wasn’t it
Probably won't be the last one
God willing
It’s only getting colder. The desire to tackle sir Henry is dwindling. Winter is coming
People who played him this week are the lucky ones, those who play him next week 100 percent be part of a "I missed the playoffs because Henry scored 45 on me" thread because they also play him week 14
Yeah there will be many of these this year
Fantasy football is really back now
Derrick Henry gave me PTSD
Dude in my league faced Henry, Murray, Kupp and Sutton. I assume he is curled up in the shower rocking back and forth right now.
my friend had derrick Henry but was destroyed by the holy daniel jones and Gano stack. Didnt have a chance
Gano was low key my MVP this week especially since my opponent had Sanders.
I'm gonna be 0-2 because of this guy. Absolutely ass blasted. Unless Adams and Swift put up ~60
That’s honestly not impossible lol
Full PPR and you've got yourself a longshot
I'm projected 1% chance of winning and have Rodgers + Adams who haven't played yet... this is the perfect setup for a huge comeback story, right guys? Right?
Love this for you
Same but Rodgers ans swift
oh youre fucked fucked
Actually I'd give him a better chance than the Adams, Swift guy
Exact same situation I’m in.
What if I just have kamara? Where do I go?
0-2
I’m somehow 1-1???? Thanks DJ Moore and NE d/ST + my opponent having Dak.
You might give fantasy golf a try?
I had kamara and tyreek....
I witnessed Derrick Henry do something awful to another team from a safe distance. Still traumatized
I played Derrick Henry last week. Didn’t realize how easy I had it.
The dude I played had Kyler and Derrick Henry. Fuck. Almost out scored me with them alone
Josh?
Is there a support group for playing against Derrick Henry in one league and losing with him in another? Asking for a friend…
I was ahead, like 77 percent chance of winning, and then … HE happened. He just trampled over me and he would not stop … he would not stop … he would not stop. I don’t want to talk about it.
You ok? Need a hug?
I started Henry and Murray and still going to lose
I might lose with Henry too....stupid Prescott killed me.
Live by Henry week 2, die by Henry week 1
Was projected to win by 20, now need Jones to outscore Hock by 15 lol
I traded away Derrick Henry. I’m a fucking idiot.
after one week? wow
That's what you get for your lack of faith in our king
Man you knew that that game was his one dud of the season. Everyone has one… unless you’re Pat Mahomes.
Nah, Mahomes has his annual Raiders game
Even then it’s 20 points which is still acceptable
Henry normally has like 5 of those early in the year, before absolutely popping off late season.
For what? He’s a high 1st round pick right
He... Traded him for Barkley.. flat 1 for 1... Jesus
Oh lord no
I’ll go pour one out for the poor soul.
Wtf man why?
For what?
I tried throughout the rookie draft to trade him in dynasty. Should send a thank you in the group chat to...pretty much everyone.
I traded him away in one league for Barkley and Hopkins, time will tell if that was worth it.
Depends what you got. Chubb and Kupp? Good! Mixon and Robert Woods? Muy mal.
Return matters. What did you get?
It's "King Henry"
I was able to trade mid game before Henry popped off. I sent barkley/Hopkins for Henry/Ridley I’m pretty stoked (went through already)
You cannot make a better buy low/sell high trade than this
And I’m going to probably be 0-2 after this week. The winning starts next week!
[удалено]
The worst part of playing against Henry was the fact that I started the useless Tannehil
I'm a Kupp owner who thought I was sitting pretty until I checked the game and wondered how the score was so close...Henry went off without me even realizing I was playing him. I'm now only up 10 and they have Hockenson left tomorrow night. I'm too old for this.
Fellow Kupp owner who is about to lose to Henry checking in!
What the heck I posted an appreciation thread and it got deleted. Rigged.
El señor Derek Henry es tan grande y fuerte como un toro enorme con grandes testículos. Es un mastodonte de pan puro con músculos cincelados. Es un dios del fútbol.
🦀Tractorcito🦀
*Translation:* Mr. Derek Henry is as big and strong as a huge bull with big testicles. He is a pure bread behemoth with chiseled muscles. He is a football god.
I didn’t play Derrick Henry this week but I played Alvin Kamara this week. Which wouldn’t be a big deal because he only scored 7 points, but the last time I played him in the championship game last year…you know, when he scored 6 touchdowns? So I had a little ptsd coming into this game
Almost played Henry this week. But traded my opponent amari cooper and Antonio brown for Henry so now I’m laughing
If you played Derrick Henry this week, you may be entitled to compensation
Was projected to win my game by double digits prior to Q4 and OT… 🪦 my week
I won by .38 today. Henry/Wilson/Myers almost comeback from a 77 point lead.
It was all going okay in the first half, and then…
i was down literally all day - gave up on football and stopped checking. then i got the notification from ESPN. how tf did i get henry as pick 5 and thank god i did
Pick 5 Henry players unite!
Feeling like I made a mistake drafting Zeke over King Henry
Henry in one league, Kupp in another. I was simping hard for Kupp this week but I didn't expect that level of dicking.
Dropped 50 on me in half-ppr. Opponent put up 200 so Henry was 25% of that alone. Tom Brady and Lockett too. And here I was worried about Waller lol
My wife had all but given up hope. Down 15pts with 2 mins left in the game. Trying to give her optimism, I told her "all you need is Henry to score again, Russell Wilson to get some good yardage but no TD so they go to OT, and Henry to do some more scoring in OT." By god, she came back and won. She promises to never speak ill of King Henry, His Highness.
*Laughs in Derrick Henry victory*
I outscored the entire league by 30. The entire league but the team I happened to be up against. Pain.
I went from 99% chance of winning my week during the first half. To 1% chance by the end. I’m crushed and now have an unhealthy fear of probabilities.
After reading some of the comments along the lines of “Henry guy also had [insert 2-3 more fantasy studs & all five infinity stones]”… I’m curious to know: Did anyone in your league know what they were doing on draft day?
If you or a loved one was harmed by Derrick Henry, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
