Derrick Henry may be a free agent

And he has to work just a little harder to get low and he's just a little slower to make that first move and make that first tackler miss.

Still exceptional once he gets moving. But maybe a little easier to chop down quickly than he once was.

Meanwhile even 2 yard runs from Barkley look impressive as hell. That guy's a problem and the clear MVP, IMO.

Yeah, if you get Henry going east/west he’s far less of a threat. Same with him not getting a full head of steam as you mentioned.

Barkley is indeed having an incredible season and showing why he was a very high pick (even though the Giants wasted him). I don’t disagree that he’s playing at a MVP level, but I would genuinely be surprised if he wins it. Much like last year when CMC probably deserved it more than Jackson, he didn’t win or even come close.

As of this moment I feel that way about Barkley vs Allen. At this point I think it’s Allen’s to lose unless something bizarre happens. The Kelce’s labeled MVP as “Most Valuable Passer”, and at this point it’s hard to argue.
