Robert Henry Jr.

Henry Jr. profiles as an RB2/3 or change-of-pace option at the NFL level. He has average burst at best (24th percentile 10-yard split) and decent short-area agility. He'll toss in a nice juke move occasionally. Henry is a build-up speed runway back that does his best work with subtle jump cuts and vision in the second-level. He lacks the home run hitting, long speed, and palpable second gear. Henry is a liability in pass protection. He is late to the party at times as he's a tick late to diagnose his assignment. Henry will lunge at defenders and find himself out of position. His lateral agility limitations show up here as he'll get burned by speed rushers off the edge, as they easily get around him. He's a serviceable checkdown option in the passing game with dependable hands. Henry had only three drops in college (70 targets). Dynasty Outlook: Henry Jr. was signed to a UDFA deal with Washington. The Commanders also selected Kaytron Allen in the NFL Draft to add to their gaggle of cast-off running backs. I doubt Henry Jr. sticks with the team out of camp, considering the mountain of players he'll have to hop to make the team, but crazier things have happened. Stash him on taxi squads in deeper leagues where you can. His tackle-breaking metrics in college make him an intriguing lottery ticket.

The Commanders signed UTSA RB Robert Henry Jr. as an undrafted free agent.

Fantasy Impact

Henry started his career at the JUCO level before eventually transferring to UTSA in 2023. He led them in touchdowns that first year before taking over the lead role the past two seasons. The Commanders backfield is as favorable of a situation as it gets for an undrafted player to earn and make an impact.
