One of the things I hate trying to guess every year are studs who are close to hitting the wall in terms of productivity. This year, it's once again Travis Kelce and Derrick Henry at the forefront of this discussion.
Last year, both of these guys were coming into the season having shown signs of slowing down in 2021. If I remember correctly, Henry's YPC had been declining, he had injuries the year before, his OL looked horrible and many were throwing the first round bust term around. He ended up with his second highest number of carries, third in yards/TDs. A very good year.
Kelce the same. He had a 2021 that showed signs he was declining, then came back in 2022 with his highest receptions and TDs. Hindsight says that we could have seen that coming with the departure of Tyreek, but many also thought he was getting older, and had maybe lost a step.
How are you handling these two this year? What info do you use to try and predict this sort of thing.
