Is Cohen worth dropping for him? I’d like to wait another week to see if the Bears involve him more, but I’ll miss out on Henry.

You left out possibly the most important piece of information when comparing Cohen to Henry

Don’t care if it is ppr or not. You pick up Henry.

PPR/standard is irrelevant when comparing Cohen and Henry. It’s Henry no matter what

I disagreed. If I own Cohen, he is probably a bench RB. He provides higher upside in a PPR should Howard go down. Henry is not startable in a PPR league to me.

I think the issue with that line of thinking is this: Does Henry not have upside if Dion gets hurt? Who is more likely to actually get the bulk of the touches if the other backfield piece gets hurt? Cohen is 180 pounds. I don’t see any situation where he handles 15-20 touches a game. Henry is built to handle a big workload and has received a 20 touch workload in the NFL, unlike Cohen.
Henry is better right now and has higher upside in the case of an injury, IMO. Henry > Cohen in both PPR and Standard, easily

I'm in the same situation with Cohen and Henry being dropped in my league. It's a tough call. You look at Henry physically and think this should be a no brainer. The issue is Henry just looks extremely limited in his role and has failed to produce up to this point. First it was Demarco in his way. Demarco breaks down last year and he still can't breakout. Demarco retires and he let's lewis take the lead back role. Let's forget his days at Alabama. Trent Richardson looked all world there and then we slowly figured out he was bad at football (took a couple different teams before we realized this).
I'm trying to figure out what he can bring to the table. He gives you zero in the passing game so gameflow affects him a lot. His ypc is really poor at times and supposedly he isn't a good inside runner. He's huge yet they are giving red zone stuff to Lewis. Basically what I read on this guy is that you need the defense to be worn down and Tenn to be up enough that they can feed him and hope he hits a home run on an outside run. I'm not too encouraged.
Cohen will never be a workhorse but in ppr I think he can potentially be safer. I'm trying to wait at least one more week to see if Nagy tries to see how much he can use him in the tyreek hill role. Hill is a more natural receiver but Cohen seems like he could be moved around. If Henry goes 22 for 100, that's a good day for him. Cohen can pop off 5 for 50 catching the ball at any moment. If Henry was playing the Blount hammer role in a decent offense it wouldn't be close but I'm not seeing it right now. Being an outside runner but no catching ability is killing him.

Henry and Barber dropped, and Im thinking Malcolm Brown would be a better pick up
