There's a strong argument Derrick Henry had a better season than Saquon Barkley

Saquon's stats: 2,005 yards, 16 TD's, 52.5% success rate, 5.8 y/a, 125.3 ypg

Henry's stats: 1,921 yards, 18 TD's, 58.8% success rate, 5.9 y/a, 113 ypg

Some extra stats

Henry had a 0.12 per rush epa compared to Saquon's 0.1. Henry had a total epa of 40.6 compared to Saquon's 34.1 epa

Henry had 3.45 yards after contact compared to Saquon's 2.78

Henry had a tfl% of 8% compared to Saquon's 9.6%

Henry had a first down percentage of 28.9% compared to Saquon's 23.8%

But imo the true difference maker in all of this is that Saquon faced far worse rushing defenses. Unfortunately dvoa is no longer available to the average fan anymore, but we still have epa.

Saquon faced 4 of the 5 worst rushing defenses in epa (Saints, Commanders, Cowboys and Panthers) 6 times.

He only faced 3 teams all season that were top 15 in rushing defense (all 3 were top 10).

Henry faced 7 teams that were top 15 in rushing defense (6 were top 10).

So like the title said there's a strong argument Henry had the better season
