His 7 touchdowns put him on pace for 29.75. He is two touchdowns from Marshall Faulk's 136, seventh on the all-time list. Henry is too valuable to sit, but we need to be prepared for a lower outcome unless he can push through on volume.

Henry on pace for 29.75 TDs but faces tough Atlanta defense in Week 5.

Henry is attacking the career rushing yards and touchdowns list. His 7 touchdowns put him on pace for 29.75. He is two touchdowns from Marshall Faulk's 136, seventh on the all-time list. Six touchdowns will tie Jamal Lewis for the Ravens franchise record. Henry has been piling on usage through the first four weeks; the Ravens will need to continue leaning on him with Tyler Huntley after Lamar Jackson looks to be out for multiple weeks. However, Week 5's matchup is difficult against a hot Atlanta defense that plays up for primetime spots. Henry is too valuable to sit, but we need to be prepared for a lower outcome unless he can push through on volume.
