Henry remains a top-15 RB in fantasy points per game at 17.67. His 11.3% explosive run rate ranks inside the top 15. Buffalo is allowing over 23 carries and a touchdown per game to opposing backs. If Lamar returns, fire up Henry as an RB1.

Positive signalMatchup

Henry's elite explosive rate and Buffalo's weak run defense make him an RB1 if Lamar returns.

Henry has struggled over the past two weeks, ranking in the bottom five in missed tackles forced and stuffed on 48% of short-yardage attempts, raising concerns about Father Time. However, he maintains a top-15 RB ranking in fantasy points per game at 17.67 and an 11.3% explosive run rate (inside the top 15). Buffalo allows over 23 carries and a touchdown per game to opposing backs. With Lamar Jackson's expected return, the source projects Henry as an RB1 if he receives that workload, suggesting his struggles are scheme-dependent rather than talent-based.
