From the article

Derrick Henry leads the league with 130 carries, and that volume is why he belongs in the top tier of running backs, even as his efficiency has dipped... Since Lamar Jackson sprained his ankle in Week 4, Henry has run for 102 yards in a Week 5 overtime win at Atlanta and 58 yards in a 13-10 loss at Cleveland last week, with no rushing touchdowns in either game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Henry's efficiency has dipped since Jackson's ankle injury, limiting his upside.

Henry leads the league with 130 carries and belongs in the top tier of running backs based on volume alone, averaging 21.7 carries per game. However, his efficiency has dipped significantly: he has 534 yards and seven touchdowns at 4.1 yards per carry. Since Lamar Jackson sprained his ankle in Week 4, Henry has run for 102 yards in a Week 5 overtime win at Atlanta and 58 yards in a 13-10 loss at Cleveland last week, with no rushing touchdowns in either game as the Ravens offense desperately misses their starting quarterback.
