FantasyPros Articles on Derrick Henry
From the article
Derrick Henry carries significant disappointment risk against a Jacksonville defense that leads the NFL in EPA allowed per rush (−0.21) entering Week 9. The Jaguars have held opposing running backs to 3.3 yards per carry and a league-low 57.7 rushing yards per game.
STACKED’s take
Henry faces elite Jaguars run defense with 3rd-string QB; expect well below RB17.
Derrick Henry carries significant disappointment risk this week against Jacksonville despite his RB17/32 overall ranking. Henry has managed fewer than 60 rushing yards in three consecutive games and is averaging only 68.3 rushing yards and 10.6 fantasy points per game without Lamar Jackson. With Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) both out, the Ravens will start undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, who completed just 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards and an interception last week. Jacksonville has an elite run defense, leading the NFL in EPA allowed per rush (−0.21), holding opposing RBs to 3.3 yards per carry and 57.7 rushing yards per game (league-low), and allowing only 17 fantasy points per game to the position. The Ravens' offensive line ranks 33rd in yards before contact per attempt (0.87), and Henry has only 12 catches for 75 yards through eight games, offering little receiving production to offset an inefficient rushing performance or unfavorable game script. Multiple sources agree Henry's ranking is unreasonable and expect mid-RB2 or worse performance.
