FantasyPros Articles on Derrick Henry
From the article
After Sunday's 144 rushing yards and three touchdowns, Henry now needs only 11 more rushing touchdowns to become the Ravens' all-time rushing touchdown record holder. The New Orleans Saints allowed the fifth-most rushing yards in Week 1 (165), getting gashed by Jahmyr Gibbs and allowing a 32.7% explosive run rate.
STACKED’s take
Henry's 144 yards, 3 TDs, and elite efficiency face Saints' weak run defense and thin Ravens WR room.
Safe start in Week 2 vs. New Orleans Saints. Exceptional production in Year 11: 144 rushing yards and 3 TDs in Week 1 opener vs. Colts; needs only 11 more rushing TDs to become Ravens' all-time record holder despite playing 50+ fewer games than current leaders. Averaged 6.0 yards per carry and 8.3% explosive run rate in Week 1. Saints allowed fifth-most rushing yards (165) in Week 1 with 32.7% explosive run rate. Ravens could be without Zay Flowers and Ja'Kobi Lane, creating monster workload for Henry. 75% of Henry's rushes came in zone concepts (6.75 yards per carry), and Saints particularly struggled in zone plays (5.88 yards per carry allowed).
