Yahoo Sports NFL on Derrick Henry

Henry's 4 TDs in two games make him dangerous, but Week 2 usage decline shows vulnerability.

Still performing at high level with 212 yards and four touchdowns through two games (144 yards, 3 TDs on 24 carries vs. Indianapolis; 68 yards, 1 TD on 16 carries vs. New Orleans). However, usage pattern shifted in Week 2 when Henry had just two carries in the second half as Baltimore tried to protect its lead, ultimately resulting in Ravens being shut out in final 18 minutes. Baltimore's offense is most dangerous when Jackson and Henry work together; if Cowboys can make Ravens one-dimensional by slowing Henry, Baltimore's offense becomes easier to handle, though Cowboys defense has shown vulnerability against strong running games.
