Derrick Henry Scores In Loss To Bills

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry capped off another fantastic year with a touchdown despite the team getting away from the run when they could have used it the most in the two-point loss to the Buffalo Bills. He finished the game with 16 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown to go along with two targets, but he didn't haul any of those in. The Ravens had short spurts of committing to the run, then they ultimately got away from it as the game went on. In two postseason games, Henry accumulated 270 yards on the ground and three touchdowns. Henry and Lamar Jackson will look for redemption next season while the Ravens look to re-tool on both sides of the ball.

Derrick Henry Ready To Lead The Ground Game Again In Divisional Round

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry is fresh off of a ridiculous 186-yard game with two touchdowns in the Wild Card round, and he sets his sights on the Buffalo Bills. The last time these two teams faced off was in Week 4 when Henry registered 199 yards and a score on 24 carries to go along with three catches for 10 yards and another touchdown. He had a ridiculous 8.29 yards per carry average, and he'll likely be heavily involved once again in a freezing game in Buffalo. At kickoff, the temperature should be around 19 degrees Fahrenheit with a windchill that could reach the single digits. Everything about it signals a heavier ground game where Henry can dish out punishment.

Derrick Henry Dominates Steelers In Wild Card Win

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry almost ran for two football fields against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the way to a 28-14 win. The superstar back finished with 186 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries and didn't even participate in the passing game. Henry was able to break off big runs by simply outrunning the defense, and he flashed the devastating stiff arm when he slapped Minkah Fitzpatrick out of the picture. The Ravens' possible opponents in the next round are the Bills and Texans, who Henry has posted 199 and 147 yards against this season.

Derrick Henry Still At RB1 Value In Week 18

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry will suit and try to win an AFC North crown in his first season with the team. He's registered back-to-back games with at least 20 fantasy points in half-PPR formats, and now he sets his sights on the Cleveland Browns in the season finale. Henry posted 73 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries the last time he played the Browns, and fell just shy of an RB1. At home, Henry averages 119.0 yards and a touchdown per game, and the Browns won't have a full team of starters. He comes in as an RB1 yet again to finish off the season.

Derrick Henry Remains An Automatic Start Against Texans

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry decided to flip the script the last two weeks after putting up a dud against the Giants, he came back and posted 162 yards on the ground against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16. On Christmas Day, he takes on the Houston Texans who give up the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing backfields. They still allow 106.8 rushing yards per game but only nine touchdowns and forced 10 fumbles. However, it looks like Henry may get even more work in this game since Justice Hill (concussion) has been ruled out. He remains a must-start for any fantasy managers trusting him in their fantasy championships or playoffs.

Derrick Henry Rumbles For 189 Yards In Win Over Pittsburgh

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry handled 24 carries, rushing for 162 yards in his team's 34-17 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The bruising back added another 27 yards through the air, hauling in both of his targets. Henry was a force on Saturday, swatting Steelers defenders to the ground en route to a robust 6.75 yards per carry. The only thing missing from his line was a score -- something he has not done since Week 12. Still, the 30-year-old put together his sixth performance of the season with more than 130 rushing yards, gashing the Steelers' defense for chunk gains whenever he touched the rock. It was a nice bounce-back effort after he put up a dud against the Giants in Week 15. Henry will get another stiff test in Week 17 against a tough Houston Texans team.

Derrick Henry Gets Another Tough Task In Week 16

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry hasn't found the end zone in the last three consecutive games and posted his worst performance of the season against the New York Giants. Despite the Giants being ranked 26th against the run in fantasy, Henry took a backseat to the passing game which produced five touchdowns. In Week 16, he goes up against the Pittsburgh Steelers who just held Saquon Barkley to 65 yards and no touchdowns. The last time these two teams faced off, Henry finished with 11 fantasy points in half-PPR formats which came in as an RB2. His value hovers round a high-end RB2 with RB1 potential at home.

Derrick Henry Has Quiet Day On The Ground

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry tallied just 67 yards on 14 attempts during their victory over the New York Giants. He did not see a target in the passing game. This was a surprisingly poor showing for the veteran running back, who averaged 108.2 rushing yards per game entering this contest. The Ravens were doing all of their damage through the air which took some of the workload off Henry as Jackson tallied 290 passing yards. The Ravens also played with a sizeable lead throughout the second half, which allowed them to turn to Rasheen Ali to run out the clock. Despite the quiet output, fantasy managers should still view the 30-year-old as a top-12 option in all matchups throughout the remainder of the season. Next weekend, he will face the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs this season.

Derrick Henry Draws A Great Matchup In Week 15

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has slowed down just a bit over the last few weeks before the team went into their bye week. After finding the end zone in each of the first 11 games, he hasn't been able to score in their last two. In Week 15, however, Henry goes up against the New York Giants who give up an average of 22.5 fantasy points per game to opposing backfields in half-PPR formats. They even allow the fourth most rushing yards per contest at 141.7. On top of that, Henry cut off his locs to get some cornrows, so fantasy managers can consider him an RB1 heading into this matchup.

Derrick Henry Totals Over 100 Yards In Loss

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry failed to reach the end zone again during the 24-19 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Henry registered 82 yards on 19 carries and three catches for 29 yards on three targets. This was an uphill battle from the start as the Eagles possess one of the top defenses in the league. After scoring in each one of their first 11 games, Henry has failed to find paydirt in the last two. The team will get a much-needed bye week and then take on the New York Giants in Week 15.

Derrick Henry Prepared For Battle Of Top Runners

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry was finally overtaken as the league's top runner last week when Saquon Barkley put together a historic performance. Henry now sits at the RB2 in half-PPR formats and is 37 yards behind Barkley. Both defenses have been very good against the run, but the Philadelphia Eagles have given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing backfields. The Ravens have been a force when Henry gets 20+ carries, but the game script could be different if the Eagles' offense gets an early lead. The King still comes in as an RB1 either way.

Derrick Henry Notches Another 100-Yard Game

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry found plenty of room against the Chargers in the 30-23 primetime victory. The King registered 24 carries for 140 yards, but he ended his touchdown streak at 11 games as he didn't find the end zone in this one. Henry also wasn't involved in the passing game at all. He still saw 60% of the offensive snaps and the Ravens look unstoppable when he gets at least 20 carries. He'll look to carry this momentum over to a tough matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13.

Derrick Henry Faces Another Tough Defense In Week 12

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry cooled off a bit over the last couple of weeks compared to his huge outputs through the first nine weeks. He's gone up against solid defensive units and will try to find some running room against even better ones over the next two weeks. In Week 12, the Ravens take on the Los Angeles Chargers who are the third toughest team against backfields. They only allow 14.6 fantasy points per game to opposing running back groups in half-PPR formats. While Henry remains a must-start, fantasy managers may want to temper expectations in this matchup since he could end up around a low-end RB1.

Derrick Henry Keeps Touchdown Streak Intact

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry posted one of his worst weeks of the season in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The good news is that Henry did find the end zone while accumulating 65 yards on 13 carries. He also registered his third fumble of the season, however, which brought his total to just barely hitting double-digits. Since the offense was kept in check the entire game, the Ravens also had to abandon the run late in the game. Henry's next opportunity to break off some bigger runs will be against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12.

Derrick Henry Faces Tough Task Against Steelers

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has been nothing short of amazing this season and has propelled the offense to new heights. Even though Saquon Barkley is the current rushing leader after Thursday night, Henry has two more touchdowns, a higher yards per attempt average, and sits at RB1 on the season. In Week 11, he'll go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers who give up an average of 19.0 fantasy points per game to opposing backfields in half-PPR formats. They've allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards in the league and only seven rushing touchdowns all season. Henry still boasts RB1 potential, however, because the Steelers are more stout against the passing game, so the game plan will likely go through the backfield.

Derrick Henry Salvages Week With Another Touchdown

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry seemed like he was headed for a fantasy dud as the offense couldn't get much going during the first half on Thursday night. Luckily, Henry scored on a goalline run towards the end of the third quarter and salvaged his fantasy week for many managers. He ended the game with 68 yards and one score on 16 carries with one reception for three yards. The only threat to Henry's fantasy output is the defense allowing tons of points to force games into a shootout. He'll try to find some running room against the Steelers in Week 11.

Derrick Henry Still A Must-Start Option Against Bengals

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry remains atop the position in fantasy this season and it doesn't look like he'll be letting go of that lead any time soon. The King faces off against the Cincinnati Bengals in a short week, but the last time these two teams faced off, Henry was able to find the end zone while compiling 92 yards on 15 carries. The game turned into a shootout, so he wasn't involved the whole way through. While that could happen again, Henry receives opportunities early and often, and he has a solid history on Thursday night as he's registered 685 yards and nine touchdowns on 134 carries in eight career Thursday night games.
