Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has yet another tough matchup ahead of him in Week 11 after registering a low-end RB2 finish in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran goes up against the Cleveland Browns for the second time this season after registering just two fantasy points in half-PPR leagues the first time these two met. Throughout the season, the Browns are the fourth-toughest defense against backfields and have only allowed three touchdowns on the ground all season. They give up just 16.79 fantasy points per game to the whole backfield. While Henry could always break off a big play, he's projected as a high-end RB2 this week.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has gotten back on track over the last few games, and comes into Week 10 as the overall RB15 in half-PPR leagues. Across those last three games, Henry is averaging 104.0 yards and 0.7 touchdowns on 21.3 carries per game. The Minnesota Vikings, however, have been quite stout against the run for most of the season. They're ranked the 11th toughest defense against opposing backfields and limited the dynamic Detroit Lions' run game to just a total of 16 fantasy points last week. With that being said, Henry is projected as a low-end RB1 because Lamar Jackson's gravity can still account for a lot of openings on the ground.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry rushed for 119 yards on 19 carries during Thursday's Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins. He also converted his lone target into a two-yard reception. Henry had a relatively underwhelming four-week stretch earlier in the season, but he has suddenly bounced back with three terrific showings. Over his last three contests, he has totaled 64 carries, 312 rushing yards, and two touchdowns, as well as a pair of receptions. He's firmly back in RB1 territory ahead of a favorable Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry gave fantasy managers what they've all been waiting for in the Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears. He registered his first finish as an RB1 since Week 1 and found the end zone twice in the process. Now, Lamar Jackson returns to the lineup as the Ravens finally get healthier heading into a short week matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The impact of Patrick Ricard back on the field was evident in Week 8, but having Ricard and Jackson back should start to open up some holes in the defense for Henry. Plus, the Dolphins are ranked 28th against opposing backfields, allowing an average of 27.44 fantasy points per matchup. Look for Henry to bring back mid-to-high-level RB1 value.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry hasn't finished in RB1 territory in half-PPR leagues since Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills. The ground game has struggled mightily, especially while Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has been sidelined, due to playing major catch-up as the defense gives up the most points in the league. In Week 8, Jackson may return, but one of the bigger returning names for the run game is Patrick Ricard. The big fullback has been a huge help with both run blocking and pass protection, and has registered multiple seasons with grades of 80 or above in run blocking. With his return and if Jackson can play, that sets up Henry to return to his ceiling. As of right now, he's projected to be a low-end RB1 in his first game since the bye.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry continues to see his fantasy value diminish each week. In half-PPR formats, he's finished in RB1 territory only one time and has scored double-digit fantasy points twice. He only has one more touchdown than he does fumbles, and he still doesn't play any part in the passing game. Their opponent, the Los Angeles Rams, is currently ranked as the third-toughest team against running backs in fantasy as they give up just 15.56 fantasy points per matchup. They held Christian McCaffrey to 57 yards on 22 carries and Saquon Barkley to 46 yards on 18 carries. That combined with the Ravens' offensive line issues and fullback Patrick Ricard (calf) still sidelined, means Henry is projected to finish around RB19.

Even without MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring), Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry still should be considered an RB1 candidate when his team takes on the Houston Texans in Week 5. The veteran running back is coming off a low-volume dud last week during a blowout loss at Kansas City, but should be the focal point of the Baltimore offense on Sunday. Houston allows opponents to score at the lowest rate in the NFL, but is only middle of the pack against fantasy running backs. The Ravens will need Henry to be involved early and often, which should keep him locked into fantasy lineups.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry had three fumbles over the last two seasons combined, which included 605 carries. This year, he already has three fumbles in three games across 41 carries. Despite the ball security issues, he's still averaging a touchdown and 80.7 yards per game. Most of that success came in Week 1 when he finished as the RB1 overall, but the last two weeks saw a finish at RB54 and RB21. The Kansas City Chiefs still present a tougher matchup as they're ranked ninth in points allowed per game, and 13th against opposing running backs in fantasy. Henry still won't have the lead blocking of fullback Patrick Ricard (calf), and star tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) is also questionable. While we wouldn't advise benching Henry (projected to be RB8), this week could prove to be pivotal in the trajectory of the season.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry noted on Wednesday via the team's official site that he's focused on improving his ball security after a string of recent fumbles. "I don't try to harp on it too much," said the 31-year-old. "At the same time, it's a problem that's got to be fixed. I'm working on it as hard as I can to get this issue resolved." Through nine seasons, Henry had only ever fumbled more than three times twice, matching the number of times he's lost more than two of them. While it's undoubtedly concerning, fantasy managers do not need to worry about this issue in the long term, as the former second-round pick is working to rectify it. Despite two down weeks, he's firmly on the RB1 radar ahead of his matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry racked up 50 yards on his 12 carries and scored a 28-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. He added a seven-yard catch on his only target, but he also had another costly fumble late in the game, when his team trailed 28-24 and was looking to drive for a potential score to take the lead. Instead, the Lions kicked a field goal after the fumble and went on to win 38-31. The Ravens dropped to 1-2 with the loss, and both their losses came in close games after late Henry fumbles. He and his team will look to bounce back next week, but they're in a tough matchup on the road against the Chiefs. While he has three touchdowns and 242 rushing yards through three games, his late-game fumbles are definitely becoming an issue and a storyline.
Sep 23, 2025 9:15 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry was surprisingly shut down during last week's win over the Cleveland Browns. He couldn't find much success at all as he rushed 11 times for 23 yards on the ground. It's not often that fantasy managers see Henry actually get bottled up. The expectation is that Henry will go back to his elite ways on the ground in Week 3. He'll draw a strong matchup against the Detroit Lions defense on Monday night. Fantasy managers should forget about that Week 2 dud and lock-in Henry as an elite RB1 for this weekend.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry doesn't have anything to prove when it comes to his overall career. After last week, however, he'll look to bounce back after fumbling during a key moment in the fourth quarter, which eventually led to a loss. Then, while talking to the media, Grant Delpit from the Browns responded to a question about how hard it was to tackle Henry with "not hard." As if the 10-year vet already didn't run with a purpose. Last season, he collected 211 yards and three touchdowns on 31 carries combined between the two games against the Browns. They saw his third-highest yards per carry mark (6.81) out of all of the teams he played that year. RotoBaller currently has him ranked the RB1 in half-PPR leagues, so make sure he isn't on the bench.

Baltimore Ravens All-Pro running back Derrick Henry was absolutely dominant on Sunday in the Ravens' 41-40 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. Henry rushed for 169 yards on 18 carries and added one reception for 13 yards. His two touchdown scores were from 30 yards out in the second quarter and 46 yards out in the fourth quarter. Henry also suffered the lowlight of Sunday's contest when he coughed up a fumble on Baltimore's second-to-last drive, allowing the Bills to score a touchdown with just under two minutes remaining to close the gap to 40-38. Most importantly for fantasy managers, the 31-year-old showed zero signs of slowing down or falling off because of his age, and he conceded three total carries to fellow running backs Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali. Wide receiver Zay Flowers had a few end-arounds, and Lamar Jackson attempted six rushes, but nothing threatening towards Henry's workload is a positive sign for fantasy managers. Up next is a date with the Cleveland Browns, who looked good defensively in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Henry will remain an RB1 heading into Week 2.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry remained a first-round fantasy draft pick in terms of ADP this year despite turning 31 years old and entering his tenth season in the NFL. The former Titan has been a freak of nature throughout his career, so the fact that he took on a heavy workload last season shouldn't scare anyone away. The only back with more yards last season was none other than Saquon Barkley after Henry amassed 1,921 yards and 16 touchdowns on 325 carries. While Justice Hill should continue to get more of the passing work, Henry is lined up to see the same role from last season. Against the Buffalo Bills last year, their Week 1 opponent, King Henry combined for 283 yards and two touchdowns on 40 carries, and even registered a receiving touchdown in their regular season matchup. RotoBaller currently has him projected to finish as the RB5 in Week 1.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry will not play in the team's preseason opener on Thursday night against the Indianapolis Colts, according to head coach John Harbaugh. The head coach said the Ravens will determine if Jackson and Henry will play in any preseason games at all. Neither superstar is dealing with an injury, but the Ravens will continue to be cautious with their best players in exhibition games. The 28-year-old Jackson did not play at all in the preseason last year and still had the finest year of his career as a passer with 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns and only four interceptions in 17 regular-season games. He also rushed for 915 yards and four TDs on the ground. Jackson is RotoBaller's QB2 in fantasy, while King Henry sits as the RB5. The combination of both Jackson's and Henry's legs make Baltimore's offense elite.

Running back Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens reached an agreement on Wednesday on a two-year, $30 million contract extension that includes $25 million fully guaranteed over the next two seasons, according to Todd France of Athletes First. It is the largest deal in NFL history for a RB over 30 years old. The Ravens have rewarded the 31-year-old five-time Pro Bowler and former Offensive Player of the Year after he recorded 1,921 rushing yards and a league-high 16 rushing touchdowns on 325 carries in 17 regular-season games in 2024 in his first year in Baltimore. He added 19 catches for 193 yards and two more TDs. While some were expecting physical decline from King Henry last year, he was as dominant as ever in the Ravens' run-first offense, finishing as the RB1 in fantasy. Henry has limitations as a pass-catcher, but until he proves otherwise, he's a high-end RB1 target in fantasy.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that he'd like the team to extend running back Derrick Henry, who is heading into the last year of his current deal in 2025. It comes after Henry signed a two-year, $16 million deal last offseason and said in February that he'd like to finish his career in Baltimore. It makes sense for both sides after King Henry didn't show any signs of slowing down in 2024 with 1,921 rushing yards and a league-high 16 rushing touchdowns on 325 carries while adding 19 receptions for 193 yards and two touchdowns through the air in 17 regular-season starts. It was good enough to make him the RB3 in half-PPR scoring, behind only Jahmyr Gibbs and Saquon Barkley. Father Time is undefeated, but Henry is a different beast and pairs extremely well with quarterback Lamar Jackson's rushing ability. Henry is still much more attractive in standard-scoring fantasy leagues, but either way, he's a high-end RB1.
Apr 1, 2025 10:50 PM EST
According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Baltimore Ravens and running back Derrick Henry are expected to start contract-extension talks early this offseason. Henry made $11 million in his first year with the Ravens in 2024 and is scheduled to make $7 million in his second year with the team in 2025. The 31-year-old King Henry proved this year that he still has plenty left in the tank and he recently told The Athletic that he would like to retire with the Ravens. Henry finished the 2024 campaign with 1,921 rushing yards -- the second-highest total of his career -- and a league-high 16 rushing touchdowns in 17 regular-season games to earn his fifth Pro Bowl selection. Despite the fact that Henry has a ton of tread on his tires and is an offense with quarterback Lamar Jackson, he will remain a high-end RB1 target in fantasy this fall.
Feb 10, 2025 12:16 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta said on Wednesday that the team will be looking at a possible contract extension for running back Derrick Henry this offseason. Despite being on the wrong side of 30 (31), King Henry proved that he still has plenty left in the tank, rushing for 1,921 yards and a league-high 16 rushing touchdowns on 325 rushing attempts in 17 regular-season starts in his first year in Baltimore. He also added 19 receptions for 193 yards and two more TDs while averaging a career-high 5.9 yards per carry. Henry finished the regular season as the RB3 in half-PPR scoring. He'll be heading into the last year of the two-year, $16 million deal he signed last offseason, but the Ravens want him around longer. Showing no signs of slowing down and being in one of the best offenses in football, Henry should be a high-end RB1 again this fall.

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.
