Should I Start Derrick Henry?

Saturday, October 24, 7:50 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has been incredible so far this season, and there's no reason to believe that won't continue in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 32-year-old back is averaging 21.7 rushing attempts per game, 4.1 yards per attempt, and has eight total touchdowns this season. Besides last week's dud of 60 total yards and a fumble against the Cleveland Browns, Henry has averaged about 22 half-PPR fantasy points per game. That ceiling remains, especially if Lamar Jackson is healthy enough to play this week after missing the last two games. Lamar has been dealing with an ankle injury, likely meaning fewer rushing attempts for him, leaving more for Henry. Against another division rival with a healthier offense, Henry seems like a clear bounce-back candidate in Week 7.
