Derrick Henry Looks to Get Back on Track in Matchup Vs. Bills

Saturday, October 31, 6:33 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry currently leads the NFL in rushing attempts (147) and ranks sixth in the league in rushing yardage (579). He is tied for third in the NFL in rushing touchdowns (seven). However, Henry is currently averaging a career-low 3.9 yards per carry, and he has rushed for under 60 yards in each of his last two games. He rushed for a season-low 45 yards in a Week 7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. However, with starting quarterback Lamar Jackson back, things could open up for Henry and Baltimore's ground game in a Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have struggled to defend the pass (285.8 passing yards per game allowed), but have been better against the run, allowing 101.0 rushing yards per game (15th in the NFL). Henry will remain a high-volume tailback and a must-start player against the Bills. Henry ranks as RotoBaller's No. 5 running back for Week 8.
