Derrick Henry Fantasy Football Rankings & Outlook

PFM Fantasy Outlook

Derrick Henry scored Baltimore's only touchdown in the 36-10 loss to Buffalo, running in from two yards after the Ravens recovered favorable field position. He finished with 53 yards on 11 carries. Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley both left with injuries, and the passing attack could not keep drives alive long enough to sustain Henry's workload. His touchdown was useful, but the Ravens spent much of the afternoon playing from behind instead of building their offense around the run.

Henry has 632 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns through eight games, with 12 catches for 75 yards and a receiving score. PFM ranks him RB16 for Thursday's Week 9 meeting with Jacksonville and RB7 rest of season. That weekly discount reflects more than the Jaguars matchup: Baltimore's quarterback situation can make even a healthy Henry dependent on short fields and goal-line chances. He remains the best option when the Ravens need to finish a rushing drive, but there must be enough successful drives for those opportunities to appear.
