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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.

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.

The King ended the game with 106 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries and even added one reception for 27 yards.

They take on another solid defense in the Denver Broncos in Week 9, but Henry remains an undeniable part of the offense and will get the opportunity to bounce back in a big way. Even with the down week, he still sits at RB1 in half-PPR leagues and averages 21.4 fantasy points per game. Fantasy managers should continue to start him each week.
