FantasyPros Articles on Derrick Henry
From the article
I expect the Atlanta Falcons to focus exclusively on stopping Henry, resulting in the Ravens' offensive play-callers being frustrated by the early over-stacked box and the 'seven carries for five yards' first quarter. Don't be surprised if Henry receives fewer than five carries in the third quarter and isn't even on the field in the fourth.
STACKED’s take
Henry faces stacked box, game flow issues vs. Falcons; may see limited 4Q snaps.
Derrick Henry faces a brutal Week 5 matchup against the Falcons despite his elite status. The Falcons' defense ranks 26th in points allowed to running backs and will focus exclusively on stopping Henry, resulting in an over-stacked box and limited opportunities. The Ravens offense is without Lamar Jackson and has a banged-up receiver room, creating game flow problems. The Falcons' explosive offense (with two Robinsons, Drake London, and Bijan Robinson) can dictate pace and keep the Ravens on the sideline. Henry may receive fewer than five carries in the third quarter and isn't expected to be on the field in the fourth quarter. Chris Mitchell expects Henry to be outscored by the Ravens backup RB in garbage time.
