Derrick Henry not coming together. It's been a a pretty tough three-game run. Oh wait, Lamar Jackson's been out those three weeks... when you have the best rushing threat at the league in quarterback who can create inside or outside... that opens things up for Derrick Henry... you're starting him every week, you're not thinking otherwise, but hoping you get the most out of him is is the path forward.
STACKED’s take
Lamar's return should unlock Henry; defenses load up without elite dual-threat QB.
Henry's production has suffered during Lamar Jackson's three-week absence. With Lamar Jackson healthy, his elite dual-threat ability (passer and runner) forces defenses to occupy 1–3 defenders on him, which opens up Henry's opportunities. With backup Tyler Huntley, defenses load up on Henry because Huntley is an okay passer and okay runner at best, lacking Lamar's consistency and dangerous skill sets. Matt Waldman compares this to DeAndre Swift's success with Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia, where Hurts' QB threat opened lanes for the RB. Henry possesses two elite traits—size and speed—that the Ravens should maximize more consistently. Bob Harris and Matt Waldman emphasize the need to get more out of him going forward, though he remains a weekly starter.
