NBC Sports Rotoworld on Derrick Henry
From the article
Jackson generated 29 yards after contact as a rusher and, even though he wasn't featured, was involved enough in Baltimore's run game to draw eyes.
STACKED’s take
Jackson's health and Ravens' receiver injuries position Henry for run-first identity.
Henry's Week 1 performance is promising not just for the box score but for two structural reasons: Lamar Jackson's health looks like 2024 Jackson (not the concerning 2025 version), which sets a floor on the passing offense and draws eyes away from Henry; and the Ravens' passing game is depleted with Zay Flowers (5/150/1 on six targets) leaving with a hamstring injury and ja'Kobi Lane also hurt, leaving Mark Andrews and Chris Moore as leading receivers. The source suggests that with OC Declan Doyle bringing a Bears-like running game to one of the most talented backs of his era, Henry could be an RB1 overall candidate, and notes he was already a top-five back with Baltimore as recently as 2024.
