News: 2 days agoHenry carried the ball 24 times for 162 yards and caught both his targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 34-17 win over Pittsburgh.

Spin: The 189 scrimmage yards were Henry's highest single-game total since Week 4, when he trampled the Bills for 199 yards on the ground and 10 more through the air. The veteran RB blew past the 1,500-yard milestone on the season in the process, and his 1,636 yards represents his best showing since his career-high 2,027 yards in 2020. Henry will look to keep rolling in Week 17 on the road against the Texans.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After playing eight seasons in Tennessee, Henry signed with the Ravens in free agency to take over the lead role in the Baltimore backfield. While Henry will turn 30 years old this season, he can still get on a north/south track as a downhill hammer in the run game, with enough juice to create big plays. In 2023, Henry's 272 carries tied for the league lead, and his 2.22 yards after first contact ranked at the top. With the Ravens, Henry will work behind a stronger offensive front and pair with Lamar Jackson to create a dynamic backfield attack. Henry won't give you high-end receving numbers (27 receptions last season), but the rushing volume and scoring opportunities place the veteran in the upper-tier RB2 discussion.
