Derrick Henry

If we knew that Baltimore would score 35 points and win by 21 last week against a weak New York Giants run defense, we would have expected Derrick Henry to be heavily involved. Instead, he finished the week as the overall RB36, his worst finish of the year. OK then... to make matters worse, Henry gets a difficult draw against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16. Henry emerged from his last meeting with the Steelers as an RB2, which is probably a realistic expectation for him this week.

Derrick Henry ran for 162 yards on 24 carries in the Ravens 34-17 win over the Steelers. He also caught 2-of-2 targets for 27 yards receiving.

Fantasy Impact

The 24 carries Henry saw were his most in the past month. He was able to dominate on the ground and control the game against a physical Steelers defensive line. He'll remain an RB1 play next week against the Texans.
