Derrick Henry

Derrick Henry carried the ball 13 times for 46 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch either of his two targets in a 27-20 loss to the Chiefs in Week 1.

Henry scored the first touchdown of the 2024 NFL season on a five-yard run to cap off the Ravens' opening drive of the game. Despite the touchdown, the veteran running back did struggle to find room to run against a tough KC run defense, averaging just 3.5 yards per carry in his first game as a Baltimore Raven. Henry should find it easier to get going in Week 2 against the Raiders. He can be considered a low-end RB1 for that matchup.

Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry, a prize free agent acquisition, will not play in the 2024 NFL preseason.

With Henry sitting out of the preseason action, the public's first glimpse of the "King" in purple and black will be in Week 1 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The former Tennessee Titans RB is set to have a huge role in 2024 after a down season in Nashville, Tenn., where he still ran for 1,167 yards and 12 touchdowns. With RBs Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins in L.A., Henry (half-PPR ADP RB9) is set to have a potentially strong season on a potent offense.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he expects Derrick Henry to maintain a big workload.

“We do," Harbaugh said on whether he thinks Derrick Henry can maintain the same workload Henry saw in Tennessee. "I mean, I watched the wear and tear that he put on defenses — and ours included — over the years… I can’t wait to see him in action.” Even if the volume does take a step back for Henry, his efficiency should take a step forward sharing the backfield with Lamar Jackson to go along with more attempts at the goal line on a better offense.

Derrick Henry remained absent from Ravens practice on Tuesday.

It is still too early in camp to be concerned, but it's still worth monitoring.

Derrick Henry was not at Ravens OTAs on Thursday.

Lamar Jackson also remains absent from practice. There is no reason to have any concern right now as we sit here in May, but it is worth monitoring.
