Derrick Henry Week 4 Outlook - Ravens at Browns

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 28th 2023, 1:05pm EDT

Henry is extremely game script-sensitive these days. In the Titans' two losses, Henry has played 48% and 38% of the snaps, averaging 12 touches and 69.5 total yards. In their one win, Henry logged 71% of the snaps with 28 touches and 95 total yards. The Bengals' offense will determine how many snaps Henry plays this week. Henry hasn't looked like the Henry of old this season. Among 59 qualifying running backs, he ranks 36th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 32nd in yards after contact per attempt. His offensive line isn't helping him at all. Among that same sample of rushers, Henry has seen the 15th-lowest yards before contact per attempt. If Tennessee can keep this game close, Henry could post some nice rushing stats. The Bengals have allowed the fourth-highest explosive run rate and the 14th-highest yards after contact per attempt. Cincinnati has allowed the eighth-highest yards per carry and 11th-highest success rate to gap runs (Henry 52.9% gap). Week 4 Positional Value: low-end RB1
