Derrick Henry Week 5 Outlook - Ravens at Falcons

By Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros), Tue, Oct 6th 2026, 8:39pm EDT

With Lamar Jackson dealing with an ankle injury, the entire Ravens offense takes a step back. That said, there is even more reason to rely on Henry. Despite defenses being able to focus on Henry, we all know that you can only slow him down for so long; eventually, a big run is coming. However, this week may not be the best week for Lamar to miss. The Falcons have been rolling. More specifically, their run defense has been outstanding. This season, they are allowing 48.3 rushing yards per game. The next fewest is Jacksonville with 73.8 yards. As a result, I am going to have Henry outside of my top-12 RBs this week.
