Is Derek Henry Playing in Week 13?
Henry is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Ravens’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Henry in Week 13?
Derrick Henry punched in two short touchdowns against the Jets last week, but 3.0 yards per carry?
Lamar Jackson hasn’t shown the same upside with his legs and I think that’s condensing the defensive attention to the middle of the field. Realistically, we can’t complain: Henry has 18+ carries in six straight games and you’re playing that profile this time of year without a second thought.
I love that he’s caught multiple passes in three straight (one such game this season prior) and if we can get that to sustain OR the rushing efficiency to be more consistent, I think we are looking at a top 10 back over the next few weeks (two Bengal games and the Steelers on extended rest next week).
You’ll be starting him in the fantasy playoffs, but matchups against the Patriots and Packers could prove to be a monster problem.
