Should You Start or Sit Henry in Week 14?
If you started Henry on Thursday night, you were fine with the final results (104 total yards and a touchdown), but again, this Baltimore offense just doesn’t look right.
Henry had five carries in both halves, even after finishing their first drive with a 28-yard score. The Ravens hardly had the ball (21:14 time of possession), and with Lamar Jackson struggling to play up to expectations, defenses aren’t being threatened, and drives aren’t being extended.
He got home for you because of the one chunk gain on the ground and an outlier 44-yard reception. Outside of that, it was a blah week in a season full of them.
Yes, “blah” is the technical term.
Henry is up to 10 rushing scores and is still picking up 4.7 yards per carry. The total numbers aren’t bad, but there is no confusion this year for what we had expected. Until this offense finds some sort of groove, I can’t lock him into my top 10 at the position.
The floor is reasonable thanks to his role on the goal line, but the upside isn’t even remotely close to what we associate with this name. You’re playing him for the role and hoping beyond recent logic that this offense as a whole can rediscover its form of years past.
