Should You Start or Sit Derrick Henry in Week 3?
A team would have to slow down the Ravens as a whole for me to say that the league has found some sort of blueprint.
The fact that Derrick Henry carried 11 times for 23 yards against the Browns last week is odd (27 of those 23 yards came after contact), but it’s not as if Cleveland solved this Todd Monken system … they gave up 41 points!
Henry is different from the Tier 1 backs in that he is going to have games like this. It happens every year.
Know why, if you weren’t a Henry manager, you are blind to these occurrences?
Because he erases all memory of them with a historic game sooner than later. Baltimore relies on Henry and no one knows how to slow this offense.
My math degree tells me that, by the transitive property, no one knows how to stop Henry.
He’s my RB3 this week.
