News: 3 days agoHenry rushed 10 times for 60 yards and a touchdown while bringing in his only target for 44 yards in the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night.

Spin: Henry appeared well on his way to a stellar night when he rumbled for a 28-yard touchdown with 6:33 remaining in the first quarter, a run that turned out to be his longest of the night. However, game script would progressively turn against the Ravens' ground attack in the second half as the Bengals expanded their lead, leading to Henry's opportunities being significantly capped. The talented back's best play of the night actually came on his one catch, on which he carved out his longest gain of the season through the air. Henry has hit or eclipsed the 60-yard mark on the ground in eight consecutive games heading into a Week 14 home divisional clash against the Steelers on Sunday, Dec. 7.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Henry was �as advertised� in his first season with Baltimore, pacing all running backs in rushing TDs (16) and finishing no lower than fourth in carries, rushing yards, carries inside the 5 and fantasy points. Henry has now finished top 10 among RBs in rushing yards and TDs each of the last seven seasons, though he remains limited as a receiver (51st among RBs in targets last season). Henry is now 31 years old (ancient for a fantasy-relevant RB), but doesn't seem to have lost a step (top 3 in YPC and YAC last season). Henry's lack of targets limits his ceiling a bit, but his elite rushing output locks him in as a back-end RB1.
