Derrick Henry Scores Twice In Sluggish Day For Baltimore's Offense

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

The Jets entered this game allowing the 14th-most fantasy points to RBs, so we expected a run-centric approach from the Ravens. Henry earned 21 carries but was mostly held in check, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry. He punched in two TDs for a solid fantasy showing, but mostly looked sluggish. 

Henry is now averaging more than a full yard per carry less than he did last season. In 2024, Henry led the AFC with 1,921 rushing yards and led all RBs, averaging 5.9 yards per carry.

While Henry salvaged his day with the 2 TDs, Baltimore's passing attack fared far worse. 

Lamar Jackson completed 13 of 23 passes for just 153 yards and no TDs. 

Jackson has now been under 200 passing yards in three straight, with 1 total TD in those three contests.

Despite the lack of production, the Ravens have won each of those three contests, but fantasy managers are less impressed.

There was talk that Jackson wanted to run more against the Jets. He did attempt his second-most rushing attempts (7) but only managed to average 1.6 yards per carry.

Jackson may still be feeling the effects of the hamstring injury that cost him three games. Despite the lackluster Week 12 showing, Jackson remains a strong buy with the easiest remaining schedule for any signal caller.

As for Henry, he remains an RB1 due to his volume and nose for the end zone. The Ravens also have the second-easiest remaining schedule for RBs:

•Week 13 vs. Cincinnati

•Week 14 vs. Pittsburgh

•Week 15 at Cincinnati

•Week 16 vs. New England

•Week 17 at Green Bay

The only blemish on the upcoming schedule is in championship week against the Packers. But Henry should continue to see plenty of carries and TDs in the next month, which includes a pair of games against a Bengals' defense that has surrendered the most fantasy points to RBs this season.
