2024 Fantasy Outlook
Henry is one of a kind with no true case study for a player bearing his traits, making it especially difficult to make the right call on the question of physical decline -- something that's already difficult enough to determine for running backs. The decline always happens, but in Henry's case there's reason to suspect he can remain productive into his early 30s. As much as his career workload of 2,030 carries (2,186 including playoffs) is a concerning figure, it's defenders who tend to get the worst of the collisions that involve him, and there might be a different exchange rate of usage to decline for someone with his combination of size (6-3, 247) and speed. That combination could prove a dangerous fit in a Ravens offense that already spreads defenses thin with the rushing threat posed by Lamar Jackson. Good as Henry might be as a rusher for the Baltimore offense, he'll have a hard time matching his workloads from Tennessee and isn't likely to catch many passes (Justice Hill paced Baltimore running backs with 28 receptions in 16 games last year). The 30 year old may be even more reliant on touchdowns than in past seasons, though he at least figures to spend plenty of time in the red zone now that he's with a much better team.

The King shines on national stage
Henry ran for 199 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries while securing all three of his targets for 10 yards and another score in Sunday's 35-10 win over the Bills.
ANALYSIS
King Henry ruled supreme on Sunday Night Football from start to finish with his best game as a member of the Ravens. The longtime Tennessee tailback ripped off a franchise-high touchdown run of 87 yards on Baltimore's first offensive play of the night. It was steady sailing from there, as Henry proceeded to rack up over 200 combined yards with two trips to the end zone in a statement win over Buffalo. The 30-year-old has rumbled for 480 yards and five touchdowns in just four games with his new club. Fantasy managers should continue to ride King Henry's hot streak into next week's road tilt against the Bengals.

Henry's remarkable career appears to be trending downward somewhat, or at least that's true of the Titans in general, but he was still plenty capable in 2022 and settled any concerns regarding the foot injury that he suffered in 2021. Henry had no trouble planting the foot and inflicting his customary level of punishment on defenders, and encouragingly his big-play ability was about the same as ever. Henry's 10 carries of 20-plus yards last year are the second most of his career, and his four carries of 40-plus tied a career high from 2020. Not just that, but Henry showed real growth as a pass catcher, drawing a career-high 41 targets (previous high 31) and catching 33 for 398 yards (a new high by 192 yards). He'll turn 30 in January and is coming off four straight seasons with more than 20 carries per game, so the specter of decline understandably might give some fantasy investors pause, though it's difficult to tell what rules apply to a runner as freakishly built as the 247-pound Henry. Other running backs would've slowed down years ago with usage like Henry's, but it hasn't happened to him yet.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Heavy workload in 2024?
Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said Thursday that getting Henry to 300 carries in 2024 is a goal for the Ravens in 2024, Michael Baca of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Henry is the clear-cut RB1 for the Ravens, with Justice Hill projected to serve as the primary backup. Henry has registered 280-plus carries in four of the last five seasons, and he failed to reach that mark in 2021 due to a broken bone in his right foot. Since 2018, the veteran running back has led the league with 1,744 carries for 8,268 yards and 80 touchdowns. After spending the first eight seasons of his career with Tennessee, Henry will serve as a formidable one-two punch in the running game alongside quarterback Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.
