Derrick Henry's fantasy value takes a hit

• Ravens offense struggling without Jackson
• Henry faces stacked boxes and inefficiency
• Consider benching if you have depth

What happened

With Lamar Jackson out, the Ravens' offense is in disarray. Analysts are questioning whether fantasy managers should bench Derrick Henry, as the lack of a passing threat will likely result in opposing defenses stacking the box against him.

Fantasy impact

Henry is a risky start this week. His ceiling is significantly capped by the QB situation, making him a touchdown-dependent play. Consider benching him for RBs in more stable offensive environments.

What changes for the team

The offense becomes one-dimensional, making it difficult for Henry to find running lanes against stacked fronts.

What to do: Look for RB alternatives if you have depth on your bench.

Players: Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson
