Should You Start or Sit Derrick Henry in Week 10?
Derrick Henry is “built different,” and there simply are no two ways about it.
I feel like we could start a Chuck Norris-like campaign surrounding just how different he is than other running backs, both current and historical. Henry has run for a score in 10 straight regular season games and is coming off his third multi-score effort of the season.
You could argue that he was scripted out of the first meeting with Cincinnati (44.1% of Baltimore’s rush attempts), and yet he still ran for 92 yards with a score. Henry has been a top-10 running back in six of his past seven and there are zero signs of fatigue in his profile.
Keaton Mitchell is nearing a return and could see action this week, a note worth having in your back pocket. He isn’t going to directly take food off of Henry’s plate, but if he were to show the explosive potential that we’ve seen from him in the past, that could result in quick possessions where Henry isn’t imposing his will upon the opposition.

PFN Insight on the Bengals’ Defense
The Cincinnati Bengals continue to be an above-average defense against bad offenses and then a bad defense against good offenses. That combination has meant that they have fallen to 4-5 this season and have yet to beat a team with more than two wins to their name in 2024.
Their inability to stop the run will make things difficult in Week 10 against the Baltimore Ravens, while their struggles to get pressures and sacks without sending extra men will also make it hard to stem the Ravens’ passing game. Compounding all that is that they rank 26th on third down and 27th in the red zone, which has resulted in them allowing 2.25 points per drive (25th).
