Should You Start or Sit Derrick Henry in Week 7?
We are running out of superlatives when it comes to Henry and his production as a Raven.
OK, so that’s a lie. We are never going to run out of positive notes for someone producing at this level. Here is some information from our weekly NFL Week 7 Stats and Insights piece:
“The Ravens have rattled off four straight wins, and if you extend Derrick Henry’s rushing production for those contests over an entire season, he will finish with 2,440 rushing yards (NFL record: 2,105) and 25.5 rushing touchdowns (NFL record: 28).”
The Buccaneers aren’t the stout run defense they were a season ago (27th in EPA and four instances in which an opposing running back has reached 17 fantasy points), making this another smash spot for the King.
