You Need To AVOID Derrick Henry In Fantasy Football✖️

FANTASY FOOTBALL EXPERT, FRANK AMMIRANTE: 

Derrick Henry has had a terrific career, so it’s no surprise that fantasy football players are excited to watch him go to work with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

But I’m here to explain why you should avoid Henry in your fantasy football drafts.

This is a veteran running back entering his age-30 season, coming off a year where he averaged 13.7 fantasy points per game (RB15) and put up a career-low 4.2 yards per carry…Read more below for my breakdown of Henry’s new fantasy situation…

🔥 Fantasy Football Rankings

Stay on top of Frank Ammirante’s fantasy football rankings, which are updated weekly to help you with your upcoming drafts.

Find out why waiting on your RB2 and targeting Javonte Williams looks like a great play.

The Broncos’ running back has looked great in camp and is currently undervalued due to Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime.

FANTASY FOOTBALL EXPERT, FRANK AMMIRANTE: 

…As I was saying about Derrick Henry’s fantasy outlook this season…

While playing with Lamar should boost Henry’s efficiency, the star quarterback will also take away rushing production while limiting targets.

Dual-threat quarterbacks target their running backs at much lower rates since their first move is to scramble rather than check it down.

While Henry should get a lot of touchdowns, so did Gus Edwards, who scored 13 times in this offense last year, yet finished as RB29 in fantasy PPG.

On top of that, as a Super Bowl contender, the Ravens have every incentive to manage the workload of their 30-year-old running back.

Expect to see Justice Hill on passing downs and two-minute situations. Head coach Jim Harbaugh has already stated that Hill will “play a lot.”

Not to mention that Keaton Mitchell should return from a torn ACL later in the season.

Steer clear of Henry at his current second-round average draft position (ADP).

🏆 NFL Power Rankings

The NFL preseason is set to kick off, so it’s a good time to review power rankings to get a sense of the best teams in football.

With Aaron Rodgers back to full health, the Jets look set to take the league by storm this year.

This should now be a competent offense to go along with an absolutely stacked defense.

Check out where the Jets rank in our power rankings.

 🏀 Olympic Basketball Odds

The next stage of the men's basketball tournament is soon to get underway at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Eight teams have advanced from the group phase, and they'll now navigate through a single-elimination bracket to determine who wins the gold medal.

Team USA is the favorite to take home the top prize, but after failing to reach the podium in last year's FIBA World Cup, should we be worried about a potential upset?
