NFL Week 16 Player Props, Picks, Best Bets

Derrick Henry has come back down to earth after an Offensive Player of the Year-worthy first half.

The star running back has had fewer than 83.5 rushing yards in four of his last five games – his over/under at FanDuel Sportsbook for Saturday’s game in Baltimore.

He had exceeded that number in seven of his first nine games with the Ravens, including six straight in September and October.

And now Henry faces one of the toughest rush defenses in the NFL.

The Steelers have allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game (94.4) and the fifth-fewest yards per attempt (4.0) this season.

In the last game against Pittsburgh a month ago, Henry managed just 65 yards on the ground in the 18-16 loss – his second-lowest total of the season.

The Ravens have taken their foot off the gas when it comes to Henry in recent weeks, which explains some of his less than impressive numbers.

Henry was passed the ball fewer than 20 times in four of his last five games after tallying more than 20 rushing attempts in four of his first nine games with Baltimore.

He had just 67 rushing yards on 14 carries in last week’s blowout win over the Giants.


Betting on the NFL?


Henry has appeared in a little less than half of the Ravens’ offensive snaps in two of the last four games after playing 50 percent or better in eight straight games.

I hate to bet against King Henry, but this tough duel doesn’t come at the right time.
