Why It Matters: Minus Lamar Jackson (ankle), you knew the Ravens would lean on Henry. So did the Falcons. What we got could largely be called a stalemate as Henry only had one semi-explosive play and was mostly a grinder in averaging 4.3 yards per carry. While he did score once, Henry was also tackled twice inside the 1-yard line, which is a bitter pill for fantasy owners to swallow. There's hope that Jackson will return in Week 6, though Henry should remain locked in your lineup as an RB1 regardless of who is under center.
