On ‘National Running Backs Day,’ Henry out-duels RB Bijan Robinson in a Sunday Night Football matchup with the Falcons to finish as the RB4 in Week 5 pending Monday Night Football. Henry handled 24 rush attempts for 102 yards while adding an 18-yard TD reception to complete a 21.0 PPR point performance.

Henry has now finished as RB6 or better in four of five weeks and is producing 22.8 PPR points per game, good for the RB4 spot on the season. The eleventh-year back trails only Jahmyr Gibbs, Kenneth Walker III, and Bijan Robinson for the top RB spot.
He’s doing it on high-end rushing volume, with his latest performance being the most recent example. He accounted for a 68.6% carry share to put his season average at 72.0%, ranking fourth among RBs. That equates to a fifth-ranked 93.5 rushing yards per game.
While Henry did account for 8.9 receiving PPR points on Sunday night, he’s not expected to garner much of his production as a receiver out of the backfield, as indicated by his 1 target. His 6.1% target share ranks 47th among RBs and would still be his highest mark since 2023.
The high-end rushing producer faces a Browns defense in Week 6 that’s fresh off allowing an RB1 performance to Jets RB Braelon Allen.
