Running backs arenโ€™t exactly known for their shelf life and overall value in the modern NFL, but Derrick Henry has been the exception that proves the rule.ย 

When his time ran short in Nashville, many NFL fans assumed Henry would become just another former star, playing out the string in an unfamiliar jersey.

Instead, Henry has continued to dominate opposing defenses, continuing to churn out yards. In fact, heโ€™s found new life in Baltimore as the more traditional, old-school cog in a dynamic ground game.

Between Henry and Lamar Jackson, Baltimoreโ€™s offense is a real threat to the Chiefs in the AFC. Bettors are keeping a close eye on Ravens odds this season.ย
