Henry’s workload has rebounded and the snap counts tell the clean story: 21 and 24 carries the last two games, after a quieter stretch. Those carries turned into 193 yards and two scores, and the Ravens are clearly comfortable leaning on a physical identity again. With Lamar Jackson back under center, Baltimore’s offense is more efficient and sustained—more first downs, more play-extension, more run-first sequences that naturally put attempts on Henry’s ledger.
Matchup matters here. Miami’s run defense has been gashed in recent weeks: long lines of 200, 124 and multiple TD games allowed to opposing backs show a systemic issue, not a one-off. The Bijan Robinson holdout last week felt like an exception; the tape otherwise shows a second level that over-commits and misses angles, which creates crease opportunities for a downhill back who thrives on contact and bouncebacks. Baltimore averages 133.4 rush yards as a unit; Miami concedes roughly 145.0. That gap is the core of this play.
Game script and short-week prep push the market toward more predictable, ground-heavy sequencing. Compressed weeks favor simpler calls—downhill runs, physical play-calling and fewer experimental packages—which benefits a bellcow. Lamar’s presence doesn’t cannibalize Henry’s touches; it amplifies them. Jackson’s high completion rate and big-play threat extend drives, leading to more early-down rushes and recycled attempts on second-and-manageable or third-and-short. If Baltimore holds a lead late, four-minute churn locks in additional attempts.
Volume profile checks out analytically and practically. Henry’s efficiency (4.7 ypc recently) invites loaded boxes, yet those boxes haven’t meaningfully reduced his carry totals—Baltimore keeps handing him the ball. I’m projecting 20–23 attempts in baseline scenarios, with upside in controlled-game scripts. Main risks are an early blowout that removes the need for clock chew or an injury/foul issue, but those are lower-probability events relative to the matchup-driven baseline. Play 18.5 at plus money; if you want extra upside, a small wager on 20+ carries makes sense too.
