The Baltimore Ravens will be rolling out backup QB Lamar Jackson this week, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rushing.As it relates to air yards, Derrick Henry ranks in the lofty 85th percentile among running backs this year, averaging an astounding 2.0 per game. (because they are often targeted behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more noteworthy than it appears since most RBs average negative air yards).With an excellent 8.79 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) (91st percentile) since the start of last season, Derrick Henry ranks among the leading pass-game running backs in the NFL in the open field.This year, the shaky Miami Dolphins defense has conceded a whopping 41.0 adjusted receiving yards per game to opposing RBs: the 6th-worst in the NFL.The Miami Dolphins pass defense has been gouged for the 3rd-highest Adjusted Completion% in the NFL (91%) vs. running backs this year (91.0%).
