31 Oct
Summary
- Derrick Henry surpassed Walter Payton for 5th on NFL's all-time rushing TDs list
- Henry and Ravens visit Dolphins for Thursday Night Football in Week 9
- Lamar Jackson expected to return from hamstring injury
In a Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears, Ravens running back Derrick Henry surpassed NFL great Walter Payton to move into 5th place on the league's all-time rushing touchdowns list. Now, Henry and the Ravens will travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins in a Thursday Night Football matchup in Week 9.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to return to the lineup after missing last week's game due to a hamstring injury. With Jackson back to command the defense's attention, Henry is poised to be a focal point of the Ravens' offense. The model predicts that Henry will score nearly 1 touchdown on average, despite the premium odds of -200 for him to find the end zone.
Beyond Henry's scoring prowess, the Ravens have the potential to get on a roll with their schedule lightening up. The team will look to build momentum with Jackson back under center. As for the Dolphins, they have struggled at times this season, but their running back Raheem Mostert has also proven to be a reliable touchdown scorer, according to the model's predictions.
