Jacksonville Stifles Henry: Fantasy Football Week 9 Start Bhayshul Tuten Over Derrick Henry

Henry faces a tough defense

Henry averaged 100.3 rushing yards and scored six combined touchdowns across his first three games of the 2026 season. In his latest three, he averaged 52.0 rushing yards and scored once.

Each of the last three RB1s to face the Jaguars recorded fewer than 60 rushing yards. Two had fewer than 30, and the group scored one touchdown combined.

Tuten brings recent production

Against Indianapolis in Week 8, Tuten rushed 16 times for 101 yards and caught two passes for 55 yards. He scored twice and finished as the week’s RB2 in PPR formats.

Baltimore has allowed the 13th-fewest rushing yards per game, at 102.8, along with the eighth-fewest PPR and ninth-fewest standard fantasy points per game to running backs. In the Ravens’ last three games, opposing RB1s averaged 53.3 rushing yards and scored one touchdown combined. Two caught four passes, while Tuten has totaled six receptions for 103 yards and three touchdowns over his past two games.

Injury status may decide

Tuten is dealing with ankle and foot injuries and is considered a game-time decision. Fantasy managers should check his availability before setting their lineups. The recommendation is to start Tuten over Henry if Tuten is able to play. His recent receiving production gives him a stronger outlook, while Jacksonville’s defense poses a significant challenge for Henry. Henry could see a larger workload, but the account expects Jacksonville to focus on stopping him, especially with uncertainty around Baltimore’s passing game.
