Derrick Henry is back in the world after winning the Offensive Player of the Year award in the first half.
The star running back has fewer than 83.5 rushing yards (over/under at FanDuel Sportsbook for Saturday's game against Baltimore) in four of his last five games.
He exceeded that number in seven of his first nine games with the Ravens, including six straight games in September and October.
And now Henry faces the toughest rushing defense in the NFL.
Steelers vs. Ravens odds
| team | spread | money line | total |
|---|---|---|---|
| steelers | +6.5 (-115) | +235 | o44.5 (-110) |
| ravens | -6.5 (-105) | -290 | u44.5 (-110) |
This season, the Steelers have allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game (94.4) and fifth-fewest rushing yards per attempt (4.0).
In the last game against Pittsburgh a month ago, Henry gained just 65 yards on the ground in an 18-16 loss, his second-lowest total of the season.
The Ravens have eased off on Henry in recent weeks, accounting for some of his eye-popping numbers.
After recording 20 or more rushing attempts in four of the first nine games against Baltimore, Henry has been handed the ball fewer than 20 times in four of the last five games.
In last week's blowout win against the Giants, he had just 67 rushing yards on 14 carries.
Do you want to bet on the NFL?
Henry has played just under half of the Ravens' offensive snaps in two of the past four games after posting eight straight games at 50 percent or higher.
I don't like betting on King Henry, but this tough matchup isn't the right time.
