Derrick Henry at Indianapolis — Primed for Heavy Volume in High-Scoring Road Opener

Derrick Henry enters Week 1 fully healthy and locked in as the unquestioned lead back for Baltimore, heading a backfield that features Justice Hill in a change-of-pace role. Entering his second season alongside Lamar Jackson, Henry enters the campaign with clear championship motivation and is once again slated for his trademark heavy rushing workload.

This week brings an appealing road matchup against the Colts in a dome environment with high scoring expectations. Baltimore enters as slight favorites, presenting an ideal game script for Henry to wear down the defense. Our weekly projection expects roughly 15 carries for 76 rushing yards and strong scoring equity (15.9 projected fantasy points), making him a must-start RB1 across all formats.

Outlook Chris Rodriguez

Chris Rodriguez vs CLE — Backup with upside if backfield opens up

Rodriguez enters the opener operating as Jacksonville's primary backup running back behind Bhayshul Tuten. With Tuten recently slowed by an illness and fellow reserve LeQuint Allen nursing a soft-tissue injury, Rodriguez could see an expanded rotational workload against Cleveland.

Jacksonville enters as a heavy home favorite, which could favor a ground-heavy attack late, but Rodriguez offers minimal involvement in the passing game. Our models project him for roughly 8 carries and 36 rushing yards (6.4 fantasy points). Given his sub-3% start rate across leagues, fantasy managers should keep him stashed on benches unless Tuten is officially ruled out.
