Derrick Henry vs. Jacksonville — Lead Role in a Shorthanded Offense
Henry remains the clear lead back in Baltimore's offense ahead of Justice Hill, though the unit faces a major test with Lamar Jackson sidelined due to a thumb injury. With the Ravens enduring a three-game losing streak and trade speculation quietly surfacing, Henry will be counted on to stabilize the offense on Thursday night.
Our weekly projections expect Henry to see roughly 15 carries for 63 rushing yards and an edge in scoring opportunities with 13.8 projected fantasy points. While opposing fronts may stack the box without Jackson threatening outside, Henry's goal-line role keeps his floor secure, and fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

Dylan Sampson at New Orleans: Carving Out a High-Value Pass-Catching Role
Since returning from a knee injury on injured reserve, Sampson has quickly carved out a defined role as Cleveland's primary passing-down back behind Quinshon Judkins. Across his past two games, he has caught 9 of 11 targets for 94 receiving yards, providing explosive playmaking when given opportunities.
With fellow running back Raheim Sanders on injured reserve, Sampson's role in the rotation is firmly secure. Our weekly projection lands him at 8.4 PPR fantasy points, highlighted by nearly 3 receptions for 22 yards and 21 rushing yards. That pass-catching floor makes him a viable flex option in deeper leagues, especially if quarterback Deshaun Watson's concussion leads to a conservative, checkdown-heavy game plan against New Orleans.
