Outlook Derrick Henry
Primed for Heavy Home Volume Against the Winless Chargers
Healthy and staying in Baltimore after the Ravens turned away trade deadline inquiries, Henry remains the undisputed workhorse ahead of backup Justice Hill. However, the offense faces major hurdles with Lamar Jackson on injured reserve following thumb surgery and veteran Jacoby Brissett stepping in at quarterback. Without Jackson, Henry has averaged 3.9 yards per carry over his last two outings.
Even in an expected low-scoring, primetime ESPN matchup, being favored at home against the winless Chargers sets up a favorable rushing script as Baltimore looks to snap a four-game losing skid. Our weekly projection calls for roughly 18 carries, 73 rushing yards, and strong touchdown odds on his way to nearly 15 fantasy points. Fantasy managers should feel confident keeping him in lineups as a locked-in starter across all formats.

Outlook Corey Kiner
Expanded Backfield Opportunity for International Clash With Detroit
Corey Kiner is healthy ahead of this week's grass matchup in Munich. Although he sits behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson on the Patriots' depth chart, Stevenson is doubtful with a knee injury, opening the door for a larger committee workload. Kiner has maximized his recent touches, averaging 6.2 yards per carry over his past two games and scoring in his latest outing.
Fantasy managers have rushed to add him off waivers, pushing his roster rate past half of all leagues while modest start rates signal lingering caution. Our weekly projection pegs him for roughly 11 carries, 48 rushing yards, and 8.4 fantasy points in an expected high-scoring affair against a surging Lions squad. Minimal receiving work lowers his floor, making him a touchdown-dependent flex option.
