    Derrick Henry rushed 26 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens’ Week 3 win over the Cowboys.

    Fantasy managers won’t balk at the production Henry provided their lineups in Sunday’s win over the Cowboys, but the Big Dog was largely bottled up against a suddenly stingy defensive front. Henry’s longest run came on a 29-yard burst in the third quarter that helped set up a Chris Moore receiving touchdown, but that run also accounted for 32.6 percent of Henry’s yards on the ground. He averaged a very underwhelming 2.4 YPC on his other 25 carries on the day and was tackled for a three-yard loss on a fourth-and-goal from the Cowboys’ one-yard line. The good news is Henry remains the unquestioned bell cow in the Ravens’ backfield, and he has a Week 4 revenge game against the Titans on tap. He’ll be a must start RB1 in what should be a plus matchup.
Lamar's return to the field remains uncertain
Mike Florio discusses Lamar Jackson's injury, as it's still unclear when the Baltimore Ravens quarterback will return to the field.

    Henry has rushed 34 times for 93 scoreless yards in his last two games, and has seen 10 of those carries go for zero yards or a loss. Injuries to the Ravens’ offensive line continue to plague the running game, and the loss of rookie RG Vega Ioane (knee) in the first quarter didn’t do anything to help the Ravens’ rushing woes. Henry has just one touchdown in the three starts by Tyler Huntley and has just six carries inside his opponents’ 10-yard line over that span. Baltimore’s sluggish offense under Huntley hasn’t boded well for Henry’s fantasy upside, but with Lamar Jackson (ankle) expected back for Week 8’s game against the Bills, Henry should be in line for more scoring opportunities. He will be a fringe RB1 next week.

    Henry continues to struggle on the ground, as this marks the third time in four games that he has been held under 4.0 YPC. In fairness to the Big Dog, he averaged less than one yard before contact per attempt in this one, and six of his 17 rush attempts went for no gain or a loss of yards. Henry totaled 28 rushing yards on his first two carries on a drive that eventually ended with a Ravens touchdown, but yards were hard to come by the rest of the way. He’s now gone two-straight weeks without a rushing touchdown, but will hopefully be in better position to score next week against the Bengals if Lamar Jackson (ankle) is back under center.

    Henry also tacked on a successful two-point conversion to further pad his counting stats. The King erupted for 59 yards in the first half before being largely held in check for the final two quarters with the Ravens playing from behind. He would watch from the sidelines for the duration of the team’s final possession in the two-minute drill but came on the field to tie the game with a two-point conversion on a direct snap. The Falcons were no match for Henry in the extra frame, with the bruising back tacking on an additional 32 yards on the ground on the team’s lone overtime possession. Henry continues to turn back the clock while notching his eighth touchdown in five appearances, having scored in every game to start the season. He remains an elite RB1 ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Browns.

    This week marks the second straight game in which Henry averaged less than 4.0 YPC. Fortunately for fantasy managers, he did manage to find the end zone on a five-yard score on the Ravens’ first drive and was relied on heavily in the second half when Lamar Jackson exited the game with an ankle injury. This wasn’t a flashy game for Henry, who was held to three or fewer yards on 16 of his 23 rush attempts. That said, he continues to be the only Ravens RB of note and remains in the RB1 mix for next week’s game against the Falcons.

    Henry didn’t provide his signature explosive plays in this one, with his longest carry of the afternoon coming on an eight-yard run. On the Ravens’ second drive of the game, Henry turned seven touches into 45 yards from scrimmage, thanks in part to a screen pass he took for 19 yards, and capped the drive with a one-yard score to give the Ravens an early 7-0 lead. He averaged a respectable 4.3 YPC on the day, but the Saints were able to hold Henry in check for much of the afternoon. That said, fantasy managers won’t be mad at the production. He gets a plus matchup next week on the road against the Cowboys.

    Age continues to be just a number for Henry. The 32-year-old bell cow handled 24 of the backfield’s 30 carries on Sunday, averaging an impressive 6.0 YPC while ripping off four gains of 10-plus yards. Henry did his part to keep the Ravens on schedule all afternoon, and wound up finding the end zone three times on Sunday. His first score, which came on a four-yard plunge in the first quarter, was followed by a 32-yard score in the second quarter, in which Henry shook off two tackles on his way into the end zone. He would add a third score early in the fourth quarter for good measure while pushing the Ravens’ lead to 38-16. It’s only one game, but Henry doesn’t look like he’s lost a step heading into his 11th season. He’ll be on the RB1 radar in Week 2 in a plus matchup against the Saints.

    In an appearance for the Up & Adams show, Henry said, “when I hang it up, Baltimore is the last place I want to be.” The 32-year-old later followed up on social media by saying he “would like” to finish his career with the Ravens, but clarifying he “never said anything about retiring.” Henry is still producing at a high level and is not headed for retirement just yet. However, when he does consider retirement, he hopes to close out his career with the Ravens. Henry has produced 3,516 rushing yards and 32 rushing touchdowns in two seasons with the Ravens and is currently under contract through 2027.

    Hill ended 2025 on injured reserve because of a neck issue. He was reportedly a cut candidate during the offseason and the team selected Clemson running back Adam Randall on Day Three of the draft. It seemed possible that the team planned on replacing Hill this year, but Zrebiec shot that idea down, at least for the start of the season. Zrebiec answered, “I can’t see that happening from the jump,” in reference to a question about Randall opening the season as Baltimore’s backup running back. Hill caught 21 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown in 10 games last year. He also punched in a pair of touchdowns on the ground despite running just 18 times. His ceiling is extremely limited, even in the event of a Henry injury, but Hill should have some standalone RB4 value in PPR leagues.

    Henry got the party started with a 41-yard dash to open the game. Outside of that, there wasn’t a ton of room for the 32-year-old, but it’s another strong game for a running back who has defied aging. He finished 36 yards behind James Cook for the NFL lead. Regression will come for Tractorcito at some point, but nothing that happened in the 2025 campaign suggests it is coming soon. Even with little involvement in the passing game, it’s hard to imagine that he won’t be a fantasy RB1 again next year.

    Henry now has more 200 yard rushing games (7) than any player in NFL history. He wasn’t targeted in the passing game, because why would you need to? Three of his touchdowns came in the first half, and he routinely ran over completely overmatched Green Bay defenders in yet another impressive effort for the 31-year-old. Keaton Mitchell was somehow able to get nine carries for 31 yards as his (beyond) clear backup on a day where Baltimore rushed for 307 total yards in Lambeau Field. Even if Lamar Jackson (back) returns for Week 18 against the Steelers, Henry is going to be the focal point of the Ravens’ offense for that contest. He has to be.

    Kendrick Bourne caught 3-of-6 targets for nine yards in the Cardinals’ Week 7 loss to the Broncos.

    Bourne and Jalen Brooks each saw six targets, though neither was awfully productive. Brooks weny for 35 yards but only caught one pass. Bourne brought down half of his targets at a dreadful 1.5 yards per target. Bourne will hold a slight edge in the Week 8 rankings when Arizona takes on Dallas, but neither Arizona WR2 will be more than a desparation FLEX play.

    Michael Wilson caught 4-of-8 targets for 55 yards in the Cardinals’ Week 7 loss to the Broncos.

    Jacoby Brissett once again tried to get Wilson going downfield, but the best he could muster was 16 yards on their longest connection. Without a long play to juice the box score, Wilson was held under 10 PPR points for the third week in a row. All three of those games have been on the heels of the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade. The target totals have held steady, but the production is lacking. The good news for Wilson is that he gets the Cowboys in Week 8. Facing one of the league’s worst pass defenses, Wilson will stick in the WR2 ranks next week.

    Trey McBride caught 10-of-13 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals’ Week 7 loss to the Broncos.

    The Cardinals couldn’t get much going on offense, but that’s not a problem for McBride. He accounted for 27 percent of the team’s targets and was the only Cardinal to find the end zone on the day. McBride did so on a seven-yard strike from Brissett in the third quarter. Despite posting weekly TE1 numbers, this is McBride’s first 100-yard outing of the season. Facing a laughable Dallas defense next week, McBride will likely clock in as the TE1 overall in the weekly rankings.

    Taylor Moton suffered a fractured fibula in the Panthers’ Week 7 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Moton returned in Week 6 from offseason blood clot treatment but will now miss the remainder of the 2027 season after fracturing his fibula in the Week 7 loss to the Buccaneers. The Carolina offensive line depth takes another hit as they look to salvage a sinking season. Expect rookie Monroe Freeling to enter the starting lineup at left tackle.

    Mike Washington, Jr. had six rushes for 27 yards in the Raiders’ Week 7 loss to the Rams.

    As usual, Washington was far more efficient than lead back Ashton Jeanty, who had 15 yards on eight carries while catching eight passes for 61 yards and a touchdown. Washington can be stashed for now in case Jeanty misses time in the second half of the season. Washington likely won’t get the pass-catching work if Jeanty misses time, however.

    Jameson Williams caught 5-of-9 targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns in the Lions’ Week 7 win over the Packers.

    Williams wasted little time getting involved early in this one. On the Lions’ fifth play of the game, he ripped off a 24-yard gain to the ball to the Packers’ 16-yard line. On the next play, Williams came in motion and snuck out of the Lions’ backfield to turn a short pass into a 16-yard score, giving the Lions their first points of the day. Williams would find the end zone again in the third quarter on a 10-yard touchdown, and on the following drive, he nearly scored again were it not for a Packers defender knocking him out of the back of the end zone on a catch. Williams’ big-play ability was on display all night, as three of his five receptions went for 15-plus yards. Williams now has back-to-back two-touchdown performances to his name and has gone for 90-plus yards in two of his last three games. His volume continues to be inconsistent, but Williams is capable of breaking any game open at a moment’s notice. He will be a fringe WR2/WR2 in what could be a tough Week 8 matchup against the Vikings.

    Tyler Higbee caught 2-of-3 targets for 14 yards in the Rams’ Week 7 win against the Raiders.

    It was Davis Allen who caught two of Matthew Stafford’s three touchdown tosses as the Rams leaned into heavy three tight end-set usage with Davante Adams sidelined indefinitely with a hamstring injury. Though Higbee led Rams tight ends in pass routes, his lack of red zone involvement left him out in the statistical cold. Trying to figure out which LA tight end is going to go off in a given week is going to be a continual headache for fantasy gamers in the coming weeks.
