Derrick Henry News
Saturday, October 31, 6:33 AM
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry currently leads the NFL in rushing attempts (147) and ranks sixth in the league in rushing yardage (579). He is tied for third in the NFL in rushing touchdowns (seven). However, Henry is currently averaging a career-low 3.9 yards per carry, and he has rushed for under 60 yards in each of his last two games. He rushed for a season-low 45 yards in a Week 7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. However, with starting quarterback Lamar Jackson back, things could open up for Henry and Baltimore's ground game in a Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have struggled to defend the pass (285.8 passing yards per game allowed), but have been better against the run, allowing 101.0 rushing yards per game (15th in the NFL). Henry will remain a high-volume tailback and a must-start player against the Bills. Henry ranks as RotoBaller's No. 5 running back for Week 8.

Ashton Jeanty News
Sunday, November 1, 1:22 PM
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty was informed before Sunday's Week 8 victory over the New York Jets that he would receive fewer carries, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed the decision was his after Jeanty finished with just two carries for nine yards, while rookie Mike Washington Jr. handled 25 attempts for 83 yards. Jeanty remained involved in the passing game, catching three of four targets for 64 yards, including a 45-yard reception that helped set up Las Vegas' go-ahead touchdown. Kubiak also clarified that Jeanty's comments earlier in the week about Jets defenders not wanting to tackle played no part in the decision. Despite the significant reduction in rushing opportunities, Kubiak maintained that Jeanty would remain a major part of the Raiders' offense moving forward.
