Derrick Henry a Risky Option in Brutal Week 9 Matchup

Wednesday, November 4, 10:34 AM

Baltimore running back Derrick Henry is usually a must-start fantasy player, but a brutal matchup coming against Jacksonville creates some concern for the RB. Jacksonville has been the toughest fantasy matchup for running backs so far, and with some of the other circumstances on the Baltimore offense, it makes Henry a riskier fantasy option. Baltimore will be starting Joe Fagnano at quarterback. Not only was he on the injury report this week because of an ankle ailment, but he is the team's third QB after Lamar Jackson (finger) and Tyler Huntley (turf toe). In what could be a game in which the Ravens are playing from behind, that could also limit what Henry does as a ball carrier. The RB had just 13 touches last week in a lopsided loss and a touchdown run saved an otherwise lackluster performance. Henry ranks 21st among running backs in our RotoBaller Week 9 projections, so that puts him on the flex line and some might even bench him in standard leagues this week.

Brian Robinson News

Brian Robinson limited on Falcons estimated injury report Wednesday

Wednesday, November 4, 5:23 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report. The team held a walkthrough after arriving in Madrid for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against Cincinnati. Robinson has missed two straight games and did not practice last week. He has rushed for 211 yards and four touchdowns on 53 carries this season while serving as Bijan Robinson's backup. Khalil Herbert has handled backup duties during his absence. If Robinson returns, he could reclaim short-yardage opportunities, although his limited workload makes him touchdown-dependent for fantasy purposes. His status over the next two days should provide more clarity on his availability.
