Derrick Henry Opens Season with 3 TDs vs. Colts

Sunday, September 13, 12:32 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry had 24 carries for 144 yards and three touchdowns in a dominant 41-23 performance against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1. Henry gave Baltimore its first big lead of the game in the first quarter when he rushed for four yards to give the Ravens a 14-6 lead. He added to the tally with a 32-yard run with 5:04 remaining in the half to give the visitors a 28-6 advantage. The 32-year-old veteran had 307 carries for 1,595 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2025, and he remains a leader for the Ravens' offense alongside quarterback Lamar Jackson, even as the team went through significant changes in the offseason. Sunday's showdown in Indianapolis reiterates that Henry is a fantasy juggernaut week in and week out. He is a locked-in RB1 across fantasy formats.

Chase Brown News

Chase Brown Heavily Involved In Week 1

Sunday, September 13, 1:13 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown rushed 16 times for 56 yards and a touchdown in the 33-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brown also hauled in five catches for 22 yards on six targets. Brown was tied with tight end Mike Gesicki for the most receptions on the team. Brown was able to pick up the slack for star receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who had an uncharacteristic quiet game. The star back was inefficient on the ground (3.5 YPC), but was able to get home for fantasy based on the volume of opportunities. Brown should be counted on again in next week's contest against the Houston Texans. The Houston defense was one of the most feared units in 2025, but Brown has an elite workload on an elite offense so fantasy managers should have no issues plugging him right back into lineups. Brown should be considered a strong RB1 heading into Week 2 despite the tough matchup that lies ahead.
