Derrick Henry has Tough Matchup in Week 10

Saturday, November 8, 9:41 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has gotten back on track over the last few games, and comes into Week 10 as the overall RB15 in half-PPR leagues. Across those last three games, Henry is averaging 104.0 yards and 0.7 touchdowns on 21.3 carries per game. The Minnesota Vikings, however, have been quite stout against the run for most of the season. They're ranked the 11th toughest defense against opposing backfields and limited the dynamic Detroit Lions' run game to just a total of 16 fantasy points last week. With that being said, Henry is projected as a low-end RB1 because Lamar Jackson's gravity can still account for a lot of openings on the ground.

Christian Watson Cleared From Injury Report, Good to Go for Week 11

Friday, November 14, 4:53 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee, hamstring) is off the injury report and is all set to play Sunday against the New York Giants. Watson was listed as limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, saying that he is still in the ramp-up stage in his return from the torn ACL suffered last season. There didn't seem to be any doubt in regards to his status for Week 11, however, and he should be a big part of Green Bay's passing attack against an exploitable Giants defense. The 26-year-old has had a healthy role in the three games since returning, posting the second-highest route share on the team at 70.1%, behind only Romeo Doubs. Watson is an explosive playmaker who Jordan Love likes to target downfield, but the production can be volatile.
