Derrick Henry News
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.

David Montgomery News
Sunday, September 13, 8:36 PM
Houston Texans running back David Montgomery had a debut to remember with his new team. The 29-year-old totaled 20 carries, 60 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns. He also contributed in the passing game with three catches, 19 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. The Texans came up short against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1, but Montgomery certainly isn't to blame. He consistently found ways to get into the end zone when the Texans were in scoring range, allowing the score to stay close throughout the entire second half. Perhaps even more notable is the fact that Woody Marks had just nine carries, which means Montgomery finished with more than two-thirds of the Texans' running back carries in this game. The yardage efficiency numbers weren't great, but none of that matters if he can continue to be a surefire threat to score around the goal line. After proving himself with his new team, Montgomery has jumped to the mid-to-high RB2 tier for Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
