Derrick Henry Still An RB1 Without Lamar Jackson

Saturday, October 4, 2:05 PM

Even without MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring), Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry still should be considered an RB1 candidate when his team takes on the Houston Texans in Week 5. The veteran running back is coming off a low-volume dud last week during a blowout loss at Kansas City, but should be the focal point of the Baltimore offense on Sunday. Houston allows opponents to score at the lowest rate in the NFL, but is only middle of the pack against fantasy running backs. The Ravens will need Henry to be involved early and often, which should keep him locked into fantasy lineups.

Evan Engram Remains a Non-Factor Despite First Touchdown

Thursday, October 9, 10:56 AM

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram found the end zone for the first time this season in Week 5, but his overall production remains underwhelming. Through five games, Engram has caught 12 of 19 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown while struggling to carve out a consistent role in Denver's offense. Engram continues to split reps with Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins, limiting his snap share to just 41%, which ranks 56th among all tight ends. He also ranks 30th in route participation (53.9%) and 27th in fantasy points per game, highlighting his diminished opportunity in Sean Payton's offense. The Broncos face the New York Jets in Week 6, who have allowed the sixth most fantasy points to tight ends this season, but until Engram's usage increases, he's best left on the waiver wire in most formats.
