Derrick Henry Rested On Thursday

Thursday, September 21, 6:30 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (toe) missed practice on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday. King Henry's absence from Thursday's practice was a combination of his toe injury and rest purposes, but fantasy managers shouldn't be worried at all that he's in danger of missing a Week 3 game against the Cleveland Browns. As long as the 29-year-old is back at practice on Friday, he should be a must-start in all fantasy lineups on Sunday. Through the first two games of 2023, Henry has 40 carries for 143 yards (3.6 yards per carry) and a touchdown, adding five catches on seven targets for 71 additional yards.

Javonte Williams' Role Should Continue To Grow

Thursday, September 21, 11:22 PM

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams was expected to be eased into the offense early in 2023 after tearing his ACL and LCL in Week 4 of 2022. He's played exactly 45% of the offensive snaps in two games so far this year and has handled 25 carries for 96 yards (3.8 yards per carry) while catching six passes for 19 yards on nine targets. Despite averaging just over seven half-PPR points through two weeks, it was encouraging to see Williams get all but three of the carries in Denver's backfield in the Week 3 loss to the Washington Commanders. The 23-year-old's workload should only continue to grow as the season goes on, and in Week 3 he'll face a Miami Dolphins defense that has allowed the fourth-most half-PPR points to RBs through two games. Williams will be an RB2/3 in fantasy with a chance for his first breakout game in 2023.
