Derrick Henry Rushes for Two Scores in Week 12 Victory

Sunday, November 23, 6:48 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry struggled to find much room to run during Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Luckily for fantasy managers, Henry was able to find the end zone a few times, or it would've been an ugly outing. Henry rushed the ball 21 times for 64 yards with two touchdowns in the win over the Jets. His 3.0 yard-per-carry mark wasn't ideal, but the volume of carries and his ability to find the end zone kept him in RB1 territory. The veteran back will get an excellent matchup against the horrible Cincinnati Bengals run defense next week.

Jordan Whittington Lacks Volume Despite Sizable Snap Share

Saturday, November 22, 4:35 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has maintained a sizable snap share within his offense, but he continues to be a low-volume option. He has played at least 40% of the snaps in every game he has been healthy for this season, but he hasn't surpassed 6.2 fantasy points (PPR) in a single contest so far. In fact, over his last two full games, he has just one target, one catch, and nine receiving yards. The Texas product has also started to see more special teams opportunities, returning a pair of kicks in Week 11. Now, even in a relatively favorable matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12, Whittington is not a reliable fantasy option. He ranks as the overall WR89 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings. As long as Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are healthy, Whittington can be left on waivers.
