Derrick Henry Pushes Scoring Streak To Eight Games

Sunday, October 27, 9:20 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry scored a late touchdown to continue his scoring streak and salvage his day for fantasy managers. The King ended with 73 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. He also hauled in his lone target for four yards. This game looked bleak for the offense as a whole while they failed to convert on many third downs and the Browns got out to a second-half lead. Luckily, Henry punched in a goal-line score near the end of the fourth quarter to deliver a borderline RB1 performance. He'll look to get back to his big outputs against the Denver Broncos in Week 9.

Josh Downs Goes Over 100 Yards, Finds End Zone In Loss

Monday, October 28, 12:00 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs led his team's receiving corps in catches and yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans, reeling in four for 109 yards and a score. Downs was the only Colt to amass more than one reception in the contest with quarterback Anthony Richardson completing just 10 of 32 passes, and he nearly scored another touchdown but was down just shy of the end zone. The 23-year-old was also credited with 13 rush yards. Despite the solid effort, the former third-round draft pick will be volatile with such poor quarterback play and hard to trust on a weekly basis. In Week 9, the Colts will face the Vikings who have had seven wideouts record 78 or more receiving yards through seven games, so there's a chance he could have some Flex appeal, especially if Joe Flacco happened to be under center instead of Richardson.
