Derrick Henry News
Sunday, October 25, 12:46 PM
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry still carries a substantial workload, but poor efficiency and a lack of scoring chances have produced consecutive fantasy disappointments, including just 45 rushing yards on 17 carries without a touchdown in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Henry averaged a season-low 2.6 yards per attempt, with his longest run gaining only nine yards. He also caught one of two targets for four yards, finishing with 5.9 PPR fantasy points. Baltimore led 13-0 at halftime but failed to score after the break, with three trips inside Cincinnati's 15-yard line producing only six points. Henry has now rushed for 103 yards on 34 carries without a touchdown over his last two games, including a 58-yard performance against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6 that featured a lost fumble. Baltimore visits the Buffalo Bills in Week 8, when Lamar Jackson (ankle) could potentially return after missing three games.

Kenneth Walker News
Sunday, October 25, 9:59 PM
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker rushed 14 times for 36 yards and caught four of five targets for 21 yards in his team's 20-3 loss to the hosting Seattle Seahawks. Walker was shut down by his former team in this one. Week 7 marked the first time the fifth-year pro failed to rush for 100 yards or score a touchdown in 2026, as Kansas City's passing game stalled. Fortunately for fantasy managers, he salvaged his day with some receiving production, but it was an all-around dud for the league's leading rusher heading into the weekend. With that subpar outing behind him, Walker can turn his sights on a much more beatable Denver Broncos run defense in Week 8. Including Sunday's win over Arizona, Denver's D ranks in the bottom five in rushing yards per game (133.3), setting up an excellent rebound opportunity for the Tennessee native.
