Derrick Henry Faces Another Tough Defense In Week 12

Saturday, November 23, 9:04 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry cooled off a bit over the last couple of weeks compared to his huge outputs through the first nine weeks. He's gone up against solid defensive units and will try to find some running room against even better ones over the next two weeks. In Week 12, the Ravens take on the Los Angeles Chargers who are the third toughest team against backfields. They only allow 14.6 fantasy points per game to opposing running back groups in half-PPR formats. While Henry remains a must-start, fantasy managers may want to temper expectations in this matchup since he could end up around a low-end RB1.

Xavier Legette Has Sturdy Outing In Week 12

Monday, November 25, 3:03 AM

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette recorded four receptions for 56 yards in the team's 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It was the second-most yards in a game for Legette this year, who has had some bumps adjusting to the NFL. He was in position to set his career high but dropped a beautiful deep ball from Bryce Young that would have been a 33-yard reception. Still, the rook made some nice plays, including a 34-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter. He remains a low-end streaming option moving forward and is on the flex radar in deep leagues against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13.
