Derrick Henry, RB, Baltimore Ravens

Derrick Henry has topped 100 rushing yards just three times in nine games this season. He also has just six touchdowns, a stark contrast to the 14 he had this time last year. However, while Henry hasn’t been as efficient as last season, the veteran has still averaged 20 carries per game since the Baltimore Ravens’ Week 7 bye.

Henry’s next five games include two matchups with the hapless Bengals defense and the visit of the New York Jets, who offloaded significant talent at the trade deadline. The Ravens will be favorites for most, if not all, of their remaining games this season, and there should be plenty of run-friendly game scripts.

Henry has still been a productive back, but more consistent touchdowns would push him back up among the best in the game. After two weeks outside the top-12 fantasy backs, it’s worth making trade enquiries this week.

Brashard Smith, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

Brashard Smith is more of a speculative trade target this week, but his price should reflect that. The rookie back has mostly been limited to pass-catching work so far, but the Kansas City Chiefs have shown signs that they are looking to shake up their backfield.

With Isiah Pacheco struggling to regain the efficiency he had before his fibula injury last season, the Chiefs reportedly tried to move for Breece Hall before the trade deadline. That could also be seen as a vote of no confidence in Smith, but it indeed suggests that the team is ready to try something new.

Pacheco, also a seventh-round draft pick, did almost nothing before the bye week of his rookie year, before taking off after the break. Andy Reid’s offense takes some understanding, and Smith may become far more involved from Week 11 on.

As I said, this is a speculative, low-cost, upside shot, but Smith’s ceiling would be phenomenal if he emerges as a full-time back down the stretch.
