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.
James Cook | BUF (vs TB)
James Cook fought an ankle issue for much of last week, but wasn’t on the final injury report, and it didn’t seem to be an issue with him catching five balls against the Dolphins (one reception in the month prior).
He did, however, lose a fumble inside the 30-yard line and posted a game without a 20-yard gain for the fifth time in six contests.
I’m not at all sounding the alarm in terms of worry because there’s no real competition for work. A bet on Cook is essentially a bet on Buffalo, and recent history has taught us that we make that bet.
Cook Scoring Splits, Last 17 Games
- Wins: 21.5 PPR points per game, 46% over expectations
- Losses: 7.6 PPR points per game, 26.4% below expectations
Compared to last season, Cook’s gain rate (88.6%) and chunk rush rate (13.9%) are both pacing favorably, trends that have led many to view him as an easy top-10 option at the position the rest of the way.
David Montgomery | DET (at PHI)
No one skill has dramatically dipped from last season, but David Montgomery is losing on the fringes everywhere.
- 2024
- 14.7% above PPR expectations
- 0.80 points per rush
- 13.2 carries per game
- 41.5% snap share
- 85.4% rush gain rate
- 2025
- 6.1% above PPR expectations
- 0.73 points per rush
- 11.6 carries per game
- 41.5% snap share
- 84.6% rush gain rate
The volume is trending down, but not enough on its own to sink him. Where Montgomery managers are feeling the squeeze is the 34.2% decline in red-zone touches per game, and with Jahmyr Gibbs running wild, there’s zero reason to think things will improve over time.
Dan Campbell took over the offensive play-calling last week, and while Montgomery got his work, Gibbs topped him in touches in each of the first three quarters before the game got out of hand.
This is a tough matchup, but it wouldn’t shock me if Detroit played a bit of a smash-mouth brand of ball against an Eagles team on a shorter week after playing on Monday night. I’ve got Montgomery ranked as a low-end RB2, ahead of both running backs for the Vikings, Giants, Seahawks, and Bears, to name a few.
The upside may not be there, but you’re getting double-digit touches in an explosive offense than at this point in the season; that’s the profile of a fantasy starter.
De’Von Achane | MIA (vs WAS)
De’Von Achane plays for a Dolphins team that hasn’t been in the news for positive on-the-field reasons for much of this season, and I think that has some overlooking just how good a player we are looking at.
Profile 1
- 36.1% over PPR expectations
- 25.3 PPR PPG
- 5.0 receptions per game
Profile 2
- 20.2% over PPR expectations
- 26.6 PPR PPG
- 4.2 receptions per game
Both of those résumés are obviously impressive, but can you place them?
I’ll buy you some time to guess.
He ripped off a pair of impressive touchdown runs in the fourth quarter last weekend against the Bills, helping them get that upset to the finish line. The first was a 59-yard burst where he’s one of very few who cashes it in thanks to his rare blend of agility, power, and speed; the second a 35-yarder that iced the game.
With this island game, I hope that more people will be exposed to Achane than on a standard Sunday when plays are happening left and right. This is a player that I think could have a real case to be the top running back selected ahead of the 2026 season.
- Profile 1: Achane in wins or one-score games this season
- Profile 2: The best season of Todd Gurley’s career
