NFL Network's Tom Pelissero has confirmed what we all suspected: that the team "fully" expects RB Derrick Henry to be ready for full use against the Jaguars in Week 18. Henry is doubtful for tonight's game against the Cowboys, listed with a hip issue. But he finished the week with 2 limited practices. He's clearly just being held out of a game that has no bearing on the Titans' playoff hopes. Pelissero added that rookie RB Hassan Haskins is in for a big role and didn't mention RB Julius Chestnut in his report. So Haskins sounds like the guy if you need a Titans runner. We wouldn't go out of our way to target this situation, however, in what Vegas projects to be the lowest-scoring offense of Week 17.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Jackson is still reeling from an injury that has kept him out since Week 13. It remains to be seen if we will see Jackson in Week 17 action vs. the Steelers on Sunday night. The practice week is still early though. We'll know more by tomorrow.
The Titans list RB Derrick Henry as doubtful for Thursday night's game against the Cowboys. He has been listed with a hip issue all week but put in limited practices Tuesday and Wednesday after sitting out Monday. This is clearly a move by the Titans to save up some key players for a Week 18 meeting with the Jaguars that will determine whether they make the playoffs. With Henry out and Dontrell Hilliard already on IR, the Titans will turn to Hassan Haskins and Julius Chestnut. With 11 and 5 carries for the season, respectively -- 7 and 2 targets -- neither is a strong bet to grab the clear backfield lead. Try to avoid this offense altogether in your Week 17 fantasy football lineups.
Tennessee's Week 18 game against the Jaguars will determine the AFC South champion. The Titans can't get a Wild Card spot, which makes their game vs. the Cowboys on Thursday night meaningless. Jim Wyatt of the team's official website believe the Titans will hold out some starters out of that one. The big question, of course, is whether that will include RB Derrick Henry. We'll keep you updated on the situation. If Henry is held out, rookie Hassan Haskins would step in as Tennessee's lead back and enter the RB3/Flex conversation.
Ravens HC John Harbaugh wouldn't say Monday if he expects to get QB Lamar Jackson (knee) back for Sunday night's game vs. the Steelers. "We'll just have to see," Harbaugh said when asked if Jackson will practice this week. The Ravens clinched a playoff spot with the Week 16 win over the Falcons but are still fighting for the AFC North title, needing to win the final 2 games to wrap it up. We'll keep you updated on Jackson's status throughout the week.
Titans RB Derrick Henry (hip) was listed as a non-participant at practice on Monday. The Titans are set to face the Cowboys on Thursday night in Week 16. With the quick turnaround, it'll be essential to see Henry log some participation soon. However, this injury didn't seem to affect the veteran on Saturday vs. the Texans. That certainly bodes well for his Week 17 availability. We'll keep an eye on this as we get closer to Thursday.
Titans RB Derrick Henry rushed 23 times for 126 yards and a TD in Saturday's loss to the Texans. That marked a disappointing performance vs. his previous 4 meetings with the Texans, each of which found Henry exceeding 210 rushing yards and scoring at least 2 TDs. But it's tough to complain about the big guy averaging 5.5 yards per rush against a defense that knew he was coming the whole time. Henry boosted that by scoring his TD from 48 yards out, meaning that he averaged 3.5 yards on his other 22 attempts. He gets a tougher matchup with the Cowboys on Thursday night of Week 17.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews led the team in targets (5), receptions (3) and receiving yards (45) in Sunday's win over the Falcons. But he didn't have much chance to deliver truly helpful fantasy football stats. Baltimore attempted just 17 passes for the game. QB Tyler Huntley completed 9 of those for 115 yards and 1 TD. We'll see whether QB Lamar Jackson can make it back for a Week 17 home date with the Steelers.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson's status for Week 17 remains uncertain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jackson has yet to practice since going down with a sprained PCL in Week 13. He's been doing some straight-line running, per Rapoport, and is expected to get back on the field for "football-related movements" this coming week. But whether he plays vs. the Steelers next weekend will depend on how that knee responds and Baltimore's standing in the playoff race. Jackson is more likely to play if the Ravens lose to the Falcons today, which would leave a playoff spot still in doubt. Stay tuned.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) did not practice again on Wednesday. Backup Tyler Huntley (right shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion after not appearing on the injury report on Tuesday. It seems fantasy managers should not anticipate having Jackson available. The troubling issue here is that it's unclear who will start on Saturday vs. the Falcons given the Huntley development. Check back tomorrow once we learn more.
Titans RB Derrick Henry was listed as a DNP on the injury report on Wednesday with an undisclosed "non-injury related" designation. Henry had been listed as limited on Tuesday, so this is a bit odd. It is hard to give fantasy advice based on this little information. We'll keep you posted as we learn more about this news.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) did not practice on Tuesday. The former MVP is still dealing with an injury that has kept him out since Week 13. Wednesday’s report will be telling as to whether or not we will see Jackson in action vs. the Falcons on Saturday. Jackson would be considered a top 10 option at the position for fantasy if he does play. Check back as we learn more information.
Titans RB Derrick Henry delivered 104 yards and a TD on 21 carries in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. It marked his 2nd straight game over 100 yards and just his 2nd time reaching 20 carries among the past 7 contests. Henry also led Tennessee with 59 receiving yards Sunday, catching all 4 of his targets. It was his 3rd game with 3 receptions or more among the past 4. Henry gets the Texans in Week 16, a matchup he has exploited for more than 210 rushing yards in 4 consecutive meetings. After that comes a Dallas defense that allowed Travis Etienne to top 100 yards in Week 15.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews drew a team-high 7 targets in Saturday's loss to the Browns, 23.3% of the team's total pass attempts. But he caught just 3 of them for 31 yards. Backup QB Tyler Huntley struggled against a lackluster Cleveland defense. We'll see whether QB Lamar Jackson can make it back for a Week 16 home date with Atlanta.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reiterates that Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) is expected to return to practice next week. The team is "hopeful" Jackson will be able to play vs. the Falcons on Christmas Eve. We'll monitor Jackson's status throughout next week.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) is out for Saturday's game vs. the Browns. QB Tyler Huntley (concussion) isn't listed on the final injury report and is expected to start that one. That's good news for the offense in general -- and specifically TE Mark Andrews -- but Huntley is only a recommended play in 2-QB and Superflex leagues.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) remained sidelined on Wednesday, but QB Tyler Huntley (concussion) was listed as a full participant. So it looks like Huntley is on track to be cleared for Saturday's game vs. the Browns. He's a downgrade from Jackson -- but an upgrade from 3rd-stringer Anthony Brown. Huntley's presence would be especially good news for TE Mark Andrews.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) did not practice on Tuesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday that Jackson's "most realistic return date" is Week 16, so we're not expecting him to play vs. the Browns on Saturday. QB Tyler Huntley (concussion) got in a limited practice on Tuesday, which gives him a shot to be cleared by Saturday. We'll update Baltimore's QB situation again tomorrow.
Titans RB Derrick Henry rebounded from 4 straight down weeks for 121 yards and a TD on 17 carries in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Henry had averaged just 2.8 yards per rush across the previous 4 games, all against middling-to-poor run defenses. This performance will make it much easier to play Henry with confidence in high-upside matchups against the Chargers and Texans the next 2 weeks. Houston, in particular, has allowed Henry to rush for more than 210 yards in 4 consecutive meetings -- including Week 8 of this season.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews managed just 2 receptions for 17 yards in Sunday's win over the Steelers. He tied WR Demarcus Robinson for the team lead with 6 targets on a day that saw Baltimore attempt only 17 throws. The Ravens appear likely to be down to their 3rd QB, Anthony Brown, for next Sunday's game at Cleveland. That's bound to hurt Andrews' upside.
