There are a few running backs after week one that you should be looking at the target in trades right now.

0:04.2

These are guys that I believe a ton of people are overreacting just from one week of playing time and you can take advantage of that.

0:10.1

And for what it's worth, I've helped over 15,000 people win their fantasy leagues the last the Baltimore Ravens, who played all the way back on Thursday night football. And here's the thing. It started out nice for Derek Henry. He had

0:25.4

an early touchdown. I think he had like the first touchdown of the season. You cast the over

0:28.9

a half a touchdown. He's in your fantasy lineup doing well, but then things got bad. Because

0:32.7

unfortunately, our King only ended up with 13 carries for a measly 46 yards. He was averaging about three yards

0:39.1

per carry or so, and that touchdown really saved his day as he barely broke 10 fantasy points.

0:43.5

Did get two targets, but no receptions in the game. So overall, it didn't look all that great.

0:48.0

And then we pull up this number to see his snaps in the game. He plays just 37 snaps.

0:52.1

This is according to PFF, while Justice Hill plays 43 snaps because the Ravens were trailing in this game, he plays just 37 snaps. This is according to PFF, while Justice Hill plays 43

0:54.7

snaps because the Ravens were trailing in this game, Austin, often Justice Hill was on the field

0:59.1

more. And as you can see right here, this number six, that's the amount of targets Justice Hill got

1:02.9

as they were playing from behind. Hill played 54% of the snaps in this game, and Derek Henry

1:07.4

came off the field. So now it's an alarming concern that Henry's not

1:10.9

going to see touches. I've seen plenty of Derek Henry managers just concerned right now,

1:15.0

but listen, they're not going to play Patrick Mahomes in the back-to-back Super Bowl champions every

1:18.7

week. The Ravens are only underdogs two more times this year. So don't expect them to be

1:22.7

trailing in games all that much this season, if at all. And Derek Henry, in what should be the worst game

1:28.1

script he plays in all season, trailing by two plus scores for most of the game, he still saw

1:32.3

13 carries in two targets, 15 opportunities in the worst game script, finds the end zone,

1:36.6

gets you 10 fantasy points. And again, in my opinion, he's going to be seeing moving forward

1:41.0

16 plus touches in a more favorable environment with weeks where he sees 20
