Video: Week 9 Fantasy Football RB Rankings: Happy Chase Brown BOOM week
it feels sacrilegious to rank Derrick Henry as low as I have him... lowest implied team point total with the simultaneous toughest match up on the slate. It's just so stuff so tough to feel good about Derrick Henry this week... they're facing the Jaguars, best defense in the league in fantasy points per game allowed in the position on a Ravens offense implied to score the fewest points in all of Week 9...this offense already went from fifth in EPA per play in weeks 1 through 4 to 29th during the last 4 weeks.

RB17 vs Jaguars; worst game environment, Ravens offense collapsed to 29th EPA

Ian Hartitz ranks Derrick Henry as RB17 vs Jaguars (best defense in league in fantasy points per game allowed to RBs) on Thursday night quick turnaround. Ravens offense has collapsed from 5th in EPA per play (weeks 1-4) to 29th over last 4 weeks, and Hartitz expects floor to be even lower with Lamar Jackson returning from injury. While Ravens may feed Henry 30+ carries as their best offensive option, Hartitz cannot rank him higher than RB17 in this nightmare matchup; ranking simultaneously feels too low and too high at the same time. Lowest implied team point total on the slate combined with toughest matchup for the position creates significant headwinds.
