Derrick Henry -155 +145
The King is back. Derrick Henry had a slow start to the season, as he ran for 107 yards on 34 carries in the first two weeks. He was rarely getting past the line of scrimmage and did not look like the running back we were all used to seeing. But you can’t hold the King down for long, as Henry has run for 301 yards in the last three weeks and had 20 or more attempts in all three of those games. He has scored 4 touchdowns in his last 3 games and has now scored at least once in 4 consecutive games. He will go against a Colts defense that has allowed nearly the most rushing attempts in football.
In Indianapolis’ win last week, they allowed the Jaguars to run for 243 yards. Henry is the focal point of the Titans’ offense, especially with Ryan Tannehill having a down year, so expect the King to get at least 20 touches and find the endzone on Sunday.
Lamar Jackson +130 +230
It’s the first battle between these AFC North foes, and it provides an excellent opportunity for Lamar Jackson to get back on track. The Ravens QB started the season strong as he threw for 749 yards and 10 touchdowns while running for 243 yards and 2 touchdowns in the first three weeks. However, the MVP candidate has regressed as he faced the Giants, Bengals and Bills, who all possess a strong defense against the run. In fact, the Giants and Bengals have allowed only 2 rushing touchdowns this season, the second-fewest in the NFL. The same cannot be said for the Browns, who have allowed 11 rushing touchdowns this season — which is the most allowed by any defense in the league.
They have allowed 2 or more rushing touchdowns in 4 consecutive games, including 3 to the Patriots last week. Jackson has rushed 56 times this season, and against a weak Cleveland running defense, I expect to see him take off at least 10 times on Sunday — and at least 1 should be for a touchdown.
Travis Kelce -120 +180
The 49ers are 3-3 and are tied at the top of the NFC West, but this will be their first true test of the season. They have yet to face an offense as strong and balanced as the Chiefs, and that’s why I’m not too worried about San Francisco’s solid secondary numbers. The departure of Tyreek Hill has made Patrick Mahomes even more dangerous in a way because he is spreading out the targets evenly, except for Travis Kelce. His tight end has about a fifth of the teams receptions and has been Mahomes’ favorite guy in the end zone, as he’s scored in 4 of their 6 games this season.
He exploded for 4 touchdowns against the Raiders in Week 5, and although we may not see another multi-touchdown game, oddsmakers are expecting a high-scoring game. Kelce should play a large role in it.
