Episode notes

- Derrick Henry's production depends more on game script than Lamar Jackson's presence.
- Bob Harris still ranks Henry as a top-1 RB despite usage variations and short weeks.

- In Pacheco's absence, consider Kareem Hunt as a start-in-a-pinch option near the goal line.
- Avoid depending on Brashard Smith as a must-start; treat him as a risky flex play.
