Welcome to Week 9 of the 2026 Footballguys Roundtable. Our intrepid panel of fantasy pundits discusses and debates four topics every week. We split the conversation into separate features.
This week's roundtable features these four topics:
- Ravens' Skill Talent, Post-Lamar Jackson
- WRs to Start-Flex-Hold-Drop
- Nebulous Depth Charts
- Jonah Coleman's Outlook
Let's roll...
Matt Waldman: With its two most experienced quarterbacks on the shelf, and Jacoby Brissett getting a crash course before he's thrown into the fray, what's our fantasy outlook for the rest of the season for Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers?
Corey Spala: Baltimore may look to lean on Derrick Henry. However, Justice Hill received a season-high eight targets in Week 8. Flowers had three targets and zero receptions; this had me questioning his value before the acquisition of Jacoby Brissett.
The offense had a game plan in Week 8, and that was immediately changed due to two quarterbacks' injuries. The Week 8 stat lines could be a result of in-the-moment changes to the game plan. Flowers should have no concerns when Brissett gets acclimated to the offense after this week.
The offense certainly can move forward and create a game plan to help scheme Flowers touches with screens and in the short-to-intermediate levels of the field. Flowers is a threat for a big play with the ball in his hands.
Henry may not benefit as much as we may think. His per-game stats without mobile quarterbacks crater significantly; he averaged 11.65 points per game with Cooper Rush under center (2025).
A bonus for a running back like Henry is that he will receive goal-line touches; he is third in the NFL in carries within five yards, and a touchdown will salvage any fantasy week.
