There was no bigger addition in the offseason than superstar running back Derrick Henry
Henry has been one of the most productive running backs in football over the last five seasons.
The veteran will fit perfectly into this rush-first offense led by Lamar Jackson.
In the red zone, Henry is amongst the best backs in football.
If Baltimore scores first, Henry will likely be the guy.
Pick: Rashee Rice +1100 Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Rice took the league by storm last season as Mahomes' top option in the passing game. Rice was a top option for KC in the red zone a season ago.
The second-year receiver is a threat on any play, making him attractive at this price.
The former SMU star had extremely high usage in 2023, and should see even more this season.
Let’s cash in on these long shots tonight!
