MORE NFL WEEK 8: BETTING PLAYBOOK | STAFF PICKS

Travis Etienne Over 69.5 Rushing Yards

With James Robinson traded and now out of the picture, Travis Etienne is the man in Jacksonville. He played 80% of the snaps last week and that number should continue to dominate the backfield moving forward, as he will become a rare three-down workhorse. BetQL is projecting him to take 19 carries for 105 yards and two touchdowns in London against the Broncos and I am completely on board. 

So far this year, the former Clemson star has taken 68 carries for 415 yards (6.1 yards per carry) with a touchdown and over the past three weeks, he has been absolutely insane with his limited workload. He rushed 10 times for 71 yards including a long rush of 30 yards against the Texans, 10 times for 86 yards with a long of 48 yards against the Colts and last week he had his best game of the year with 14 carries for 114 yards and a touchdown against the Giants. This game will take place in London, so neither team will have the home-field advantage, but it’s worth mentioning that the Broncos just allowed 155 rushing yards in last week’s loss to the Jets.

Derrick Henry Over 98.5 Rushing Yards

With Ryan Tannehill (ankle) banged up, the Titans are still road favorites in Houston and Derrick Henry should be in store for a huge workload. In his last three games against the Texans, these were his rushing stats: 32 carries for 211 yards and 3 TD, 22 carries for 212 yards and 2 TD and 34 carries for 250 yards and 2 TD. Those are video game numbers. Insane.

Not only that, but the Texans have allowed an NFL-worst 164.7 rushing yards per contest overall and 5.0 yards per carry at home. After a relatively slow start by his standards, Henry has thrived in three straight games for the Titans, who have won four straight heading into this one. He took 22 carries for 114 yards and a TD at the Colts, 28 carries for 102 yards and 2 TD at the Commanders and 30 carries for 128 yards versus the Colts at home last week. He’s going to get 25-to-30 carries again this week most likely and should absolutely eat. Yes, 98.5 rushing yards may seem like a ton, but remember... Henry is anything but a typical running back.

Devin Singletary Over 55.5 Rushing Yards

Devin Singletary had his best outing of the year in a victory over the Chiefs in Buffalo’s last game when he took 17 carries for 85 yards as the clear RB1. This week against the Packers, BetQL is projecting him to get 17 carries once again for 95 yards and a touchdown. The presumed game script favors the running game, as the Bills are double-digit favorites and will want to keep the clock moving (and the ball out of Aaron Rodgers’ hands). 

If you’re a fan of narratives, it was rumored that Christian McCaffrey was coveted by the Bills. That should be enough to give Singletary a little more adrenaline than usual heading into this matchup, as he will have a chip on his shoulder with something extra to prove. The Packers allowed 166 rushing yards last week and have allowed an average of 156.7 (6th-most in NFL) over the last three weeks, so the matchup shouldn’t create any roadblocks towards potential production.
