- Jacksonville Jaguars visit the Baltimore Ravens at 8:15 p.m. ET on "Thursday Night Football" in Week 9.
- Lamar Jackson is out with a thumb injury, leaving Trevor Lawrence and Derrick Henry at the head of the NFL DFS player pool.
- Derrick Henry is one of Mike McClure’s top picks after averaging 129.1 rushing yards with 14 total touchdowns over his last 10 games against Jacksonville; McClure says Baltimore should lean heavily on him as Jacksonville has allowed 100-plus rushing yards in each of its last two games after 63.8 over the first five.
- Bhayshul Tuten came off a career game with career highs of 104 rushing yards, 55 receiving yards, 159 total yards and two touchdowns, while posting at least 87 scrimmage yards in all but one game this year.
- Tyler Loop is the field-goal option McClure identifies for a Baltimore offense without Jackson, which has scored just one touchdown in each of its last three games against Jacksonville’s No. 2 scoring defense.
- Brian Thomas Jr. is a sleeper candidate after scoring Sunday following back-to-back games without a catch.
- SportsLine says Mike McClure’s prediction model simulates every snap using matchups, trends and injuries; with more than $2 million in career winnings, his complete Week 9 picks remain available only through SportsLine.
Why it matters: For DFS players, Jackson’s absence makes Henry and Jaguars backs the featured alternatives: Jacksonville has allowed 63.8 rushing yards over its first five games but 100-plus in each of the last two. Baltimore’s one-touchdown pace over its last three games also supports McClure’s Tyler Loop field-goal angle.
