Surging

TreVeyon Henderson has barely practised since August 24 and the opener is Wednesday. Stevenson is free in most leagues and has carried a backfield before.

Coming back

Off the PUP list eight months after tearing an Achilles, with a real chance at Thursday in Australia. Buy the player, fade the Week 1 snap count.
