As Week 10 approaches, ClutchPoints highlights the fantasy‑football running backs you should start. Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) remains the top PPR option with 847 rushing yards, nine rushing TDs and 45 targets, despite a tough Patriots defense. Kenneth Walker III (KC) rebounds from a two‑week slump, posting 102 yards and three TDs last week and faces a Falcons defense that has given up big rushing numbers. Christian McCaffrey (SF) stays a reliable tier‑1 RB, riding a Cowboys secondary that yields the second‑most rushing yards to opponents. Sleepers include Tony Pollard (TEN), who’s hot after a bye and could capitalize against Jacksonville. Bye weeks for the Bears, Broncos, Eagles and Buccaneers also shape roster moves.

The Denver Broncos say the planned trade for Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley has collapsed. The deal, first reported by Adam Schefter, would have sent Henley to Denver for a 2027 fourth‑round pick and a 2028 fifth‑round pick. Henley, a 26‑year‑old former 2023 third‑rounder from Washington State, is on an expiring contract and will become an unrestricted free agent in 2027. This season he’s logged 51 tackles, an interception, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in eight games.
The Denver Broncos' trade for Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley fell apart after he failed a physical, canceling a deal that would have sent him to Denver for a 2027 fourth‑round and a 2028 fifth‑round pick. Henley, who led Los Angeles with 147 tackles in 2024 and boasts 317 career tackles, was poised to bolster Denver's 7‑2 defense, but the Broncos released DBs Sean Fresch Jr. and Ugo Amadi in anticipation. Neither team disclosed why the physical failed. Henley remains with the Chargers, who have yet to notch a win this season, while the Broncos miss a potential defensive upgrade.
Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley remains with the team after the Denver Broncos' proposed trade collapses at the last second. Denver announced Wednesday the deal— which would have sent the Chargers a 2027 fourth‑round and a 2028 fifth‑round pick— fell through, though neither side disclosed why. The trade was contingent on Henley passing a physical; his recent shoulder issue has not been confirmed as the cause. Henley posted a meme on X reacting to the news. The Broncos, 7‑2 heading into their bye week, lose a potential veteran linebacker, while Henley stays a defensive leader for the Chargers, having logged 51 tackles, an interception, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble in the first eight games of 2026.
The Denver Broncos announced Wednesday night that their pending trade for Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley fell through. Denver had agreed to send a 2027 fourth‑round and a 2028 fifth‑round pick to Los Angeles, but the deal was cancelled after Henley failed a physical, though the team gave no details. Henley, who just returned from a shoulder injury, posted a season‑high 10 tackles, an interception and a pass defended in the Chargers’ 44‑22 loss to the Texans. The Broncos, now 7‑2 after a 26‑21 win over Carolina, remain without a new inside linebacker for the stretch run, while the winless Chargers keep Henley for their upcoming game against Baltimore.
The Broncos announced Wednesday night that the trade won't be finalized, returning Henley to the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Denver Broncos trade for linebacker Daiyan Henley at the deadline, sending the Chargers a 2027 fourth‑round and a 2028 fifth‑round pick. Henley, a former Chargers captain with 41 career starts and 51 tackles in eight games this season, bolsters Denver’s 7‑2 defense without costing an early‑round pick or a big contract. While his tackling and leadership add depth alongside Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad, concerns over his pass‑coverage ability and his pending free‑agency status keep the move from earning an A grade. The trade earns the Broncos a B, reflecting useful immediate help but lingering uncertainty about his overall impact.
