The record-breaker had another big game.
Tennessee Titans RB Derrick Henry followed his franchise-record day last week with a league-leading effort this time around in a 17-0 win over the Giants. He had 33 carries for 170-yards and two touchdowns -- all league-highs this week. No other RB even got to the 150-yard mark (or had 30 carries), while six other players hit the end zone twice.
Henry's Rookie Cards and debut autos can be found in packs among the loaded rookie crop of 2016 (click here to see his autos on eBay) and they're probably still warm from last week's out-of-nowhere game. He'll continue to be watched the rest of the way this year.

Keep reading for more guys who generated some buzz on the field this week.
-- DeAndre Hopkins This Houston Texans WR showed once again how he's a franchise guy this week with 10 catches for 170 yards and two touchdowns in a 29-22 win over the Jets. His Rookie Cards can be found back in 2013 boxes and he's on pace for a career year with 1,321 yards and 11 TDs this year -- his highs are 1,521 and 13. I'd argue that he might be under-appreciated among WRs when it comes to cardboard. >> Click here to see his autos on eBay

-- Mike Williams This former Clemson star hasn't put up a 100-yard game yet this season but he's got nine receiving touchdowns and 592 yards this season for the Los Angeles Chargers. Two of those TDs came this week as part of a seven-catch, 76-yard day and he added a rushing TD on his only carry as well as a two-point conversion. His stuff is likely off the radar for a first-round (seventh overall) pick so his 2017 Rookie Cards and first autos could have some potential for growth if he continues to play well.

-- Dalvin Cook This member of last year's rookie class and Minnesota Vikings RB had 19 carries for 136 yards and a pair of touchdown against the Dolphins. Those were his first rushing scores of the year and it was his first 100-yard game, too. This game puts him more on the radar as a guy to watch the rest of this season after his injury last year and issues this season. I'm not sure if he's a buy but a few big games might get attention heading into offseason speculation time. >> Click here to see his autos on eBay

-- Marlon Mack You've seen this guy a few times here this season and his latest game was 27 carries for 139 and two TDs for this Colts RB who was a rookie last year. This was his third game of 125 yards or more this season but just his second with two TDs. He's not had a ton of quality games in between those but his team seems like it could be on the up-tick with the QB clicking. >> Click here to see his autos on eBay

-- Jaylen Samuels LeVeon who? Connor who? The latest Steelers RB up was this rookie who had 19 carries for 142 yards but no score as well as two catches for 30 yards in a 17-10 win over the Patriots. This fifth-round pick out of NC State earlier this year has nearly 900 cards and is pushing 500 autographs, so there's plenty to choose from and there should be some bargains out there. Why? For the year, he has just 201 rushing yards but he has recorded 16 catches and two TDs. (Not amazing stats.) Why did he make the cut for me? The yards are impressive on just 19 carries and, more importantly, the Steelers seem like a team where plenty of collectors are watching closely (and spending). >> Click here to see his autos on eBay
