Tennessee Titans RB Derrick Henry once again proved to be a workhorse -- and still an overlooked one at that on cardboard -- as he had 23 carries for 188 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-32 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. No other RB topped 120 yards this week and only one other had more than two TDs -- you'll see the other here later on the list.

This was just his second 100-yard game of the year but he's got eight TDs this season. This 2016 rookie and and former Heisman winner moved into fifth place on the Titans' career TD list on Sunday by upping his total to 30, trailing only Steve McNair (36), Chris Johnson (50), Eddie George (64) and Hall of Famer Earl Campbell (73). The yardage mark was not a career-high as he posted a ridiculous 238-yard game last season.

Call it a week for the recent rookies.

NFL Week 6 didn't have a lot of flashy games for collectors early on if you ask me, but New York Jets QB Sam Darnold returned for just his second game of the year and helped knock off the Dallas Cowboys 24-22 to give it some spark. He completed 23 of 32 passes for 338 yards with two TDs and a pick in the game, which had to have helped spark some life into his Rookie Cards from last year's boxes -- he's in everything then -- as the only attention they had been getting was for mono/spleen jokes.

Have you seen the latest cool or interesting items on eBay? If not, you just might see some of those here every week as we're launching a weekly version of our eBay Buzz pieces that pop up from time to time. We’ll spotlight some items that have a story or just wow us with how much interest it might have — and we’re not just talking baseball cards, either.

TWO BIG ROOKIES ... 
The Item: Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones 2019 Panini Spectra dual-patch auto 1/1
The Price: $2,025 after 12 bids (two days remaining)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This card is a shiny shining example of how you can't predict legitimate NFL cardboard heat until we're a few games into a season -- and we're still not exactly there. One guy here was the No. 1 overall pick and the other was the No. 1 surprise in the first round -- and it's the surprise that arguably might be winning the battle right now after just taking over the job for the Giants. Murray has had some good stats at times but is winless. I'm not sure who might be powering the demand for this one just yet but it is a rarity from a high-end brand that, while unusual and colorful in the past, looks more appealing this year.

TWO BIG ROOKIES, ONE CARD
The Item: Marquise "Hollywood" Brown & Kyler Murray 2019 Panini Prizm Draft Picks College Ties Gold auto (/10)
The Price: $499.99 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: These rookies were both kind of a big deal in Week 1 NFL action with Brown the dominating guy in a blowout and Murray the guy who disappointed until a two-touchdown fourth-quarter rally that ended with a double-overtime tie. Brown had just four catches but two touchdowns and 147 yards in a big Ravens win that immediately got him close to the top of a number of collector radars despite the fact that they were playing the Dolphins. Murray was already pricey as the No. 1 pick and Brown is now pricey if he wasn't already, so this card of them together -- a rare one -- might be a good combo for somebody who doesn't mind college threads or sticker autos as long as they are clean. There will be plenty to come for both of these guys on the field and on cardboard and this is a good option right now as to something on the rare side. I'm not sure it will go for this price but the movement on some Brown auto cards since Sunday says anything is possible.

ALLLLLL ABOARD?
The Item: Zion Williamson 2019-20 Panini Contenders Draft Picks College Ticket parallel (/5)
The Price: $50,000 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: The Zion packs are here and there are a number of possibilities with the various parallels in this one -- and there are a number of them that are rare like this card. Will this price be hit? Well, big things are also possible for NBA phenoms -- and there are other active auctions that are higher (seriously, hit that link below) for the No. 1 overall draft pick. So ... maybe. Part of me wants to cite the arrivals of Shaq and LeBron James in comparison to this but the hype train just seems to be bigger and pricier than those Hall of Famers. Will it last? We'll see -- again, anything seems possible with NBA cards and the global demand without a massive global supply -- but the key is to ride the track however you want to as a seller, buyer or collector. We have some time before NBA Hoops arrives with him in pro colors so the Duke stuff will get plenty of attention until that time.
