Who Should I Start? Chase Brown or TreVeyon Henderson

Saturday, September 6, 11:28 AM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had a slow start to the 2024 campaign, at least in the first three games. However, after establishing himself as the clear No. 1 option on the depth chart, there was no looking back. He would go on to finish the year by finding the end zone 11 times while barely missing the 1,000-yard rushing mark. The Bengals will begin the year with a Week 1 matchup versus the Cleveland Browns. Brown didn't play his best in two meetings with the Browns in 2024, combining for 33 carries for 135 yards and only 27 yards off five grabs. To be fair, he had trouble from a consistency standpoint against all of the teams in the AFC North. Although that makes him a risker DFS option, he's still a must-start in season-long fantasy setups.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said on WEEI on Monday that rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson will remain a "big part of what we do" moving forward. While Rhamondre Stevenson got the start in the Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday and led the team with seven rushing attempts, he was only able to muster 15 yards on the ground while catching two of three targets for 12 yards. Meanwhile, Henderson was much more efficient on five carries, rushing for 27 yards (5.4 yards per carry), and he also caught all six of his targets for 24 yards through the air. On special teams, the 22-year-old back from Ohio State returnedtwo kickoffs for 43 yards. Henderson's fantasy managers have to be pleased with his involvement in the season opener, and he should have more upside in Week 2 against a Dolphins D that gave up 33 points to the Colts.
