Who Should I Start? Chase Brown or TreVeyon Henderson

Saturday, December 13, 12:43 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has played better in the final stretch of the 2025 campaign. He was much improved as a runner leading up to the Week 14 loss to the Bills, amassing at least 5.2 yards per carry in five of his previous six appearances. Although the 25-year-old struggled on the ground in snowy Buffalo, he made up for it by finding the end zone twice. Brown has been back in the must-start conversation for weeks, which will continue to apply to Sunday's meeting with the Baltimore Ravens. With Tee Higgins (concussion) out, Brown could see even more attention on the receiving end, increasing his fantasy ceiling. He caught all seven of his targets for 35 yards when these clubs met in Week 13, a game in which Higgins also wasn't available.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson's ascension into the lead-back role has come at the perfect time, as he continues to face off against a string of below-average run defenses. This week, Henderson's Patriots take on the Buffalo Bills, who have allowed the most rushing touchdowns, sixth-most rushing yards, and sixth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. The rookie has fared quite well since replacing Rhamondre Stevenson atop the depth chart. Even in Stevenson's two games since returning from injury, Henderson has totaled 35 touches, 133 rushing yards, and 34 receiving yards. He has double-digit fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last five games, and against a Bills defense that has allowed 18 touchdowns this year, Henderson has a good shot at breaking his two-game streak without a trip to the end zone. He continues to rank as a low-end RB1 for Week 15 against Buffalo.
