Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or TreVeyon Henderson

Monday, December 15, 12:30 AM

The Chicago Bears continued to enforce their will on the ground in Sunday's 31-3 blowout win over the visiting Cleveland Browns on Sunday, and running back D'Andre Swift was a big part of that. The 26-year-old had a team-high 18 rushing attempts for 98 yards while scoring twice on the ground. Swift added only one catch on one target for a loss of two yards. Rookie Kyle Monangai continued to play a key role in Chicago's backfield next to Swift, but he averaged just 3.0 yards on his 11 carries. The Bears leaned on Swift late in the game with a big lead, as he had nine carries for 56 yards in frigid temperatures in Chicago. This was Swift's first multi-touchdown game of the year. He's been a must-start in fantasy lineups with at least 80 scrimmage yards in five of his last six games. However, it could be tough sledding for Swift in a Week 16 rematch with the division-rival Packers. He had 13 carries for 63 yards just last week in the loss to Green Bay.

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson totaled over 150 yards from scrimmage with two touchdowns during their loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. On the ground, the second-round pick out of Ohio State took 14 attempts for 148 yards and two scores. Both of his touchdowns came on long rushes for 52 yards and 65 yards, respectively. Through the air, Henderson brought in two of his three targets for an additional 13 yards. Even though Henderson ceded six carries and three targets to Rhamondre Stevenson, Henderson still operated as the lead back and flashed much higher upside. Managers should continue to view the rookie as a high-end must-start RB2 in all formats, even if he continues to share opportunities with Stevenson, ahead of a tilt against the Ravens in Week 16
