Who Should I Start? De'Von Achane or TreVeyon Henderson

Sunday, November 16, 1:29 PM

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane put together an excellent fantasy day in his team's overtime victory against the Washington Commanders by compiling 165 total yards on 26 touches. Though he didn't score, Achane caught all five targets for 45 yards and ended the day with 120 rushing yards from 21 carries. As Miami's best offensive weapon, Achane was involved early and often, and he performed capably against a struggling Washington defense. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Ollie Gordon II scored a one-yard touchdown, the team's only one of the day. Still, Achane has shown he deserves the benefit of the doubt every week, even on a Dolphins team that has underperformed overall.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson capitalized on a favorable matchup against the New York Jets in Week 11, scoring three touchdowns as the Patriots became the first team in the NFL to reach nine wins this season. Henderson totaled 19 carries, 62 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, five catches, 31 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. While he remained relatively inefficient in terms of yards per carry, he dominated in nearly every other category. Henderson took advantage of an increased workload with Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) sidelined, handling a career-high 88 percent snap share and 24 total touches. Stevenson is getting closer to returning, but the rookie has proven that he deserves to be the lead back even when Stevenson is healthy. Henderson should continue to be viewed as a high-end RB2 in fantasy football.
