Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Alexander Mattison

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 11 times for just 20 yards in the 27-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He did not catch a pass, so the 29-year-old obviously posted one of the worst games of his career. The Titans' offensive line was pushed around by the Browns' fierce defensive line and Henry never had any room to make something happen. After a game this disastrous, Henry has a floor even lower than expected. That said, it's far too early to take him out of "must-start" territory moving forward. He'll draw a matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4.

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison carried the ball 20 times for 93 yards and added five receptions for 32 yards in the team's Week 3 loss. Mattison handled a hefty workload in this one, but that was with newly acquired Cam Akers being inactive. He still figures to be the lead back moving forward, but fantasy managers should expect a decrease in his value when Akers gets implemented into the Vikings offense. Moving forward, the 25-year-old looks like more of a FLEX option if he does in fact see a reduced role in an already pass-heavy offense.
