Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Alvin Kamara

Saturday, November 8, 9:41 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has gotten back on track over the last few games, and comes into Week 10 as the overall RB15 in half-PPR leagues. Across those last three games, Henry is averaging 104.0 yards and 0.7 touchdowns on 21.3 carries per game. The Minnesota Vikings, however, have been quite stout against the run for most of the season. They're ranked the 11th toughest defense against opposing backfields and limited the dynamic Detroit Lions' run game to just a total of 16 fantasy points last week. With that being said, Henry is projected as a low-end RB1 because Lamar Jackson's gravity can still account for a lot of openings on the ground.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is officially listed as questionable (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Panthers. In Week 9 against the Rams, he continued his season-long struggles, recording just four carries for 14 yards and one reception for four yards. Kamara is in the midst of the worst season of his career, posting lows in nearly every major category: 3.6 yards per carry, 41.9 rushing yards per game, 16.7 receiving yards per game, and 3.9 yards per touch. He also hasn't found the end zone since Week 1. Facing a Panthers defense that allows 110.8 rushing yards and 1.1 rushing touchdowns per game, Kamara is trending in the wrong direction and no longer offers a reliable fantasy floor. He's a low-end RB2, slipping closer to RB3 territory for the divisional matchup.
