Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Ashton Jeanty

Wednesday, November 26, 8:47 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has finished as an RB1 in each of the last two weeks, and has registered double-digit fantasy points over his last six consecutive games in half-PPR formats. Despite an ugly average of 3.0 yards per carry last week, he's always a threat to score, like he did twice against the New York Jets. Their Week 13 matchup against the Cincinnatti Bengals should mean a huge green light for Henry. They're ranked 32nd against opposing backfields and have allowed an average of 32.18 fantasy points per game. Henry is projected as a mid-level RB1 this week and should remain in starting lineups regardless of format.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty hasn't found consistent running room this season behind a lackluster offensive line, totaling 166 carries for 604 yards (3.6 YPC) and four touchdowns while adding 37 receptions for 221 yards and four more scores on 46 targets as a receiver. Jeanty injured his ankle in Week 12's loss to the Browns, but he is off the injury report heading into Sunday. His involvement in the passing game has helped save his fantasy outputs in recent weeks, with 22 receptions (26 targets) for 135 yards and two touchdowns in the past four games. The sixth overall pick in this past year's draft is averaging just 2.9 yards per carry in that four-game span. The Raiders fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly earlier in the week, so the offense could look a little different in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jeanty ranks as RotoBaller's RB20 for Week 13.
