Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Breece Hall

Saturday, December 13, 10:51 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry continues to boast RB1 potential heading into the Week 15 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite finishing as the RB20 in half-PPR leagues against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14, Henry has a bounce back opportunity versus a weaker run defense. In Week 13 against the Bengals, Henry finished with 10 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown to go along with one reception for 44 yards. He could have been used even more in that matchup, and the Ravens' coaching staff took some heat for their decision to not give him the ball more often. The Bengals still rank last against opposing running backs and the Ravens are fighting for their playoff lives, so Henry still carries RB1 value in this game.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall has a difficult matchup on tap for Week 15, when his team squares off with the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars. Hall was initially at risk of missing this weekend's contest after he began the week tagged with a DNP due to a knee injury. Fortunately, he'd elevate his practice status each of the following days, and carries no designation into Sunday's outing. Despite the minor issue, the Iowa State alum is trending toward being the focal point of New York's attack with rookie signal-caller Brady Cook under center. While Hall's volume should be significant, he'll slide down the fantasy rankings this week. Aside from a lower ceiling with Cook at the helm, he'll have to deal with a league-best Jacksonville rush defense (82.9 yards per game), further hindering his fantasy potential. Hall's volume should be nice, but he'll be a fringey RB2, and, officially, RotoBaller's PPR RB20 for Week 15.
