Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or D'Andre Swift

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.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) returned to a full practice session on Thursday after he was limited the day before, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. Swift missed the Week 9 game due to a nagging groin issue, but he returned in last week's win over the New York Giants and handled 18 touches for 98 scrimmage yards. However, rookie RB Kyle Monangai, who went off in Week 9 in Swift's absence, scored the team's lone rushing touchdown on seven carries. The 26-year-old Swift is still the Bears' lead back, but the emergence of Monangai as his change-of-pace backfield mate could limit Swift's overall weekly upside in the second half of the season. Swift is the RB14 in half-PPR scoring this year with 544 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 113 carries while adding 23 catches for 210 yards and another score in eight games. He'll be a high-end RB2 in Week 11 against the G-Men.
