Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Dalvin Cook

Friday, September 12, 10:05 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry doesn't have anything to prove when it comes to his overall career. After last week, however, he'll look to bounce back after fumbling during a key moment in the fourth quarter, which eventually led to a loss. Then, while talking to the media, Grant Delpit from the Browns responded to a question about how hard it was to tackle Henry with "not hard." As if the 10-year vet already didn't run with a purpose. Last season, he collected 211 yards and three touchdowns on 31 carries combined between the two games against the Browns. They saw his third-highest yards per carry mark (6.81) out of all of the teams he played that year. RotoBaller currently has him ranked the RB1 in half-PPR leagues, so make sure he isn't on the bench.

Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook won't be elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Cook has been on the active roster for each of the last two games, but hasn't done much damage on the field. He has rushed eight times for 20 yards over his past two appearances. The Cowboys have decided to go a different route this weekend. Instead, Rico Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott, and Deuce Vaughn will split up the carries in the backfield. Out of the trio, Dowdle is the most reliable option with a 75-yard performance during last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Fantasy managers still holding onto Cook are probably safe to look elsewhere for help.
