Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Isaac Guerendo

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.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo entered the 2025 season as a prime handcuff for fantasy managers who were looking to score Christian McCaffrey at a discount early in drafts. However, Guerendo's fantasy value took a massive hit when the Niners acquired Brian Robinson Jr. from the Washington Commanders. B-Rob has been McCaffrey's backup through two weeks, relegating Guerendo to a distant RB3 role. In the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints, the 25-year-old didn't play a single snap on offense, with all 17 of his snaps coming on special teams. Guerendo averaged a healthy 5.0 yards per carry on 84 rushing attempts for 420 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) as a rookie in 2024 when CMC was bothered by injuries, but currently, he's well off the fantasy radar in single-year leagues going into Week 3 against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals.
