Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Isaac Guerendo

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.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo was thrust into action in his rookie season in the NFL in 2024 because Christian McCaffrey missed most of the year due to injuries. Guerendo finished with 84 rushing attempts for 420 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) and also chipped in 15 catches on 16 targets as a pass-catcher for 152 yards. Fantasy managers probably viewed him as a pretty valuable handcuff for the injury-prone CMC going into 2025 drafts, but the Niners' acquisition of Brian Robinson Jr. before the season pretty much killed whatever fantasy appeal he had. Through the first seven weeks of his sophomore campaign, the 25-year-old former fourth-rounder has yet to play an offensive snap with CMC and B-Rob both staying healthy. Instead, Guerendo has been limited to a special teams role, returning five kickoffs for a combined 100 yards.
