Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or James Cook

Sunday, November 23, 6:48 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry struggled to find much room to run during Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Luckily for fantasy managers, Henry was able to find the end zone a few times, or it would've been an ugly outing. Henry rushed the ball 21 times for 64 yards with two touchdowns in the win over the Jets. His 3.0 yard-per-carry mark wasn't ideal, but the volume of carries and his ability to find the end zone kept him in RB1 territory. The veteran back will get an excellent matchup against the horrible Cincinnati Bengals run defense next week.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook had 17 carries for 116 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown during Thursday's Week 12 loss against the Houston Texans. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 13 receiving yards. The highlight of his game was a 45-yard touchdown run to break the scoreless tie in the first quarter. Even as the Bills' offense was slowed down by the Texans' strong defense, Cook still had a very productive game and carved out a terrific fantasy performance once again. He logged his first rushing touchdown since Week 8 and now has nine trips to the end zone this season. He remains a high-end RB1 option heading into Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
