Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Jauan Jennings

Saturday, December 6, 11:12 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry is coming off of a RB1 level finish against the Cincinnati Bengals where there were plenty of points left on the table after receiving just 10 carries. Head coach John Harbaugh talked about getting Henry more carries, but this isn't the first time he's said it, even over the course of this season. Plus, in Week 14, Henry faces off against the Pittsburgh Steelers who are currently ranked as the eighth toughest defense against opposing backfields. They allow 19.37 fantasy points per game to running backs and have only given up five rushing touchdowns all season. Henry has had a better time finding the end zone at home which still gives him a bit of a value boost, but he's projected as the RB11 in half-PPR formats on the RotoBaller rankings.

After a slow start to the 2025 season, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings has proved himself as a must-start receiver moving into the fantasy playoffs. Jennings has caught a touchdown in four of his last five starts and has averaged 13.9 PPR fantasy points per game since Week 9. His hot streak has gotten him back to his WR1 role in San Francisco, ahead of Ricky Pearsall and Brandon Aiyuk. With Aiyuk (knee) unlikely to play in 2025, Jennings has no reason to slow down. He faces the Tennessee Titans in Week 15, who have allowed the sixth-most receiving yards to wide receivers in 2025, and struggled to maintain Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the snow in Week 14. Fantasy managers can fully trust Jennings as a starting option in the fantasy playoffs, as he looks to extend his touchdown streak following the bye.
