Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Jonathon Brooks

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry not only produced a big game but also kept his scoring streak alive with a late touchdown catch. In the 41-31 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Henry registered 169 yards on 15 carries with one reception for 13 yards and a touchdown on his only target. His longest run of the night was an 81-yard sprint down the sideline where he was caught just before getting into the end zone. Regardless, Henry continues to dominate while he separated himself even further as the RB1 this year. He'll go up against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8.

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) was limited in Friday's practice but has been ruled out and won't make his NFL debut this weekend versus the Washington Commanders. Brooks made his return to practice for the first time this year on Wednesday while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered last November while playing in college at Texas, so the 21-year-old wasn't realistically expected to play in Week 7. However, the 46th overall pick in this year's draft (the first RB off the board), could become a big part of Carolina's backfield alongside Chuba Hubbard later this year once he gets up to speed. Brooks will need to make more progress in practice next week to have a shot to make his debut for the Panthers in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos. He's worth stashing in all fantasy leagues.
