Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Michael Pittman Jr.

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.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. will come out of a Week 11 bye to face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 12. Pittman is enjoying a bounce-back season after a rough 2024, catching 54 passes for 580 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games. The veteran wideout will look to break a two-game scoreless streak in Week 12 as he goes up against a Kansas City defense that is allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. While this is a tough matchup, Pittman has been an excellent red-zone threat this season and should return low-end WR2 numbers for fantasy managers in Week 12.
