Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Omarion Hampton

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.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) was not wearing a walking boot as he watched his teammates warm up ahead of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The absence of a boot is a promising sign as Hampton inches closer to his return from injured reserve. The rookie has been sidelined since Week 5, leaving Kimani Vidal as the team's lead running back. Once Hampton is healthy enough to return, he should reclaim the every-down role that he occupied prior to his injury. Before he's activated, though, he'd need to be designated to return and log a few promising practice sessions. As soon as he gets back onto the field, he'll rank as a solid RB1 for fantasy football.
