Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Rachaad White

Wednesday, November 26, 8:47 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has finished as an RB1 in each of the last two weeks, and has registered double-digit fantasy points over his last six consecutive games in half-PPR formats. Despite an ugly average of 3.0 yards per carry last week, he's always a threat to score, like he did twice against the New York Jets. Their Week 13 matchup against the Cincinnatti Bengals should mean a huge green light for Henry. They're ranked 32nd against opposing backfields and have allowed an average of 32.18 fantasy points per game. Henry is projected as a mid-level RB1 this week and should remain in starting lineups regardless of format.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White will see an increased workload for at least one more game with Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) ruled out for Week 12. However, fellow back Sean Tucker has outperformed White over the last few weeks. Last week, Tucker rushed for over 100 yards and scored three touchdowns in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. White has shown little success on the ground this season, which could mean more carries for Tucker in Week 12. The three-touchdown performance should almost certainly give Tucker an expanded role this weekend. That means, White could be looking at a reduced role as a rusher, so he shouldn't be trusted as anything more than a flex option.
