Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Samaje Perine

Sunday, October 1, 4:24 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 22 times for 122 yards and a touchdown in the blowout win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught one pass for 11 yards and completed a two-yard pass for a touchdown. It was a big performance for the 29-year-old, just a week after being held to just 20 yards. The former rushing champion is at risk of having dud performances this year as a part of the inconsistent Titans offense, but he's clearly still a must-start fantasy option. He'll face the Indianapolis Colts next week.

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine didn't take advantage of an opportunity for a bigger role in the 31-28 comeback win over the Chicago Bears in Week 4 on Sunday when Javonte Williams (hip) left the game for good in the first half. Perine handled six carries, one less than undrafted rookie Jaleel McLaughlin, and picked up only 12 yards (2.0 yards per tote) on the ground. He added 23 receiving yards while hauling in both of his targets through the air. The 28-year-old could have a bigger role moving forward if Williams is forced to miss any time with his injury, but Perine has so far been a disappointment through his first four weeks with the Broncos and could be behind McLaughlin in the pecking order. Even if Williams is unavailable for a tough Week 5 matchup against the New York Jets, Perine will be hard to recommend as an RB3/flex.
