Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Saquon Barkley

Saturday, November 23, 9:04 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry cooled off a bit over the last couple of weeks compared to his huge outputs through the first nine weeks. He's gone up against solid defensive units and will try to find some running room against even better ones over the next two weeks. In Week 12, the Ravens take on the Los Angeles Chargers who are the third toughest team against backfields. They only allow 14.6 fantasy points per game to opposing running back groups in half-PPR formats. While Henry remains a must-start, fantasy managers may want to temper expectations in this matchup since he could end up around a low-end RB1.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. The 27-year-old tallied nearly 200 total yards against the Washington Commanders last week and found the end zone twice. Washington was a solid matchup heading into last week, but the Rams present a bit more of a challenge. Los Angeles has allowed just six rushing touchdowns this year and they allow the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game. With that said, the Eagles are without wide receiver DeVonta Smith and have been the run-heaviest offense in the NFL as of late. Barkley is matchup-proof and is a no-brainer must-start in Week 12.
