Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Tre' Harris

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry continues to boast RB1 potential heading into the Week 15 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite finishing as the RB20 in half-PPR leagues against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14, Henry has a bounce back opportunity versus a weaker run defense. In Week 13 against the Bengals, Henry finished with 10 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown to go along with one reception for 44 yards. He could have been used even more in that matchup, and the Ravens' coaching staff took some heat for their decision to not give him the ball more often. The Bengals still rank last against opposing running backs and the Ravens are fighting for their playoff lives, so Henry still carries RB1 value in this game.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre' Harris caught one pass for 18 yards on two targets in last week's overtime win against the Philadelphia Eagles. Although he has been on the field for about 50% of snaps recently, his route rate remains low at 38%, limiting consistent production. Harris's outlook improves slightly this week because teammate Quentin Johnston (groin) is questionable, and Harris had his most targets and receptions of the season when Johnston previously missed a game in Week 6. However, overall passing production stays limited due to Justin Herbert's hand injury, the league-worst offensive line, and the team's run-first approach against the Kansas City Chiefs' top-10 pass defense. Harris's only potential for fantasy relevance is if the Chiefs jump out to an early lead, leading to a pass-heavy game script. Even with more targets, Harris is mainly a deep-league stash for this week.
