Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or TreVeyon Henderson

Friday, December 26, 10:20 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has faced some tough times this season in regard to ball security and questionable coaching decisions. While he registered his fourth fumble of the year last week against the New England Patriots, he still accrued 128 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Tyler Huntley is likely to be under center in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers, which means Henry should see some more carries. In Weeks 6 and 8, Henry received a combined 45 carries with Huntley as the starter. The Packers, however, are the eighth-toughest team in the league against the position over the last four weeks. They only allow 19.38 fantasy points per game to opposing backfields, but Henry was able to run all over the third-ranked Patriots defense, so he still projects as the RB11 in RotoBaller's rankings.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (concussion) no longer carries an injury designation into Sunday's Week 17 matchup against the New York Jets. Henderson has cleared concussion protocol after getting banged up during last week's game against the Baltimore Ravens. The rookie running back will continue splitting up the backfield duties with Rhamondre Stevenson. Henderson has looked like the much better option in recent weeks and figures to have a significant role given the Pats' offensive injuries. The Pats' rookie running back should offer top-12 fantasy value against the struggling Jets defense. Fantasy managers can safely get him into their lineups with Henderson clearing concussion protocol.
