Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Trevor Lawrence

Saturday, October 4, 2:05 PM

Even without MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring), Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry still should be considered an RB1 candidate when his team takes on the Houston Texans in Week 5. The veteran running back is coming off a low-volume dud last week during a blowout loss at Kansas City, but should be the focal point of the Baltimore offense on Sunday. Houston allows opponents to score at the lowest rate in the NFL, but is only middle of the pack against fantasy running backs. The Ravens will need Henry to be involved early and often, which should keep him locked into fantasy lineups.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 18 of 25 passes for 221 yards with one touchdown and two turnovers while rushing 10 times for 54 yards and two scores in Monday night's 31-28 win over Kansas City. It wasn't all pretty for Lawrence as he threw a pick, lost a fumble, and took three sacks, but he was active with his legs all night and ultimately led his team on a game-winning drive. He connected with star receiver Brian Thomas Jr. on a beautiful deep ball for a 33-yard gain on the final drive. The 10 rushes tied Lawrence's career high, and Monday night marked the fourth game of his career with two rushing touchdowns. Lawrence has been a bit up and down this season, but should continue to get more comfortable in Liam Coen's offense as the season goes along.
