Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Trey McBride

Saturday, October 11, 9:58 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry continues to see his fantasy value diminish each week. In half-PPR formats, he's finished in RB1 territory only one time and has scored double-digit fantasy points twice. He only has one more touchdown than he does fumbles, and he still doesn't play any part in the passing game. Their opponent, the Los Angeles Rams, is currently ranked as the third-toughest team against running backs in fantasy as they give up just 15.56 fantasy points per matchup. They held Christian McCaffrey to 57 yards on 22 carries and Saquon Barkley to 46 yards on 18 carries. That combined with the Ravens' offensive line issues and fullback Patrick Ricard (calf) still sidelined, means Henry is projected to finish around RB19.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride still sits atop the mountain at the position as the number-one option in the team's offense. He's still Kyler Murray's (foot) favorite target, and even if Jacoby Brissett gets the start, McBride plays a great security blanket role. The Indianapolis Colts are ranked as the tenth-toughest defense against the position, allowing 11.66 fantasy points per game, but McBride has been matchup-proof for the past couple of seasons. It goes without saying that McBride is a set-it-and-forget-it type of play.
