Who Should I Start? Derrick Henry or Xavier Worthy

Friday, October 31, 12:48 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry rushed for 119 yards on 19 carries during Thursday's Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins. He also converted his lone target into a two-yard reception. Henry had a relatively underwhelming four-week stretch earlier in the season, but he has suddenly bounced back with three terrific showings. Over his last three contests, he has totaled 64 carries, 312 rushing yards, and two touchdowns, as well as a pair of receptions. He's firmly back in RB1 territory ahead of a favorable Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 9. Worthy caught five passes for 53 yards in the 28-7 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 8. Last week marked Worthy's third game of the season with at least five receptions. With Rashee Rice stepping back into the WR1 role and Travis Kelce reemerging as a top option, the speedster may continue to be relegated to a tertiary role in the Kansas City offense. That said, Worthy was able to put up a decent stat line regardless of the blowout, and he may be able to build on that this week. Worthy and the Chiefs face the Bills, who have allowed the ninth-fewest points to opposing wide receivers this season. Even with his diminished workload, Worthy is still an explosive player and can break off a long play at any moment. Worthy is ranked WR28 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, placing him just outside WR2 but firmly in WR3/Flex territory this week.
