Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or TreVeyon Henderson

Friday, November 14, 10:37 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is looking more and more like the true first option in the Philly passing game after outperforming and out-snapping A.J. Brown against the Packers. Smith has now led his team in receiving yards in five of their nine contests-including the last three in a row-while Brown has done so only once. In Week 11, the Lions travel to Lincoln Financial Field boasting a defense that has not allowed a 100-yard receiver in their last four games. Smith has put up more than 14 points in PPR formats in four of his last five performances, but he'll have his work cut out for him on Sunday night. His target numbers have gotten higher and more consistent after the first four weeks of the season, making him a more reliable WR2 for this week and the foreseeable future.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson capitalized on a favorable matchup against the New York Jets in Week 11, scoring three touchdowns as the Patriots became the first team in the NFL to reach nine wins this season. Henderson totaled 19 carries, 62 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, five catches, 31 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. While he remained relatively inefficient in terms of yards per carry, he dominated in nearly every other category. Henderson took advantage of an increased workload with Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) sidelined, handling a career-high 88 percent snap share and 24 total touches. Stevenson is getting closer to returning, but the rookie has proven that he deserves to be the lead back even when Stevenson is healthy. Henderson should continue to be viewed as a high-end RB2 in fantasy football.
